Re: Blackmagic Design’s SmartView HD Monitor & Pocket Ultrascope

Hey Bob,

Love reading your reviews and comments. Was wondering what your thoughts are on using a SmartView HD vs. 27" Apple Cinema Display for an ATEM multiview? I believe I read elsewhere that your opinion on the matter was to just throw the cheapest television available at it and call it good.

We did that for one event (we do live sports) and the resolution of our 32" tv just didn't cut it for us. Our switcher couldn't really make judgements on exposure from his monitor. For a portable system that gives us good image sharpness with multiview would you recommend the 27" Cinemas Display or the SmartView HD or something else entirely? We're probably not looking to go over $1000 for this monitor.

Thanks a lot!

Kevin
