My powerbook is running on a 1.25 ghz PowerPC G4 processor with 512 mb ram. I don’t know what type of video card it has, I’m afraid it’s just whatever it came with.

I am planning on using it as a secondary computer display monitor, because I would like a bigger landscape to work within while editing. Also, I have been told that color correction won’t be accurate if I use a computer monitor as a video external monitor, but would the matrox mxo make accurate color correction possible?

I am working on a documentary shot in SD right now. Are there any other monitors you can recommend that might fit my needs better? After this project I plan to start shooting in HD so I was thinking the Dell would be good to have for future use as well.

Thanks for your help, I will check my powerbook manual to see what resolution it can support. Just for future reference, what determines how much resolution a computer can support for a secondary display? Is it memory, processor, video card, etc?

thanks again!
