You need a display port adapter to which ever connection your monitor uses (vga, dvi). In final cut: view -> video playback. Or you could use external video, which uses firewire through a dv camera. Hook the camera up to a tv using rca cables.

I just saw a product announcement that breaks out the thunderbolt port to two HDMI ports….think it was apple branded, so maybe look into that.
