Does the HDlink work on the Cinema 30 inch dispaly?

Thanks

The viewsonic does say it supports 1080i not 1080p
Basically I think Bob’s suggestion appears to be the best option,
although I guess I can try the viewsonic and if it doesn’t cut it, just return it.

The 30 inch Dell seems to be good as well, just lots more coin

Thanks Bob

I think the folks at barefeats boasted about that one. I was hoping for something in the 32 inch size
and came across a viewsonic which claims 1920 x 1080 with hdmi connection. This is a tv per se and
doesn’t indicate its “native resolution” which I assume is what its all about. It is just over $1000 .
Just wondering how to determine what specs to go by, native resolution or the claims of the manufacturer?

thanks

Tried everything David, very odd. However if I switch the output to cinema I can send it to my lcd monitors and it plays just fine, even a 27 inch lcd . I guess I will harass the boys for BM to see what they can offer

Well Drizzt G

That is the question of the decade. There are two resellers here in Toronto but they rarely have stock and know little about the product. I would recommend Terry at the DVshop here in Toronto, http://www.dvshop.ca He gets them in regularly.

Hope that helps

Unfortunately I agree with Wes on this one. While Lacie has some good products, the fanless design drives
really don’t cut it for video production in my experience. As an editor for over 22 years and having worked with FCP since the beginning and having built my own drive arrays I can tell you that the lacies run too hot for my taste. I, too, had some drives die on me, an extreme 500 and some non extremes. Awhile back I had one of my two extremes die on me, clicking sound, so had to replace one of the two drives inside. Fortunately it was under warranty but it took a few days to fix. Oddly enough, though, there were no replacement drives in the city, go figure. I had to scramble and get the G techs which were equally hard to find in town. Lucky for me. They have run flawlessly for over a year and now that’s all I use in both suites. Granted this is not a raid 5 scenario but with just tape footage and some render files on the drives, everything is easily re loaded. I also recommend them. The other nice thing about them is that they deliver consistent performance across the entire drive even when it gets full. No point in having a terabyte of storage if the last 150 gig are slower and have dropped frames.

all the best
