I appreciate your response and I’m doing my best to understand, but I don’t really understand. I will continue to sip my coffee and educate myself so that I will eventually get it. However, I need a solution right now. I really just want to be a user and not a tech! Apparently, I’ll have to be a little techy to get this to work. Maybe it was explained in the post and I’m just not seeing it, but how is it that Quicktime can display the video perfectly and Final Cut Pro cannot? Do you personally edit on Final Cut Pro? And if so, do you only look at your external broadcast monitor and ignore the color and contrast problems present in your preview and program monitors on the computer screen? Currently, I’m using a 2.8 Ghz Intel Core i7 Quad iMac. Can you recommend a solution to me? Am I really going to have to invest in some expensive piece of hardware to fix this problem? I haven’t done my research on the various hardware pieces mentioned in the post you linked and I will. Do these devices work with a 27″ iMac or do I need a Tower? What do you recommend?
