    Posted by Ed Stevens on February 7, 2006 at 5:05 pm

    I have searched the cow for news. didn’t find any about this monitor.
    If I buy the Radeon XT800 display card, will this improve my display refresh rate?

    [ED stevens] “I have searched the cow for news. didn’t find any about this monitor.”

    This is a video LCD Monitor and the Radeon XT card would not be used to feed it. You would feed and SDI signal from your SD or HD video capture card.

    It’s an outstanding monitor, but if you’re going to be color correcting, it’s not there yet. Even the Panasonic rep says it should not be used for color correcting.

    What refresh rate do you want?

    It’s not a great big deal but scrolling though the timeline, the display has to catch up. What I am trying to say is that What will the XT800 do for me that I don’t have now. Will the display react instantly rather than taking a little time to catch up.
