I'm considering moving over to HD camcorders now that some of the prosumer models are reasonably priced. I know that editing HD in Premiere Pro will take some hardware upgrades to handle increased file sizes and video processing. More to the point, I know I'll need to have a better monitor than my old NTSC workhorse to view HD video.
The camcorders I'm looking at support 1080i resolution, so I'd like to get a monitor that has at least native 1080 vertical resolution. Dell has an interesting computer monitor, the 2405FPW, that has a resolution of 1920x1200, enough to handle 1080 resolution: http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/ProductDetail.aspx?TabPage=techspecs&sku=320-4221&c=us&l=en&cs=19 It's a reasonable price: around $900 - 950 when it's on sale. I'm just not sure if it will handle 1080i input -- if interlaced signals will throw it off, since it's a technically a progressive monitor. I'm also unfamiliar with video and audio outputs on the new Sony HD camcorders. What cables do you need to connect HD output on the camcorder to HD input on a monitor? The Dell has 15-pin D-sub and DVI-D ports along with the standard S-video, composite, and component ports. Do you think it will work for displaying an HD camcorder output? Any information from all you folks experienced in dealing with HD is very much appreciated. Thanks, Mike Boom Yahoo!
