Re: Status 7/7Q
The plus side is the technology has developed enough that even though the pixels degrade the loss rate is lower and likely not noticeable over the expected lifespan of the monitor.

Re: Status 7/7Q

All phosphor based LEDs go through lumen degradation over time as they...

Re: Status 7/7Q
I've not put a calibrator on there to see hard numbers but the "seat of the pants" color looks to be quite good with the 7q sitting next to my calibrated color correction monitor.

Re: Importing MXF in Avid 7.0.3 (mac)
Try to AMA link them from a folder OUTSIDE the AVIDMEDIAFILES folder and see if you can open them that way.

Re: Anyone using lightscribe dvd's?
Unless there has been some breakthrough in printing speed you won't like it.
The Wiki page for lightscribe indicates that HP has abandoned the technology.

Re: Status 7/7Q
That was my understanding as well. Till then it will just be a very expensive monitor for me. If I had understood that DNxHD was not in the initial release I would have waited to purchase the 7q.

Re: Status 7/7Q
Mine doesn't show any signs of tearing at the top of the screen David. You may want to arrange for a check out with CD. It may be something beyond a firmware issue.
