Kevin Kisling Posted April 15, 2019 Report Share Posted April 15, 2019 Hello all! After listening to "Walking Backwards", I've noticed they talk about green screen monitors quite a bit. I'd love to learn more about them, the pros and cons vs LCD, if people still use them, etc... I realize this is probably a very old topic. I've been running into glare quite a bit on my LCD. Thanks in advance!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brennan Maxwell Posted April 16, 2019 Report Share Posted April 16, 2019 I've flown one before. I also own one that is broken. :( I liked it so much more than an HD monitor. I don't really care about color or anything. I just want to be able to see outside. There's no HD monitor I've seen yet that's even close to a green monitor. Unfortunately they're going the way of the buffalo. If your rig is set up for HD you're already beyond the technology unless you reverse engineer and get a downconverter to standard def. But a couple of top tier ops I know still fly the green monitor. I think at this point, people might kind of look at you weird if you were a young guy showing up to set with something that old though. It's a weird trade off.

Moderators Alec Jarnagin SOC Posted April 16, 2019 Moderators Report Share Posted April 16, 2019 The TB-6 (made by XCS) was and is the best of the best green screens (IMHO, but most would agree... GPI PRO had a great one too). Took me years before I gave mine up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
