Hey guys,
I'm in the market for a new monitor. I have a few questions I'd like to ask before I buy.
For starters, I've been using two old 19" CRT's and the color on them is still good, but when I playback my projects, the colors are totally off from what they really look like. It's a strange problem, because everything else is fine.
Well, I was looking into buying flat panel and one of my questions is 4:3 or 16:9? Will editing on a 16:9 monitor make my projects seem off, hence making me do adjustments that in fact are not needed? Or is it all the same as if editing on a 4:3 monitor?
Second, how would I go about calibrating a PC monitor for proper colors? I'd like to try to do it on my current setup, but don't know how.
Last, but not least, I'd like to look into dedicated video monitors. What video output card do some of you use to display your videos on a video monitor? I'm not sure what other hardware is needed for this setup so if anyone can fill in the blanks, I'd greatly appreciate that.
