    Though I work at a large Apple dealer in Denmark as their Apple Specialist my knowlegde regarding Final Cut Pro is based on personal interest. I have reacently aquired a Mac Pro with 7GB memory and have thus started learning more about Final Cut from the Advanced Certification books. Now to the question.In Alex Van Hurkman

    My guess is that you won’t see much difference between the DVI and the HDMI inputs because you’re going out to it from the graphics card. From my experience, going straight out of the graphics card to a TV looks horrible! Typically it’s way over saturated!

    If you want to have any decent way of trying to tell what your video looks like, I would buy a blackmagic intensity card and go HDMI out of then. Then send some color bars to the display and try to tweek it so that it gets close to what it should (this can be a challenge). You can find instructions on how to calibrate monitors using color bars in the FCP manual.
