Would this LCD monitor be OK for video editing.

[Guest]

Archived from groups: rec.video.desktop (More info?)

I want to get dual LCD monitors for my video editing but don't know much
about them. Since I live in OZ some brands aren't available here. I have
taken a preliminary look around 7 saw this & would like any opinions about
this one spec to see if it looks OK. The brand & model is Polyview V17E.

If this one won't do the job please feel free to suggest others.

Specifications:
:


a.. Model A170E1

Define what you want out of this monitor? If you want to use the
monitor to decide when to make the cut or judge how fast to make
the wipe or where display the text super, then an LCD monitor is
as good (or bad) as any other kind of monitor.

OTOH, if you are looking for a monitor to make qualitative decisions
about how to adjust the picture parameters (brightness, contrast, color,
etc), then NO *computer* LCD monitor OF ANY MAKE, MODEL,
OR PRICE is suitable.

The only LCD monitors that are designed to accurately display
video are made for broadcast use and likely cost several times
what you paid for your entire computer system.

99% of all professionals (and even semi-professionals) use
conventional video (NOT computer) CRT monitors for critical
viewing. The other 1% can afford the expen$ive broadcast LCD
monitors.

Now a pair of 17" LCD monitors would be something ANY video
editing system could make excelent use of, just not for monitoring
video quality.

A separate broadcast monitor is what you would want to use to examine your
edited product, so with that in mind, your LCD monitors are not the the
critical element. You would simply want to get monitors that you find
aqequate for the software you are using.

First I thought, let him get .. no first I thought eh umm, no.. no no, then
I thought 'let him get away with it, he knows what he is doing most of the
time', then I remembered that line that I found in a program source, I will
work it over here a bit:
5 years ago guys where making mpeg1 movies on CD, and these looked really bad,
4 years ago I started using super high quality Divx, and that looked real good,
Anyways, 'most of ' is a very dead end street.
'Most of' TV viewers (especially in US it seems) have no clue how to adjust
color and saturation, brightness, LOTS of TV manufacturers still use AC
coupling for video! (black level changes), even Billy The Gates in media player
(at least in my win98 version) does that wrong.
The right part is that yes CRT is better because of gamma, and contrast perhaps
(in a darkened room).
The reality is they are already reducing investment in CRT plants, in the next
5 years the LCD TV will be the boom.
If they get gamma right is as much an electronic problem as a physical LCD
problem.
In bright sunlight the LCD will win anyways.
So, the REAL professional is very much aware that 625 lines (or less in US)
is 'out, does editing on the PC with a CRT at > 1000 lines, and KNOWS the
result can be played on anything, LCD, CRT, plasma, mirror projection, with or
without rotating color filters, now soon these emission displays (electron beam
based like CRT, but with tiny electrodes as emitters, and ++ other systems will
compete.
And CRT will be gone.
So, to come back to the REAL profies, they are that step ahead of 99%.
And I would watch them very closely, as they are using tomorrows stuff right
now.
