We’re looking to replace our aging monitors with LCDs, any suggestions? Ideally I’m looking for ones that will run on an Onyx2 as well as a linux box.
Paul
Check out the new 24″ LCD that is being shipped with the new systems. Our new Linux came with one and I really like it.
I heard that new linux boxes have Sony lcd monitors. Is it correct? And do they have an analog RGB input, for connecting the onyx2 or octane2? Do those monitors scan at 50Hz, and 72Hz? Many lcd monitors only accept 60Hz.
Hi Paul.
I was at XTFX the other day and they have the eizo montiprs with the new autodeesk systems. Very nice, but pretty expensive. We are buying them here for dev work, they really are good.

Tell you about them in the Raglan sometime over a pint of Gouchers.
Cheers
MichaelVoodoo, what is it? I need it to work with our Onyx2’s as well, also as we are are a film house a 72 HZ refresh rate would be preferable.
On the back of my monitor the model number is SDM-P234 and has 5 cables coming from it all hooked up through bnc’s R,G,B,B,W cables. Here are a couple on EBAY check them out and see if these are worth it.
Crap sorry about the huge link, ill remove it after you look at it.
Stay away from the Phillips ones. They get green blobs appearing around the edges. My old facility went through four in two years.
But i just asked one of the other flame guys there and he says they just got an Eizo coloredge ce240 and he claims it is the best LCD he has ever seen. 180 degree viewing angle and they guarantee color calibration.
He aked me to say hi by the way Paul (it’s Mike Parsons).
Hi Michael, are you sure it’s the S2411W and not the CE240W?
Paul
This isn’t Mike 🙂 Mike is who i was talking to. Its late at night there though.
Ill ask him tomorrow and let you know.
Sorry J, I was replying to Lanky, but say hi to Mike for me.
Paul
No worries 😉
Anybody know if the apple cinema displays would work?
Paul
apparently they don’t work with all necessary frequencies.
Apple Cinema works only with 60HZ, and also have NO adjustments you can make… just brightness. I have 2 and really don’t consider them good monitors, not for a real video professional application.

Same with someone standing behind you, seriously one sweet spot dead center.
