For the price, I don't think it can be beat. I have 4 of them at the college I work for and have been very happy with them. They're 2 years old know and look as good as they day I put them in.
I know a few folks here (such as Grazie) bought one on my recommendation and they've been pleased with them.
John (aka craftech) had a problem earlier this year with a brand new one but a qucik trip to JVC service fixed him up.

Thanks, Mike, and thanks for sharing that previous thread, too. The JVC TMH-150CGU sounds like the way to go.

JVC TMH-150C here . . one of the BEST purchases I ever made!

Jay? IF you can find one, buy it!! My Canon XM2 footage looks great on it.

You're welcome Jay. I'm sure it'll work out just fine as a replacement.
Ignore Grazie's "rantings" about it though as he forgot to mention that Vegas was one of the BEST purchases he ever made :-)

Holy cow...! If it comes with the Official Grazie Seal of Approval, then it has to be good!

Actually, I did find one at B&H Photo in New York. Unfortunately, they charge twice what everyone else does for shipping, so I'm scouring the Internet for another retailer.

Always felt it was a cheap shot trying to make money on shipping.

Thanks for the link, David, but unfortunately they charge Florida sales tax. I genuinely appreciate your efforts!

Jay,
I really like this monitor. It is so easy to color correct with it.
As mentioned I did get a unit that wasn't properly calibrated so I dropped it off at the JVC authorized Northeast service center in Pine Brook, New Jersey. They not only calibrated it properly, but they kept it until the following Monday because they wanted a field rep to check it just to make sure.

I bought it from a dealer I have done business with before:

G&G Technologies in Secaucus, New Jersey.

I picked it up, but their shipping is reasonable and you don't pay tax unless you live in New Jersey.

I did say ONE of the best purchase decisions - for it then showed me just HOW good Vegas is! 8-)

Jay, just enthusiasm on my side . .


Oh, BTW, terrestrial TV looks good on it too!!! I have setup my Mission Control system allowing the BBC to come on screen. Purely when I'm R&R - of course!

I don't want to change the topic too much, but does anyone have any knowledge on monitors with HD-SDI inputs? And for that matter, PCI cards with HD-SCI in/out ports.

Just trying to figure out the best way to preview HD images from the Canon XH G1.

To get the proper replies to your question you should post it as a new thread.

Many thanks to those who replied!

No problems Grazie. This forum would be a very quiet place without your "comments". Keep 'em coming :-)

...my Mission Control system...
When do we get to see a picture it?

CRT monitors with HD SDI in will cost you more than the XL H1, let alone the XH G1.
