I agree wholeheartedly! Unfortunately, at this point in time, I can't afford
to pick up a good NTSC monitor — I'm a bit overextended, just having bought
the PAR, and another computer. I realize that there is no substitute, but for
now, until I get a couple paying jobs, I have to make do and try to come up
with another reference. I'm working on my demo reel now, so I took a short
clip out to tape, and took it to "Incredible Universe", a huge electronics
store that happened to have an NTSC monitor in their high-end section, and
checked the output there. 2.0 looked pretty good, so I decided to stick with
that for my gamma output setting for now. I just wanted to get my SVGA to a
point where I could look at something and have a pretty good idea of what it
would look like on tape. Hence, this thread. Thanks again for all your help–
