19-20″ LCD MONITOR W/COMPONENT IN

[Zak Mussig]

Hey Ed,

The purists on the forum probably won’t like this… and they’re right, but have you looked into just getting a 20″ LCD TV and trying to find one with a DVI input. Failing that, maybe you could get a DVI to HDMI cable and use that to connect your MXO.

Dell’s 24″ is the only “monitor” I’ve seen with component in. I would just go with a second of those. If you’re so cramped for space that the difference between a 20″ and a 24″ display kicks you into claustrophobia, then it may be time to find a new work environment.

The MXO is not compatible with FCP 6? You mean COLOR, right? Cause it works with FCP 6 on my machine. And it works great with the Dells. I have two and use one on occasion with my laptop and the MXO. Works and looks fine. And I am very cramped too.

Thanks Zak,
I may look into that, not sure of the response rate of a TV versus monitor (it may be fine, haven’t looked yet). I didn’t mentionin my post that I want to be able to take the monitor to shoots (indoor shoots), so the smallest monitor to display a full 1280×720, the better.
My workstation area *is* pretty crowded. I went from 19″ CRTs to a 24″ LCD, but adding another 24″ pushes it into the wall.

The MXO does NOT work with the new Macbook Pros. Only in presentation mode.

I did the same thing someone else posting earlier did, I meant MBP, not FCP6. I’ll probably only get the MXO if I get a MBP.
I’m still looking into a MBP/MXO combo with the possibility of a 2nd LCD for the MBP (I just need one more DVI out!). I’m waiting to hear if Matrox’s DVI splitter works with the MXO.

Well THAT’S different than not working with FCP 6. Yes, this is because Apple switched from ATI cards to Nvidia cards I hear. Also hear that they are working on it.

Man, and I just ordered a MacBook Pro…

You already have an MXO for corrected output, and you’re probably not looking to spend $2800… but it’s small enough to fit in your studio and it’s built to be used in the field, so I’ll mention this
17″ Panasonic LCD Production monitor I’ll be ordering shortly:

I have a MBP 17″ hi res . Having trouble playing older P2 material imported through a
G4 macbook. DVCPROHD material breaks up on playback. Think it must have something to do with the Nvidea card or the hi res display?
Ideas?
