LCD Monitor Suggestion for Editing
Hi everyone,
I'd like some suggestions on an LCD monitor that I can look into getting soon for my workstation setup. I definitely need to learn on color correcting, which in some cases a 3rd monitor is needed. For my setup I will be doing a dual monitor setup, since they will serve as the video editing workstation and DAW (learning and doing music composition). I could go up to $500 each for the monitors and have those before I work on the computer components for the actual workstation build. I will try to do some more searches on the topic but with this being 2012, LCD monitors models change quite often. Looking at possibly 23-24" screen size. |
Get an 8-bit IPS/S-IPS LCD from ViewSonic. Both are 23" size for about $300-350 shipped.
The WB model is best for photo. The LED model is best for video. And you're in luck. Several posts have been made about high-quality LCD monitors in recent months:
Don't get the cheaper/inferior 6-bit LG or Dell brand IPS LCDs. The HP monitors are nice but overpriced. The candela (brightness) is a bit over the top, too. |

I think the VP2365-LED would be your best bet. :)
Do yourself a favor and just buy it from Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...SIN=B0053YKE72 Currently $315 + free shiping + no tax to most states. A lot of other places online claim to have it, sometimes for $10-20 cheaper, but nobody actually has it in stock (even if their site claims otherwise). You'll get called or emailed days after ordering, and by that time the limited off-and-on stock from Amazon may be gone. Don't get caught in that hellish cycle. Just go directly for the reliable merchant. Learn from my mistakes! |

Definitely don't have time for hassles from unreliable resellers so gotta get it right the first time. :) |
