Hello guys!

I looking around for a Production Monitor and i wonder what do u use? i know about fsi monitors, and its seems like that they are really good, but its kind of out of my budget.... and here in europe it coast even more... So i wonder what else is out there?

i d like to use it and for color correction and as field/director monitor on projects! would like it to be a 10 bit , with SDI (would not mind against extra HDMI port as well).....

Gladly will wait for your suggestion, but here is what i found my self:
ViewZ VZ-240PM-PL - looks like a hell of a monitor and seems like price is not that bad : 2100$ according to bh
http://www.viewzusa.com/broadcast/vz240pmpl.html

so if anyone had a chance to use it, or other models from that brand, or just knows some info about it, plz share it!

Regards

plz explain how it will work?

you reminded me about another 2 problems i have:

1. 10bit card, or other solution that will allows me to send 10 bit from my PC to the monitor. in fact i need TWO 10 bit outputs: 1 for my future 10bit Production Monitor, and 1 for my future 10bit "consumer" monitor

2. i am gonna need a one more 10bit "consumer" PC monitor, my current monitor is very old , not even full HD (HP w2207h) cant wait to give it to charity! would be great to hear your suggestions about it as well.
as i understand HP DreamColor 2480zx - is a good value for pc monitor , but if u think there are better ideas , plz let me know!

my current pc: I7 4930k, 32GB ram, Win7 pro 64bit, Adobe CS6 Production Premium (will learn to use davinci in future) , GTX 780 Ti 3gb

Your graphic card does not output 10bit signal, you will either need Quadro card or dedicated monitor card from AJA or BMD.
 
i went over many brands and models , and read lots of info, and came to the conclusion that HP Z27x is Best of what consumer monitors can offer! So i ordered it!
in fact i have made my final design after reading that blog:
http://provideocoalition.com/atepper/story/hp-revitalizes-dreamcolor-universe-with-2-new-models

seems like it can be a good one!

but now my next question: i need a 10 bit out. from what i understand in order to get 10 bit on consumer monitor - i should use DP (display port), not HDMI..... so what could output 10 bit over DP?

i found that pci card , i wonder if it will work?

HP Thunderbolt-2 PCIe 1-Port I/O Card
