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.

Highlights:

• Information on the types of applications filled by "Broadcast" monitors.
• Critical review of the EBU standard "User requirements for Video Monitors in Television Production".
• Key display characteristics required for the different classes of broadcast monitors.
• Pros and cons of all current and proposed monitor technologies, including CRT, LCD with CCFL back lights, LCD with LED backlights and other technologies.
• Overview of the class 1, class 2 and class 3 monitor offerings from all major broadcast monitor vendors.
• Discussion of the sales of non-broadcast monitors into the "Broadcast Monitor" market space.
• Review of available information on the size of the professional broadcast monitor market and a discussion on the sparseness of the existing data.
