On set monitor?

[Jarek Zabczynski]

Looking at an on set monitor. Something for use as a client/director monitor or for wireless FF assist.

Looking at these:

Panasonic - BT-L2150PJ - 21.5" LCD production monitor (LED BACKLIT) - ($1,500.00)

JVC - 21-INCH MULTI-FORMAT LCD MONITOR (LED BACKLIT) - DT-E21L4U - ($2,400.00)

JVC - 17-INCH MULTI-FORMAT LCD MONITOR (LED BACKLIT) DT-E17L4G - ($2,100.00)

Panasonic looks nice. All are LED backlit and I've always like Panny gear. Though the JVCs state they are 10bit, doesn't say what the Panny is.
Price is right for the Panny, would love to stay under 2k.

Also looking at the Flanders...

24" JVC Looks ok too.

Any thoughts? If I go with a larger display it would double as a monitor for editing.

I've considered the Smartview, but the quality isn't there if I wanted to put it in an edit bay.

I just got this one http://www.shopfsi.com/FSI-10bit-17-Inch-Native-HD-Broadcast-Monitor-p/cm-170w.htm

If you really want an on set monitor and the ability to do a true color correction, this is an amazing monitor with FSIs color fidelity engine, and something like 1.07billion colors! I consider it an investment that if rented 20x is paid for.. Or get the 24" with the color fidelity engine. ($5gs)

OLED is better technology. Very good image outdoors. You can run this one off your bricks with an inexpensive V-mount to 4 pin converter.

Nice monitor, but heavy and still not up to par color wise with FSI

TV LOGIC are worth a look...

I'm digging the Flanders... like it a lot better than the Panasonic I had.

Yeah me too.

Pretty much narrowing it down to these...

Not looking for a grading monitor, just for editing and taking on set for live view and playback.

I have the same flanders as Justin, I love it. Beats the hell out of my previous panasonic. No more green cast and it's a lot lighter.
Get the stand adapter and soft case that they make for it.

Just hooked up a 40" TCL L40FHDM12 via HDMI to an Epic. It works. It works so well, I will use this as director's monitor for auditions or any studio work. A bit heavy and cumbersome for the field.

EDIT: Failed to mention the HDMI cable length was 15'

I can vouch for the Flanders. I recently purchased this one a couple months ago to use in my suite and on set.

I love the case and the monitor. Every person that's seen it on set while I'm color correcting has said something along the lines of "Damn... that looks so good" :yikes:

I've used the JVC monitor and was not impressed. Neither was the director. He asked for the smaller 17" Panasonic monitor we were using for the client monitor. I'd go for the Flanders personally. Good luck.
