Does anyone have any experience using their editing monitor as a field monitor on set. I just upgraded my computer and now I am ready to upgrade to an IPS monitor to edit on. I would like to be able to take that monitor and put it on a C-Stand, connect through HDMI to my camera (usually Canon 7D) to use as a monitor when shooting.
Ideally I would have a ton of money to get a Flanders Scientific with right scopes and HD-SDI connections dedicated for use on set, but right now that is not where my bank account is. I am leaning towards Dell Ultrasharp 27inch U2711 - $850. I know that without scopes you wouldn't have 100% accuracy between what you are seeing on the monitor and what you are capturing, but I wondering if you can get close with a calibrated IPS monitor.
Anyone having success with this type of setup?
Thanks in advance,
John
