    Hi all

    Just want to know of any recommendations for the hdlink as far as lcd monitors go.
    Can I hook up a plasma or an lcd tv which says it has hdmi resolution of 1920 x 1080 or best
    to go with a computer type monitor?

    You will be very happy with the very inexpensive Dell 2407FPW 24″ LCD monitor (just over $700 US).

    Thanks Bob

    I think the folks at barefeats boasted about that one. I was hoping for something in the 32 inch size
    and came across a viewsonic which claims 1920 x 1080 with hdmi connection. This is a tv per se and
    doesn’t indicate its “native resolution” which I assume is what its all about. It is just over $1000 .
    Just wondering how to determine what specs to go by, native resolution or the claims of the manufacturer?

    thanks

    For that price it’s probably got 720 physical resolution. true 1080p LCD televisions are expensive… and you gotta make sure they’ll accept 1080p HDMI and not just 1080i.

    Thanks

    The viewsonic does say it supports 1080i not 1080p
    Basically I think Bob’s suggestion appears to be the best option,
    although I guess I can try the viewsonic and if it doesn’t cut it, just return it.

    The 30 inch Dell seems to be good as well, just lots more coin

    (90 lines short of being a grade 1 ) and is just around 2,000 dollars
    buy the HD-SDI input slot

    dell, apple, viewsonic is a reference but not real
