Are control rooms and equipment rooms using TV Logic reference monitors? What do you recommend in studio for color accurate monitoring of Sony DHC series cameras for a DLP not individual monitoring 1080p 60 workflow?

Bill mentions Flanders Scientific as a top-tier choice for accuracy and engineering solutions, though noting it's been years since he's worked with them.
Courtney recommends the Sony PBM 2400 4K at approximately $10,000 for high-end work, but agrees Flanders are great for those with smaller budgets.
A panelist recommends the TV Logic LVM241S 24-inch high-end LCD monitor with true 10-bit and decent contrast ratio, noting that standardizing on a brand means more crew familiarity with calibration.

Next up is coming in from Dan in Mountain View, California, submitted through the QR code. Are control rooms and equipment rooms use TV logic reference monitors? What do you recommend in studio for color-accurate monitoring of Sony DHC series cameras for a DLP, not individual monitoring, 1080p60 workflow?
4:05He's a mace. Dan, I think if you're using TV logic, then look no farther than the LVM241S 24-inch high-end LCD monitor monitor because it's got true 10 bit and decent contrast ratio and you know all the standard recs and you know good things and as an added bonus if you've standardized around a brand then more people happen to know how to calibrate it so if you are running with either not your normal crew
4:38crew, or you've got less people than you would otherwise expect. More people that have familiarity with the equipment makes this less of a special thing and more something. If you have a trained room of people, they should be able to calibrate just about anything that you bring in there, but needing to figure it out when you're under stress and under the gun isn't something that
5:00every crew is great at. Bill Davis. The other name that always comes to my mind, and I don't know where they are right now because it's been some years since I've had to play in this arena, but Flanders Scientific was always ... If somebody said, you need to calibrate something and you really want accuracy and you're doing this not for fun or for a client to look at in a studio thing,
5:21but if you really want the engineering solution, that's the land that Flanders Scientific was always at the top of. They may have been sold to somebody else or something like that, because I said it's been a few years since I've dealt with that, but that's a name that I would always take a look at. Trevor Burrus, Jr.: Courtney Gooden. How much money you got?
5:38If you got a lot of money. The Sony PBM 2400 4K, I think it's about $10,000, is good. But if you don't have that kind of money, I agree the Flanders are great. I see a lot of them on the set. Next question. All right. This one comes in from Craig McFarlane in Boston, Massachusetts.
