I have a Mac Pro and Premiere Pro 5.5 and a Nvidia Quadro 4000. I recently replaced my secondary monitor with a highly rated (for accurate color) 24" monitor with DVI, Displayport, and HDMI inputs. This isn't a Flanders or a Dreamcolor, so I'm not expecting the world.
I have heard that the monitoring in Premiere Pro, because it has good YUV to RGB conversion, is very good at representing true color and would be a good judge on a good calibrated monitor.
I have searched a bit about this. And it somes that most say that the only good way to have any good reference is to use a special card that outputs in proper color space, and a monitor that accepts it and is calibrated, usually a TV like monitor, not a computer monitor.
So I'm wondering if anybody is using or wouild recommend their second computer display for accurate monitoring? (such as for basic color correction.)
Thanks much.
If it was an S-IPS model, and capable of accurate calibration (many TN computer monitors aren't), then it should be fine.
