Good choice Grazie. I just ordered 4 of them for our student edit suites (and the 9" field monitor as well.
To CourseDesign, they were $675 (CDN) each. The best my Sony rep could do was $1800 each :-(
Even if they only last 1/2 as long as the Sonys, I'm still further ahead.
Thanks Mike. You are really underlining my buying decision. I agree, if this monitor should last 5 to 10 years - no reason why they shouldn't - I will be very very far ahead AND be able to purchase other equip .. . 9" field OR that matte box I'm pining and lusting after! HAHAHA!
I really can't wait to get my system connected to this puppy . . ..
What, Coursedesign, you DON'T have enough money left after your Sony purchases for such necessities as " . . wine, women and song!" - you poor lad . . life isn't always about buying equipment . . . sometimes it IS about using it! ;-)
I do have 2x17" Samsung flatties setup for dual Vegas Editing; a tiny TV line/signal monitor; a cheapo 15" TV monitor for final "proofing" that the thing plays as it would on any plain old TV and a 15" Hantarex, which is going to be superseded by this JVC. It is the desire to have a really gorgeous Vegas Previewing monitor that has set me off on this most recent odyssey.
Shame on you Grazie :-)
You're looking all round for a place to post your edit suite pics and you completely overlooked the DMN forum. There was a thread just a short time back asking for edit suite pictures too. Now go do it so we can all see the "Monsta" :-)
