HDLink question
I was just hired to edit my first HD spot. I will purchase a Decklink HD card and was thinking of using an HDLink and an Apple 23″ Cinema Display to monitor the footage.
I have a question about using this monitoring setup with SD footage. If I have widescreen SD footage how does it look on the 23″ display? Will appear as 16×9 or will it look squished as on a monitor without a 16×9 setting?
Any input would be greatly appreciated. I need to make a buying decision soon.

for HDLink there is an option for anamorpihic SD – looks good, well it’s no HD but good

I love the HD link but SD footage looks awful when stretched up on the LCD, it gets wierd blocky/interlaced artifacts even with progressive motion graphics, we had to switch back to a CRT for SD.
