[Avid-L2] Re: Editing on the Run?

Will do, Rupert. Very kind of you and Root6 to come to the aid of traveling editor.

I'm fairly brand agnostic for a monitor, just looking for 1080x1920 with decent color.

We shot our feature with some old but well preserved anamorphic lenses (LOMO) adapted to DSLRs. It's been important for us to see the de-squeezed images on a good-sized monitor (20" to 27").

Thanks again. Will give you a ring when I get settled in Covent Garden!
