monitors properly. Also, they weren't all in the same room, so it took
a good deal of visual memory to compare, and mine may have been
impaired by too much Guinness.
I liked the Cinetal, but others didn't. I thought it had the richest
blacks. Some felt that despite their claim of 10bit, it was really
8bit. The colors between all of the monitors except the Flanders
matched pretty well, which was a testament to the engineers who came
in to set up the monitors.
It was also interesting to see how much better ALL of the monitors
looked when playing the demo-reel that Sony brought instead of the
much more challenging reel of footage that Terry created and fed to
all of the monitors for most of the night.
I have to say that Editors' Lounge definitely does these events right.
Terry had proper D65 lighting and even put up massive amounts of grey
paper on the walls behind the monitors. What a lot of work. Great job
Terry.
(Disclaimer: Cinetal sponsored my latest training DVD on Apple Color,
but I tried to be impartial.)
