Can this monitor punch in to 100% zoom (for focus assist)? Does it offer false colors or peaking? My Marshall VLCD-51 does that.

This will only monitor what's on your screen. If your camera can hold at 100% zoom, yes. But you're not going to get a different zoom on the screen vs what would be on the camera display, no. This also does not offer false colors/peaking/zebra/etc. This is an entry level field monitor. That said, it is a well built entry level field monitor. For those reading with DSLRs be aware that though this is a 7" display most cameras will not output video to fill that seven inches. Canon for example outputs a black border that utilizes about 1" total top/bottom/left/right for display of camera controls/settings. Your actual viewable space is more like 5.5-6" inside this black frame. Some cameras output better, some add-ons to firmware like Magic Lantern will allow you to modify this border. But all said and done, this does it's job... increasing the viewing area of your screen or working as a second screen for focus puller.

I haven't done any tests myself to verify that this monitor is as advertised, so the best I can do is refer you to this article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_depth . It explains the definitions, and you can refer the section "Industry Support" for a couple examples of cards that support this.

There are some new ultra zooms the Nikon P90 24x, Olympus SP-590UZ and the Kodak Z980 24x. I really like the swivel LCD on the SX10 though. Do you have any issues with purple fringing in high contrast shots??

Steven, link me to a 2D scrolling shooter, and I'll snap a picture of this monitor at 90 rotation. Right now just browsing the web I can see a slight haze on the screen. If I look at it at different angles the screen gets dark, but head on it looks nice just not as bright.

That is the true contrast ratio. Other monitors that claim things like 8,000,000:1 are using adaptive dimming and other tricks to attain that. The proof is in the picture, and this monitor has excellent picture. A calibration solution with hardware puck is A MUST though!

In all honesty, the default settings on this guy were pretty amazing. I did mess with the brightness a bit, but other then that I left it alone. I recommend you play around with the settings as the previous comment said. Everythings going to be different according to your tastes. You can also google/youtube the monitor settings as well. People usually post their settings there.

I use this often and I couldn't tell you for sure. However, I'm freakin' blind, even with bifocal contacts lenses I keep reading glasses in all my camera bags to focus with even a 7" HDMI monitor. And it's great, magnification wise - you will nail focus far better than just using the LCD. The bigger issue of this one is using it on a rail system - it offsets your camera by 15mm left or right (depending which mounting hole you use). So you're SOL if you use a rail-mount matte box (my follow focus does fine). You need a camera baseplate that adjusts left/right to align with a matte box. I've used this on rails with huge lenses, and find lens supports still work OK though.

Head over to www.TFTcentral.co.uk, they have an area where they post ICC profiles and optimal settings gathered either from reviews they have done or from user submissions. The settings they offer are from hardware calibration. Although every screen is different (even within the same model!), the settings they have should get you close to accurate as far as calibration standards go. Here is the link with the settings database, the vs248h-p is there: http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/articles/icc_profiles.htm Personally I am pretty happy with this monitor in sRGB mode. The only problem is that the default gamma is about 1.8 from my testing, so I lowered the gamma correction in my Nvidia Control Panel to 0.85 and got it closer to gamma 2.2. Looks much better...colors are no longer washed out. You can try that, or try the settings on tftcentral...although be aware that those are hardware calibrated to sRGB standards, and you may not prefer the way it looks.

Yes it does. That's what I have. FYI.. if using Zoom H4N, keep headphone level around 60-65. Much more and you get some distortion, Down side is if you don't have very efficient headphones, your monitor level will be low. I recommend using a headphone booster or amp between the cable and the headphones. (NOT to camera)

The static contrast ratio is 3,000:1 instead of 2,000:1 as well. That's one of the best I've seen for LCD.

Personally, I think it's gorgeous. Crystal clear for sure. No JPEG-type compression shading issues, very accurate color. I do professional photography and the color response of this monitor is good enough to use for my printing. Very accurate, great color range. Better than my MacBook Pro built-in display.

It's very good. Image and color is spot on w the latter adjustable. I noticed some very nice deals recently for lesser but comparable monitors but I don't know if they utilize an ILS panel..just sayin.BTW, I edit mostly in LR5 and I'm not a pro.

Yes it is. It's an IPS monitor so no matter where you sit, the color/image wont distort. Compared to my other monitor, this is very crisp and sharp.

I use it why my Vision:M and couldn't disagree more. With my old Creative Zen Nomad 40GB it was perfect. With the Vision:M, with no custom EQ, it becomes distorted. No setting I've used works. I don't understand why it's doing this, but it has me interested in buying another one.

1st of al, and once in for all, I purchased a "VP2365-LED", a 23" IPS..NOT the 27"..It does not have or need an HDMI connection for photo editing..Top rated bang-for-the-buck by Photoshop Guru Tim Grey..Accurate color right out of the box..It swivels and tilts.No dead pixels. Has 3 or four USB2 connecting points. Viewing angle 178 degrees north and south..It's a steal at around $250..3 year warranty..It replace an aging NEC24" which was NOT an IPS, and depending uponmy viewing angle, I wouldget inconsistent output..I get an excellent screen to print match at least 90% of the time..I'd buy it again!Eddie 1st of al, and once in for all, I purchased a "VP2365-LED", a 23" IPS..NOT the 27"..It does not have or need an HDMI connection for photo editing..Top rated bang-for-the-buck by Photoshop Guru Tim Grey..Accurate color right out of the box..It swivels and tilts.No dead pixels.

No monitor comes color calibrated. I calibrated mine using Displays &gt; calibrate.

I am currently running this monitor on Mavericks at 60 Hz with full 4K resolution. There is scaling available in system preferences.
