They now also have some lower cost monitors without the waveform/vector and
cc decode.

Subject: [Avid-L2] Re: Lower End Reference Monitors
Thanks everyone for all of your comments. This has been very informative for
me and I appreciate the input.
The JVC seems like it would suffice -- although obviously not optimum. At
the same time, it's kind of hard to complain about a monitor at that price
point.
Regarding OLED -- the shared concern regarding lifespan is not
insignificant. Three years doesn't seem like a lot of time to amortize a
piece of gear -- especially when there's always the risk that it might not
even last THAT long.
Of bigger concern for me, however, is not wanting to become a "calibration
monkey". Been there -- done that.
I could be mistaken, but I have not read anything about the PVM self-
calibrating -- and Sony's (admittedly) scarce information on the topic does
not seem to suggest any "built-in" provision that addresses that
requirement.
This may very well be one of the features de-contented from the BVM line --
but I guess we'll have to wait to find out. However, if calibration is not
built-in -- it would appear that this monitor might require a whole lot of
hand-holding over it's projected 3 year life span. That wouldn't be a party
I'd want to invite myself to.
