    Interlacing first, I had this problem when I went to dual monitor. I bought a ViewSonic VA1912wb widescreen monitor (1440 x900). Very nice monitor but I can’t seem to get rid of the interlaced lines when I run PPRO 1.5
    No big deal it exports to tape and everything else fine.
    Dual monitors, I don’t think you can use the TV out as a monitor. I’ve tried this before and there doesn’t seem to be a way. The way I do it is I hook up my XL1s via firewire and run a monitor off of that. That works perfectly. You should be able to do this with most Mini DV cameras.

    Use two vga monitors with the dual head card – I find I need all the space I can get to work efficiently in Premiere.
    As the previous post says, use your DV camera to monitor on a video monitor.
    Beware without a Matrox RT product, the real-time previews on the video monitor are clunky, but rendered seem to work ok.

    It is possible to use a dual head card to preview on a tv, it is simply a matter of telling your computer you want it to do that. In the NVidia display control panel change the box in the “Full Screen Video” section from “disable” to “auto-select” this will output your video overlay on the second monitor. This requires less cpu power to display than outputing through firewire. Because I wanted dual or even triple monitors, I’m running my tv off of the second head of my main Video Card, while a cheaper card runs my second (and hopefully) third monitor.
