    A very nice, cost effective option is the Blackmagic Intensity Pro card. Some modern video cards have an HDMI out and there are HDMI adapters that fit onto a standard DVI out, but both options just pipe your entire desktop to the external monitor so it isn’t true monitoring of the source. The Intensity, on the other hand, feeds your After Effects preview window (or the preview from any editing app) directly to the monitor so it only shows the final product, not your entire interface.
