Best monitor for animation

Hi, I'm working on a big animation project.  I'll do all of the concept art to real animation, but I need a new monitor.  My budget is about $ 350.  At the moment I intend to buy the Samsung LS27A350HS.  I want a monitor 27 "for this kind of work, and I was told that it was the best for the price range.  What are your thoughts?  Is there a best instructor that I should look at?  I found a used Dell 2707wfp for $400, but I don't like the idea of not having a warranty.

WARNING: Don't read this if you do not want a brutal honesty.

Any monitor 27 "under 400 dollars is going to be the cheapest Chinese garbage at a low price on the market.  There is nothing wrong with the help of monitors cheap trash if things like the color accuracy, definition and calibration are not important for your work.  If you come to use your monitor for computer stuff and separated from output of your actual design work, that's fine.  But we must realize that, in this price range, your monitor never really represent any kind of calibrated, accurate picture.

A lot of people on this forum use monitors that cost thousands of dollars, so don't expect to a monitor expensive to provide you with ALL the features that professionals consider important. You're shopping in the price range is low for someone who uses Word, so don't expect spectacular results for what it is so involved in animation by computer. If you work for broadcast, your price range simply don't buy you a proper monitor.

Here are some tips I knew low range screens:

Shiny screens are terrible, unless you are working in total darkness.  Make sure that you get a low gloss/Matt screen.  Don't be fooled by the impressive contrast of a glossy screen.

LED monitors in your price range are not the height.  The colors are too intense, and we often see the image shift. Get a LCD display.

Reference Dell are pretty good for the price monitors.  I use Dell monitors for the screens of my work, and I view my actual output of the much more expensive screens.

    I'm working on a project that requires multiple animations that will be projected on a giant screen outside.  Animate edge seems very easy to use, but it looks that it exported only to HTML?  Do I have reason to assume that the Flash is probably the best choice for creating and then making my changes in first?

  • Best monitor for graphics

    Would love to hear what everyone uses for graphic design with printing/editing in mind. I am new looking for monitors.

    Unfortunately, it is a very subjective topic. It also gets stale quickly too, as the new monitors are always happen. You can search the Internet for information on computer screens video editors want to use especially. Here are some examples for beginning 2013:

    Many publishers as the HP Dreamcolor, here is an article that describes how to set up.

    Many video editors pro uses a second 'critical color' broadcast monitor for classification and putting in place the best broadcast signal. Why?

    • A computer screen won't show interlacing.
    • A computer screen cannot be properly calibrated for the broadcast.
    • A computer monitor may not show an accurate representation of the framerate (for example to change a sequence of 24 p while controlling 29.97).
    • Without a monitor, you can not accurately gauge quality (for the scaling, etc.).

    If that's what you're looking for, check out these sites:

  • The best monitor for Photo editing?

    I'm about to invest new 24' monitor but still can't decide what monitor should I expect. Can anyone recommend that won't break the Bank? I am a freelance photographer and most of my work more portrait and wedding and I only do it for part time. Here is my list of shooting

    1. Reference Dell U2412M
    2. HP ZR2440w
    3. ASUS PA248Q
    4. Dell U2410

    I guess that the OP refers to the use of range wide screen with LR, if relevant.

    If you print to a printer range inkjet (6 or more inks) that from a wide range will be useful. It will not provide a color accuracy much better than a gamut sRGB for web, screen and printing to standard printers of 4 CMYK inks. With the LR4 test function, you can get a rendering to the very accurate display of what the final output will look like using the target printer and paper profile.

    Range wide display will not render color correctly with most web browsers and other applications run without colors. For this reason, I also suggest using a dual display configuration with a standard screen of the sRGB gamut and a screen wide gamut.

    Also be aware that 10 bits/color will give the best rendering gradients very well on wide gamut displays, but LR currently supported only the outputs on 8-bit display / color. Only PS CS4 - CS6 support 10bits color output display. You must also use a graphics card which supports 10/bit color and compatible with PS.

    If you don't fully understand the differences between a range and gamut standard (sRGB) screen I suggest doing some research. Also search in this forum and the Web for customers on the screens you are considering. There has been many problems with calibration some views of wide range of model.

  • Best laptop and monitor for the post-processing digital image

    Hi all

    I'm looking for advice on my best options for a new Dell laptop and the monitor.

    Main use will be post processing of digital images using DxO 10 and Photoshop CS5.  Other I will use Word, Excel and internet access (for my WordPress web site and blog, the video/TV streaming and others).

    Preliminary research suggests one of the Ultrasharp monitors is probably what I need.  I presume that would be connected via a docking station.  I'm also running backup on an external hard drive.

    Most gifted in computer of friends tell me that my new laptop would have better I7 CPU, the more powerful video card stand-alone capable of handling the laptop sufficiently fast RAM, minimum USB3 ports and a HDMI connection.

    I live in Australia and, of course, need suggestions for templates available there.  My budget is of roughly$ 2,500, but I could go a little higher if there is a compelling reason to do so.  While I do not have a lot of use of computing I am not very computer technical, where my request for advice.

    concerning

    Donny

    Hi Donny54,

    All Ultrasharp monitors works well for you. You will need to make sure that the laptop has a port for an external monitor or a docking station.

    You should probably review the XPS laptops.

  • You can use old iMac as a monitor for mini Mac

    You can use 2008 iMac as a monitor for mini Mac?

    No, because the iMac of 2008 not display entered or supported to do so.

    See > use your iMac as a display with the target - Apple Support Display Mode

    You can use a connection network and something like ScreenRecycler

    However, the best bet is to use a regular external monitor with the Mac Mini.

  • What is the best workflow for longer projects with music?

    Hello. I'm just getting into after effects and WOW, I soak every tutorial I can. That being said, I wonder what's the best practice for working with longer projects. Let me give you a scenario.

    So, I have my HAND COMP with piece of music in 3 minutes I sync up to my animations.

    I create ANIMATION COMP 1 and drop it in the HAND COMP.

    So let's say that I want to adjust something in ANIMATION COMP 1.

    I switch back to ANIMATION COMP 1 window to make my adjustments.

    Problem: Bed of music is in comp 1 so I can't listen to music and make adjustments accordingly.

    The obvious solution is to simply create everything on 1 composition. But is there a way to make the MAIN COMP room if you change a secondary layout?

    Thank you

    The only sensible thing to do for a few minutes longer project to edit in Premiere Pro and make the moves you must treat as individual comps in After Effects. Comps are for the creation of pictures and short clips. Try to put 80 or 100 cups in a single cimp is not only difficult to treat, but finding the flow with the music of changes are almost impossible.

    If you want to get a real specific on all your production must begin before a single frame is shot. Shot a bunch of stuff and try to build something later are a very very bad idea unless there is no other choice. I did a lot of musical projects him more than 45 years in the business and even if you can't draw, just block storyboards will save you a lot of time.

    I hope this helps. If you remember that make you plans in an EA and you had it first and you mix sound in addition, you will be in good shape.

  • After Effects vs Flash for Animation

    Hello!  I was wondering if someone could tell me what is the best for animation - After Effects or Flash?  The advantages and disadvantages of each, or something along thoes lines.  I looked at other threads, but they were rather dated (or simply unnecessary, list without reasons).  If it is useful to know, I would never do web animation and I'm already pretty familiar with After Effects in the motion graphics and Visual effects.  I also wonder which is more commonly used in the industry, and who would benefit me more in the future (job opprotunities, MICR).  Thank you in advance.

    Rick is correct. I used Flash and AE for the animation of the years and he is really not what you're trying to reach. Flash has advantages in my opinion you can put more assets on a layer in Flash where each asset requires a new layer in After Effects.

    If you do not use Flash, do NOT use video clips, use of graphics but it's 'old school', but when you export the result you can then import the swf file in After Effects and have the best of both worlds.

    I hope this helps!

  • I want to get caught in charge double external monitor for my MBP with Win7 on Fusion, what should I buy?

    Forgive me if this is clear somewhere in the communities.  I have indeed searched it in addition to Google and I can't find a clear answer.

    I have a 15 "MacBook Pro (aluminum Unibody 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo w / 4 GB RAM with backlit keyboard black) running VMware Fusion 3.1 and Windows 7 x 64 as a guest in Unity Mode operating system.  I have two screens beautiful external LCD on my desk.  I want to be able to run both of them with this software/hardware configuration.  To do this, I bought a USB to DVI DisplayLink solution by Diamond (as the MBP had only a single mini-DisplayPort port) in order to be able to control the 2nd external monitor.

    I noticed that when I added the USB to DVI for mixing with the latest DisplayLink drivers (it is the time where I was running VMware Fusion 3.0), it works, but not very reliable and it would break my Win7 x 64 VM or cause other weird problems too much.  I have had no other problems with this configuration in addition to VMware fusion.  As long as I wasn't trying to run a virtual machine with the merger, the USB to DVI external worked very well.   However, given the choice to have a 2nd external monitor or VM support, I had no other choice than to loop and choose VMware on the adapter.  Well, I took it on the mixture so I went back to the adapter.

    I got the notice that VMware Fusion 3.1 is available with tons of bugs and it whet my appetite again for the glory of two external monitors, so I upgraded to it yesterday.

    Is someone can you please tell me exactly what I need to buy to get the reliable support of two external monitors in this environment?

    And please don't say no double or Triple head to go by Matrox.  I don't mean for this set of compromise.

    Besides solutions Matrox, my only choice seems to be somehow supporting this additional monitor via Ethernet, Firewire or USB.  I want to know what are sanctioned for this solutions are supported by VMware (i.e. you tell me what to buy...) I'll buy it... and it works... works very well).

    Thanks a bunch,

    Ted...

    Almost all laptops, dual support external monitor and are VERY easy to configure.

    I support Mac and PC systems.  It's a complete joke that anyone would try to convince me that Mac has better bi-ecrans support.

    To the extent where what is the best solution for businesses.  The need to install a virtual Mac on a PC machine was never even considered because it is not necessary in the world of business.  I can't say that on Mac.

    I'm the guy who went to take care of both in a business environment.  Your brilliant mac sounds really cool, but it is a major pain in my butt and should be confined to a domestic environment.

    Screwed as far as home users, my Mac friends never call me on the East of their computer from viruses.  I like this very well on Mac at home.  But which probably has more to do with the fact that it is not profitable to write a virus for the Mac platform.

  • CS6 tool for animation and video?

    I use CS6 (mainly FW & DW but want to use others) to develop Web sites. I would like first of all to help (in the ' Cloud) other apps, but it takes time to learn and time is so limited that to use?

    I want to do more animation and video (using tools below to do a little now), but wants to focus on the best choice for all instead of having to learn all the new software.

    Used FL & PS some but am not competent with either. Looks like should I consentrate AE or MU maybe?

    FL & PS are both very intensive with steep learning curve. AE video makes it look a little more simple to learn and use, no?

    Your thoughts please!

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi, Robert,.

    For animimation, you can try After Effects.  If you are comfortable with the tools of Web site, you could also try edge Preview for animation.

    Muse is more about the overall website creation for designers than animation.

    Here are some good places to start learning:

    -After Effects for animation: Getting Started blog post from Todd Kopriva

    -Edge for HTML5 animimation: resources page with tutorials and lessons of product

    -Premiere Pro for video: tutorials video Learn Premiere Pro CS6 on Adobe TV
