Musings of an NLE ronin…- About
FLANDERS SCIENTIFIC 1760W IN HOUSE
Jun 26
OK, if you haven’t heard me talking about the Flanders Scientific monitors on the forums (mainly The Creative Cow), then let me mention here and now that I like these monitors. I did mention this before in my NAB WRAPUP for 2009, but not much.
I have the 1760W in my bay for a few weeks. I quickly swapped out the HD CRT (PVM-14L5) that I am using and put this in it’s place. The PVM replaced the utterly horrid LMD 2450W that was sitting there. I am using the PVM because I have to, but I am getting tired of the small 14″ monitor. When I first saw the Flanders I was blown away…GREAT color reproduction. Best monitor in it’s class…the sub $8000 market. Better than the JVCs, slightly better than the Panasonic 1760.
ANYWAY, I am not going to go into tons of detail because I am not an engineer. I just know that this monitor shows me a more accurate representation of the footage than most I have seen in it’s class. I wanted to say that if you are in the LA area and wanted to come and see it for yourself, please let me know. FSI doesn’t work through dealers, so there are no floor models on display anywhere. The FSI guys tend to fly around and show them off in person. The head guy Dan was just leaving LA for a few weeks, so instead of throwing the monitor into a storage locker, he lent it to me. So if you are interested, and local, either e-mail me at comeback@mac.com, or leave your e-mail in the comments.
Thank you.

Can you talk a little about the built-in waveform/vectorscope? Can you use the scopes for HD color correction?
Well, they are pretty small. I think they are mainly meant for use as a location monitor, to get you close. If you are over 100IRE or below 0, the signal show up as RED, while everything else is green. I don't think I'd use this instead of scopes…as really trustworthy hardware scopes. But then again, I rely on the COLOR and FCP scopes…but always am very convervative with my adjustments.
Awww man that's a little disappointing. I was hoping for a too-good-to-be-true bargain on quality monitor + HD scope combination.
I have a Flanders 2450, and love it. Like Shane, I can see far more detail in the picture than anything else I've seen in its class (or even in the ballpark).
Also, Dan came by my house for a little one-on-one training. Can't be that.
P.S. If anyone's thinking of the 2430 model, I would highly recommend stretching a little for the 2450. The 2430 is solid, but the viewing angle is a bit narrow, and the brighter areas of the picture didn't display quite as much detail as they might have. Flanders is very upfront about this. But the 2450….ah, it's dead-on, with rich blacks, and the viewing angle leaves no guess work.
