Re: NTSC Monitor
sony is a good bet.. blue gun button only fires the blue so you can calibrate the monitor. I would also suggest getting one with 16x9 and more importantly a underscan button as you can only see partial picture on the DVX viewfinder.

Re: NTSC Monitor
I have a JVC TM-H1375SU 13" monitor. I am very pleased with it. It can do 16:9, but has no blue check. It does allow you to calibrate it through a special menu though. I use it both with my edit suite and in the field. But for field use, I'd probably go with a 9" next time. Size, weight and a top handle are important.

Re: NTSC Monitor
Yep, 750 lines of resolution. That was one of my criterias when looking for a reference monitor. I keeped flinching when I saw monitors at 350 or 400 lines. I am sure if you shop around, you'll find good deals.
$700
for a Sony PVM 20" monitor is a very good price, but for field use it's way too big :-/. I heard from a Sony reseller that the PVM series (not the BVM) tubes are actually consumer TV tubes. You might want to verify that info, as I'm not sure if it's 100% true.

Re: NTSC Monitor
I have a Sony PVM-8045Q and it is wonderful. I find the 450 lines to be adequate, and even an advantage, if your project will be seen on standard televisions.
It has all the features that Zoom suggests getting.

Re: NTSC Monitor
Hence the need for a good ref monitor on s-video, and a standard TV on composite. Having both extremes really help narrow down lots of problems.
But we're getting side tracked here. ftroop wants a field monitor, and 20", although very attractive size and price wise, is pretty cumbersome. As for the number of TV lines, it really doesn't matter how many there are on a field monitor, regardless if it's a 8", 9" 13", or 20".

What about LCD monitors like Panasonic's TC-7WMS1? How much quality or reliability can you get from them? They are certainly lighter and drain less than a CRT monitor.
