The Need:
The broadcast video and cinema production and post-production businesses have
historically used high-end CRT monitors to view the work in progress as part
of the editing process. Now however, there is an increasing use of LCD and
other technology monitors to replace CRTs in this application. This is due, in
part, to the fact that high-end CRTs are no longer in production and
substitutes must be found before the existing stock is exhausted. LCD monitors
have different electronic and visual properties than CRTs, so it is necessary
to understand the technology before making the transition.
Report Objective:
The objective of this report is to supply monitor manufacturers, equipment
distributors video and film production and post-production houses and
independent video content creators with the information needed in the switch
from CRT to LCD monitors. In addition to a discussion of the existing CRT and
LCD technology, the report will cover other technologies that may play a role
in the future. Representative products from all major manufacturers intended
for all niches within the professional monitor market are discussed.
