The lifespan of the OLED panel does concern me. Probably three years in a typical post environment. As for the degrading of the panel, it is supposed to self calibrate to compensate. At least the BVM does, I would hope the PVM does also.

Off axis viewing is pretty good - we have ours sitting at the side of the Avid monitors but i reckon you'd get away with placing them above with a slight downwards tilt, viewing angles are actually quite wide, easily wide enough unless you have a really avant garde interpretation of where you should place your monitors. Can't comment on the calibration tools but for non-critical reference monitors I like them quite a bit. HTH

More specifically, if your Avid monitors were 24" and were mounted very low to your working surface (say, only 3" inches above) -- and the JVC was sitting directly above your Avid monitors -- would you consider the JVC's performance to be compromised by being slightly higher than eye level? Would you feel it was necessary to "aim" the JVC at a slightly downward angle in order to achieve an on-axis orientation? Or would you prefer to put the JVC at the same elevation as your Avid monitors -- just off to the side?

If you want to donate to Red Cross quake relief, you can do so through your cell phone. Text redcross to 90999 to make a $10 donation. It will be on your next cell bill.
