LCD Monitor for Vegas - need one that good color reproduction - ideas?
I have been buying, testing and returning monitors lately. Using this site :LCD monitor test images
I have been experimenting to try and find the best monitor to use with Vegas. Right now I have a CRT and a LCD monitor. The CRT consistently out performs the LCD for contrast, colors and pure black/white. So, is it impossible to find a LCD that will perform like a CRT for use with NLE's? I know that cost is always an issue, but I wonder what other Professionals that use VEGAS are working with when it comes to 20-32 inch LCD's. |

I'm using (2) 24" Gateway FHD2401 monitors and I've been quite pleased with them. For the record though - I'm a semi-professional.

AGN Professional - AGNPRO - Professional LCD Monitors - X-Series
Personally I use a 2405 FPW Dell alongside a JVC CRT broadcast monitor for color. Professional grade LCDs like the ones above cost thousands. |

Not sure if video editing is as critical as photo editing which is more of what I do, but if you want accurate colors you should go with the NEC LCD2460WUXI-SV. If you want a wide gammut which will show most of Adobe 98 color space go with the LCD2690WUXI-SV.

Ya know David, some folks use a television as a preview monitor with Vegas.

thanks for the responses.
What I am going to do is keep the CRT monitor and buy a cheaper large monitor (like 28 inches). I can always use the CRT as a secondary monitor to check colors. Or in the future by a TV (maybe a small one) and use that. |
