[QuadList] True colors

[C. Park Seward]

In all the mobile TV units that I use for ABC and ESPN, we have CRTs back in video. All the other monitors are LCD. Currently, it is only on a CRT that yo can see a true black level as well as a perfect match between screens. I use a few HD CRT Ikegami monitors I got for a very good price at an auction.

I saw the new Sony monitor at the NAB that looked promising. It uses OLED technology.Their previous LED TRIMASTER monitors were not satisfactory, IMHO.

I know that Universal is using Panasonic plasma monitors for color correction. That can be adjusted to a standard and will match and track.

Inexpensive computer LED monitors aren't the best choice for evaluation. Yes, you can use LUTs to get different looks but tracking will always be a problem as well as black level display.

Best,
Park

The problem is that the colors look different in every monitor even in PAL video. Is there some sort of a color card or some method for me to correct the colors on the screens so that they "true" as much as possible? I can display several test patterns from my generator.
