Hi. How does the f5a compare to the 58w in terms of sharpness and focus?
Asked by: Ed
I'm curious what settings worked well for others for focus on this monitor. We are using one of these alongside with a 58w. The 58 has a crappier image but for focus, it is better. For viewing the image, the f5a is better. For focus the 58 keeps the peaking much better when something is moving, and couldn't get the same result out of the f5a. And also peaking on the f5a generally seems to cover more the image below, and because of this, it is harder to doublecheck how sharp the image is. I would love new monitor that does the same for focus as the 58 :D What are your experiences?

Can this input at 24p and output at 60p? What is the latency?
Asked by: E
TV Logic does not provide latency info. However, TV Logic is a professional level on camera monitor and it would be very low latency. The TVLogic F-5A does not have a frame rate converter and the signal you input would be sent to the output at the same frame rate.
