Cheap Color Correction Monitor

[Wgocin]

Hello,
I am building a system to edit and grade 5d Mk3 Raw with davinci,premiere...

I am currently looking for a sub $ 300 monitor to buy for color correcting. I know

that at this price range it is almost ridiculous to ask for any objective color correction but

well, is the money I have.

My options so far are:

 

--Asus MX239H 23"

--Asus PA238Q 23" 

 

Which monitor do you use? What are your recommendations?

Thanks!

As far as consumer monitors capable of decent color correction i think there are only a couple of options, none that fit the <$300.

you will basically be guessing. Dell 2713H  and HP dreamcolor. And in order to make any of these worthwhile you will need a device

to collaborate them, I recommend the colormunki.

 

If you have a decent plasma TV that will actually be closer for critical color than a $300 monitor. I would use whatever monitor to you have now and save the $300 towards a decent one down the road.

 

 

My 2c.  Good luck!

Consider an Eizo, maybe CX or CS series http://www.eizo.com/global/products/coloredge/cx240/ and I'd second the Colormunki Display probe.

Most of the Eizo's are far in excess of $1000, let alone $300.

But yeah, I looked around for the cheapest colour correction monitor a couple of years ago, and went with the Eizo Flexscan, which was about $1100 at the time.

You can probably find cheaper deals now.
