Hello all
I am using Vegas pro 8 (upgraded from V6) and have for years been using a little external CRT monitor to view the Vegas timeline etc. The set up is firewire out from video computer going into a JVC DVM700 miniDV/HDD/DVD unit, s-video output to the external monitor The CRT has always worked perfectly with great video images. I wanted to upgrade my monitor to widescreen so I purchased a Samsung 22inch wide screen LCD PC monitor (I do not need a TV) with all the required inputs - composite, s-video, component and HDMI. I am very disappointed to say that the video image coming out via vegas/firewire/JVC into the LCD is dreadful compared with my little old CRT.
Is there any (hidden) adjustments in Vegas to improve the video LCD image and what type of (wide screen) monitor set up do you serious guys use?
Will I be able to view the Vegas timeline if I connect straight from my video card to the monitor?
Before you ask yes the monitor has a perfect picture when I tested a digital set top box to view TV and when my son plugged in his PS3 to play a game. He is hoping that I revert to my old CRT which I may have to...so he can have full use of the 22inch LCD Samsung for his gaming.... (not!!!).
Your help and advice will be much appreciated.
Cheers
