Re: [FCP-L] Broadcast Monitor

I'm not saying you're wrong. I'm offering another alternative. Bang for buck
is pretty amorphous, and "capable of 1080" could also mean different things.
For some people, 1:1 mapping is more important than it is to others.

But have you used the LH2550? If not, then I don't know if you can say the
FSI is better than Panasonic models. Perhaps it's better than some, but not
necessarily all. The LH2550 appeared to be significantly better than the
Panasonic LCDs from two-three years ago.

Anyway, I figure we're all just recommending a list of monitors for Nigel to
view. I don't think he's going to buy blind. But then, if he was blind he'd
probably be satisfied with a much less expensive monitor...
