Experience with TVLogic HD multiformat LCD monitors for professional video work
19 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.
What the thread found
- TVLogic monitors offer good color quality and built-in features like waveform, vectorscope, and tally light at a lower price point than competing brands.
- TVLogic monitors perform poorly outdoors in direct sunlight due to low brightness and high screen reflectivity that acts like a mirror.
- Anti-glare film and a custom sunhood can mitigate outdoor reflectivity issues with TVLogic monitors and make them reasonably usable outside.
- Waveform and vectorscope functions on TVLogic monitors only work with HD video, not with SD quality sources.
- TVLogic monitors are well-suited for stationary editing and monitoring applications when connected to computers.
- The TVLogic LVM-071W features multiple input options including HD/SDI and analog, built-in frame line generator, waveform, vectorscope, tally, battery attachment, and 12V power.
- Manufacturers were developing improved versions of TVLogic monitors with higher backlight brightness and anti-reflective LCD covers to address outdoor visibility limitations.
- Transvideo monitors offer superior outdoor brightness and additional features like horizon leveling compared to TVLogic models at a significantly higher price.
Depends on
- Most observations are from 2007 and refer to older monitor models.
- Contrast ratio and brightness specifications were not definitively established in the discussion.
- Improvements mentioned such as enhanced backlighting and anti-reflective covers were still in development and may not reflect final released products.
- No comprehensive comparison testing between TVLogic and competing brands was completed in this thread.
