Thank you both for your quick replies!

Richard, could you explain why I’d have to get an expensive video interface card? I had been told that all I have to do is run a firewire from my Mac to my DVX100, and then an S-video to the monitor.

And do you agree with Walter, that LCD screens are subpar?

And what would you each say about the Sony PVM-20LI? B&H is selling it for $400 (a LOT cheaper than the Panasonic 1700W).

Also, what if I used my 32″ Toshiba as my monitor? If I get a swiveling TV stand, I should be able to look at it from my desk as I edit.
