Premium Members David Shawl SOC Posted April 18, 2008 Premium Members Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 Hey Rob, I'm not sure if you meant this OLED monitor or not. The image looked very alive, especially during camera movement. More organic than a digital image. There was a little bit of interference (faint rolling lines) in the monitor and of course the Sony rep manning that area wasn't sure why.

Premium Members Daniel Stilling DFF Posted April 18, 2008 Premium Members Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 I saw the Transvideo monitor there. They have a 6" and 8" versions ( Maybe 6.5 not sure) of their new HD monitor. It is really impressive. They have the studio version (for color accuracy) and the super bright version, and you can add all sorts of goodies, like built in frame lines and digital level as software upgrades. It accepts HD SDI and regular NTSC inputs, so it is tailored for our application. And again, Marianne was extremely patient in showing me all the ins and outs and goodies of the monitor. Looks like a perfect Steadicam monitor to me... Daniel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I'm going to hold out for awhile, it is only for reference and it seems the next 18 months are going to bring a few new options in lcd and oled monitors. And hopefully we get something in the $6k range. hd monitor, hd transmitter & receiver and monitors all new things to save for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Alec Jarnagin SOC Posted April 19, 2008 Moderators Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 Jon, Regarding the Boland monitor, Charles Papert wrote: "I stopped by Boland and inquired about that monitor and was told "no, we don't have it to show". My long face then prompted "you must be a Steadicam operator!" They are indeed onto us. What I was then told was that at current, the electronics are requiring a box as big as the existing 8" monitor (but with smaller screen), so it's impractical. Once they can figure out how to miniaturize things enough to make a scaled-down housing, they can show the monitor." He then went on to talk about the WEVI transmitter which is why I moved that post elsewhere. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
