1080p monitor recommedation

I am looking to buy a 20-22" full HD LCD/LED monitor/TV to be driven by my BM Intensity Pro via HDMI.
I recently bought a Flatron 22" LED TV. The only trouble is that, used in monitor mode via HDMI, the secondary colours cannot be adjusted - and the cyan is so far out that it's not useable.
A £1,000 - £2,000 Sony refernce monitor is out of my league. Does any one here have any experience of a half-decent 1920x1080 monitor or LED TV that works adequately as a video preview monitor - and one that that can be adjusted sufficiently to be acceptable (subjective, I know!)
I had my eye on the new sony 22" LED TV until I realised that it was 720p. Shame, because the Sony colour engine is excellent.
Thanks in advance.

If it's not one thing...;-)
Okay, so I now have an HDMI external monitor that works pretty well have with the BM Intensity Pro. Editing XDCAM 1080 50i is a treat but, to my horror...
I had a choice recently of shooting 25p or 50i - and I chose 25p.
Bad, bad idea.
The BM Intensity Pro does not support 25p - the monitor indicated a timing mis-match.
How do people here externally monitor a 25p edit on a 3rd monitor without spending a fortune on grown-up 3rd party cards such as the BM HD Extreme? I know that I can use the 2nd monitor on my Quadro FX 3800, but that entirely defeats the object of a 3rd one.
All suggestions greatly appreciated.

Do I need a true 1080p monitor to monitor HD?

I am looking at replacing my older JVC monitor.
It's 1680x945.
Most of the monitors I see in the 17 to 20inch range are not full 1920x1080 HD.
I would like to get it right- but I do not want to spend money if I don't need to.
I work with EX footage. Corporate, web and events. No broadcast.
How important is a true 1080p monitor?

As my friends above have pointed out, the sweet spot on the JVC is the size of a postage stamp; move a few degrees in any direction and the image takes a trip into the dumper. Even that can be worked with except when you're cheek to jowl with a producer and dp - one of whom had extremely bad breath - looking over a cut for approval. The screen is incredibly reflective so you'll see something from the next county over. Other than these two rather large problems, the imaging of the JVC looks nice.
The Flanders are decent products and I would like to see them in use other than the horrid conditions at NAB, but I wouldn't go overboard with praise for them like some of the grazers do on the Creative Cow. They have a 30 day no questions asked return policy and that gives you a chance to use them which is nice. I really hate their big white logo, if I was to get one I'd have them remove it first.
$3,000 to $4,000? You really want my opinion? Find a good used Sony BVM or Ikegami HTM, something with low hours on the tube or something that has been recently retubed. Those animals are still out there. Maybe by the time it dies all this flat panel bs may have worked itself out.

Displayport Samsung 1080p monitor image problem

Hello all,
I connected a 21.5" Samsung 22C650D 1080p monitor to a 21.5" iMac (model 10,1) running Lion, via Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort cable and the image looks low res. I've gone through the monitor's adjustment menus and the iMacs's display menus and nothing fixes it. Any other Samsung monitor users out there know anything that I may be missing?
Thanks for the input (no pun intended),
Tony

Thank you. That's what i had assumed, since all Mac products are designed to be compatible only with Mac products. I will go ahead and get my 30$ Mac adapter and throw away the 12$ one i got in the mail today.

What QT7 settings do I use to export a 1080p video for playback on iPhone4? I'm using the iPhone to playback 1080p video on 1080p monitor. Is this possible?

Does anyone know what settings I should use to export a 1080p video for playback on iPhone4? I'm hoping to use the iPhone4 to playback 1080p video on 1080p monitor. Is this possible?
I have previously saved my .mov file as Apple TV, but the quality is reduced from 1920x1080 to 960x540. I was unable to sync the higher quality file to my phone (and am worried this is the limitation of the hardware). I added this file to iTunes, added to a playlist, and sync'd to my iPhone. The playback works but the resolution is obviously a lower quality.Is it possible to keep the higher quality for playback through a 1920x1080 hd monitor? Otherwise, would I be able to sync a 1920x1080 mov file to a new iPad or other device? Thanks in advance to your answers.

No. Only the iPhone 4S, iPad3, and TV3 currently support 1080p30 content. Even then the 1080p30 playback support for your monitor may depend on how the device is connected. The iPhone 4 is limited to 720p30 playback.

Not on your current device. As previously stated, the latest generation of iPhone, iPad, and TV devices support a maximum 1080p30 playback capability but may be limited to lower resdolutions depending on your method of connection to your monitor. This information can be found on the Apple web site TechSpecs page for each respective device.

I connected my Macbook Pro 2012 to a 1080p monitor, and the display is cut off at the top?

Hello,
I have just connected my Macbook Pro to a 1080p 23' LG monitor using a Displayport to VGI adapter. However, when I use the 1080p setting, it cuts off a little bit of the top bar. When I switch to lower resolutions, it works just fine. I would rather use it at 1080p, though. Is there a way to fix this?
Thanks,
HiTryx

You may need a display adaptor but can otherwise use a non-Apple monitor.

Adding a non apple 1080p monitor as second display to 2011 iMac 27"

Looking to add a second display to my new iMac but cant afford another thunderbolt screen. What is the best port and then cable to use to connect a non Apple 1080p slave monitor? I assume DVI or HDMI on the slave monitor side but what port on the iMac side? only choices are USB, Firewire, & Thunderbolt. Advice much appreciated!

Thunderbolt is based on DisplayPort technology and a Mini DisplayPort adapter plugs right into the Thunderbolt port. So depending on your monitors connection, you most likely will need a Mini-DVI to HDMI or Mini-DVI to DVI adapter.

Using a macbook retina with a 1080p monitor?

How does a macbook retina look plugged into a 1080p LED LCD monitor? I have two different 22" old LCD monitors and it looks extremely bad when compared to the macbooks retina display. I can afford to upgrade to a 1080p LED LCD but I can't afford the more expensive monitors that match the macbooks resolution.

Are you sure you don't have a Mini Display Port instead of a mini DVI port on your computer? And is your Mini display adapter a mini display > VGA, mini display > DVI, mini display > dual link DVI, ...
I think for higher resolutions you need the dual link DVI adapter.

Macbook air 2011 model to connect to an external 1080p monitor QUESTION

i have the July 2011 Macbook Air 13". I would like to connect it to a 1080p lcd monitor or an hdtv.
Can anyone recommend a decent model? i do not want to spend more than $300 and would prefer either a 27" or 32"
When connected to an external monitor, will i get higher screen resolutions instead of my 1440x900 that i have on my air?

Its going to be tough to get a "decent" model LCD monitor of that size for less than $300. A decent model of that size will START at around $300. That being said, your resolution will depend on what mode you set the monitor at from your Air. If you set the mode as Mirrored, you will only get the 1440X900 on the Air, but if you set it at Extended Desktop, it should fully fill the monitor. Also, you can set the external monitor to be the MAIN monitor with the computer operating with the display closed to get the full screen at 1080, but then you will need an external keyboard and mouse.

I have a 27" Viewsonic 1080p monitor connected to an oldish Mac Pro with an ATI Radeon X1900 XT Graphics card. The problem is that the image does not fill the screen?!?!?

I know the image can fill the monitor, because at start up, the white Apple logo screen fills it up. But once the system starts up, there are bands of black framing the image. I have searched extensively on the internet and found the following clues, none of which solved the problem:
1) In the Windows world you can get software from ATI called Catalyst Converter that gives you the cpaobility to scale the image. This software/feature is not available for Mac users.
2) Viewsonic's web site has a trouble shooting tool. This came up in response to the topic "you have recently upgraded to a larger monitor"
"This could be an issue if you have an older Apple using the system's onboard memory to support both the system and video display. Even if you have enough onboard RAM to support a higher resolution, it will not since the system will use some of the memory. Because the true video RAM available is much smaller than the total onboard amount, the system limits the size of the image. You will need to contact Apple to get an upgrade in onboard RAM or update the complete system."
I have 2GB of RAM, so lack of RAM memory does not seem to be an issue. I am running OS 10.6.8
Does anyone have any clue how to solve this problem. It is frustrating to have a 27" monitor behaving like a 25" monitor.
Thanks in advance for sharing any experience on this.

Question about using HD LCD TV 1080p as external display

When i connect my MacBook to my new Samsung LCD HD TV, it set the screen resolution correctly to 1080p. The picture seems very nice, but when I move some text to the big screen the text is not so clear.
Why not? Am I doing something wrong or can I do something to make the picture (text) nicer?

Screen resolution, in general, is a hard thing to explain to individuals who don't work in graphics manipulation, and for good reason. It seems backwards at times. How is it that a 36" 1080p TV can appear blurrier than a 24" 720p TV? Why is 720p better than 1080i?
As far as using a 1080p display with my computer, I've settled on a 24" Samsung 1080p monitor/tv. I find it's a good balance between pricing, ppi, readability and other factors that one might consider important when looking at external display options.
Frankly, modern computer OS GUIs are not designed to be used on a display that is upwards of 8 or 12 feet away from you, no matter how big it is, or how high its resolution is. They take advantage of high resolution displays so that sitting close to a screen is less taxing on your sight over time. There are alternatives, obviously, like Media Center and Apple's media software, which are designed for using a computer on a television.

Multiple Monitors on New Mac Pro

We cannot get more than 3 monitors operational on either of our new MacPro systems.    We have contacted Tech support and they apparently agree... So we're looking for options.
This is what we need:
Monitor 1:    Connected from HDMI port to HP LP2475w computer monitor
Monitor 2:    Connected from Thunderbolt bus 01 using Thunderbolt to DVI port to HP LP2475w computer monitor
Monitor 3:    Connected from Thunderbolt bus 02 using Thunderbolt to SDI (Black magic mini adapter) to Highend Broadcast color accurate 1080p Monitor
Monitor 4:    Connected from Thunderbolt bus 00 using Thunderbolt to DVI port to WACOM pen tablet
We can successfully connect ANY 3 of the above monitors, up to 3 of them, in various configurations with success. If we try to any a 4th monitor, it simply does not work.
We have tried every concievable selection of post configurations with zero success with any thing more than 3 monitors....
HAs ANYONE successfully gotten more than 3 monitors running on a new MacPro and if so how ?
cheers

Regarding the Bug in 10.9.3:
One of my colleagues (Wjosten) has suggested:
"If you use Internet Recovery to reinstall OS X, it installs the version of OS X that originally came with your computer."
So if this is a deal-breaker, the suggestion is to invoke Recovery_HD and use it to Re-Install [the old version of] Mac OS X over the Internet. Once complete, very selectively search for the individual updates that take you back to the last working version.

Login Window on Wrong Screen in Dual Monitor Setup

I have two monitors attached to my MacBook Pro running OS X 10.10. When I boot up with the lid closed, I see the start up sequence (Apple logo and progress bar) shown on the monitor that is my "primary" monitor of the two monitors. But when boot up is complete and the login window appears, it shows on the secondary monitor, not the primary. My primary monitor is connected via Thunderbolt, and the secondary monitor is attached to the HDMI port on my MacBook Pro. Any ideas how to set the login screen to show up on the primary monitor?

I have exactly this same issue on a Late 2012 Hexacore Mac pro (The last real one LOL)
My primary screen (a 24inch VGA 1080p monitor) shows the Apple boot logo (with progress bar) whilst the secondary display (32inch HDMI 1080p LCD TV) is plain white
then when the initial login box appears that comes up on the 2nd display (Even if it is turned off) meaning I have normally have to turn that screen on, log in then turn it off again
I have also noticed that the screen layout is wrong. Once logged in the 32" display is logically located above the 24" one. However for the login dialog they default to side by side. meaning movingthe mouse up to the TV to log in means going left ot right... Not very good really.
Not enough to make me revert to Mavericks from Yosemite, but still quite annoying.

External monitor compatibility

Does anyone know if the black macbook is compatible with a Full HD 1080p LCD monitor? If so, what adapter do I need to make it work with the macbook

I have used macbooks with a 1080p monitor before. I just use VGA, but DVI should also work

External HDMI Monitor Slows Down Macbook Pro to Unbearable Speeds?

I have my 2011 17" macbook hooked up via a Moshi HDMI adapter to a 24" Acer 1080p monitor... While the image shows properly it makes the computer completely unuseable. I can't play videos and it lags up the machine really bad. I don't get it... i paid $3000+ for this machine and it can't output a smooth HDMI signal without crushing the system? Is this happening to anybody else? Any solutions?

Yeah i was just about to post the Activity monitor before / after results.... here is what happens.. the results are stunning to say the least:
PRE-Thunderbolt-->HDMI Adapter:
CPU:
User - 1.5%
System - 2.5%
Idle - 96%
Memory:
Free : 5.9 gb
AFTER PLUGGING IN THE ADAPTER AND HOOKING UP THE MONITOR
CPU:
ALL CORES JUMP TO 80% +
%USER: 4.25
% SYSTEM: 77.33%
% IDLE : 16.70
Memory remains stable.
THE PROBLEM IS OBVIOUS.
Something is causing the system CPU to become completely innefecient. It takes about 10-30 seconds for this proccess to occur. At first, the CPU remains low, but as soon as any content hits the second screen every core jumps to being 70-80% occupied, and this is JUST with firefox running.
Any help? Could apple store do anything to help me out?

HDMI 2 DVI cable -- can get 1080p...sometimes

I have a Westinghouse LVM42W2 1080p monitor. When I plug Apple TV into the HDMI input, I have an option for 1080p resolution (along with several others), but when I use an HDMI-->DVI cable I just have a choice between 1080i vs 720p.
However, if I first connect the Apple TV to the monitor with the HDMI-->HDMI cable, set the resolution to 1080p then change the cable to HDMI-->DVI, there is a new option for "1920x1080p - 60Hz" selected along with 1080i and 720p. I checked the monitor and Apple TV is broadcasting in 1080p.
Now if I change the resolution to 1080i, the option for 1080p disappears. So I can't really use 1080p with the HDMI-->DVI cable.
Any thoughts?

I wouldn't worry too much about the i (interlaced)/p (progressive) distinction as that indicates the type of scan, the resolution is still 1080. It may be that using an HDMI-->DVI cable throws off the signal sensing either on the ATV or your TV. Ultimately, if the picture quality is good, there's nothing to fret over.
