One of the things I’ve learned quickly working in post-production is how little people understand about display technologies. Have you ever put your heart and soul into a project, tweaking everything so it looks just right only to be crushed when you see it on someone else’s screen? Clients come in here all the time wanting their projects to have a certain look but inevitably we run into the disaster that is multiple display technologies.
There are so many out there now that the acronyms alone are enough to intimidate people. ExtremeTech has done a nice “shootout” between all the various contenders explaining the strengths and weaknesses of each one. So next time you hand me a project I’ll expect you to understand that I can’t make it look the same on your fancy 62” PDP 1080P HD display as it does on your grandma’s 13” SD CRT. Got it?
