I am testing on the dell 24 inch monitor cine-d vs cine-v and I am very torn between the too.

cine-d
- great range
- more noise
- more milky blacks
- overall more filmic image

cine-v
- high contrast
- less noise
- great blacks

I am thinking cine-d is better for a comedy (what we are prepping for) - but will we be painting ourselves into a corner with the noise and blacks?

Anyone else agonizing over this decision?

Finally, anyone think you can mix gamma setting in one film if they are split on different types of scenes?
 
Get Shooting Digital at DVfilm.com. I bought and it got to me thursday. It's incredible, and it gives you the perfect settings. But just to tell you, it's best to do minimum settings. Don't try to pump much color into the shot while shooting. Leave that for post CC work. That way you have more options. If you make your shots rich in color from the camera, then your stuck with it. I know you can go to DVfilm.com right now and i do think they have the scene settings laid out for the DVX. These are supposed to be the best settings for film work, and then film transfer if you plan to go that route later.
 
V shows less noise then D.. but I like D's range better.. so i usually shoot with D. The whole noise thing really went out the window once i compared it to the DVX and realized the noise was the same.

Has anyone shot in D, and just changed the master ped to adjust noise to taste?
I haven't actually done this, but was playing with that setting last night, which seemed to help more than anything else.
 
you know - i have been testing today and it seems that cine-d actually has less APPARANT noise then v- in V there is such high contrast that the noise is accentuated. But in d - even if there is more noise it is smoothed over the wider latitude. At least to my eye.

I would go so far as to say d appears less noisy then v
