I am actually going to venture inth HDV and HD (getting the JVX HD100 for HDV and the Panasonic HVX200 - due nov/dec 2005 for HD0, there is a $695 device called BlackmagicDesign HDLink that can connects SDI video to any supported DVI-D based LCD computer monitor for true HDTV resolution video monitoring.

It supports 1080i component video. Most of the LCD/Plasma units only support up to 720p. The other nice thing about the Sony is it has a 1394 interface. So you can directly connect the HDV camcorder via 1394. The picture is great. The monitor is a little big and heavy, but I still think the 50 year old, old school CRT still looks better than any LCD/Plasma/computer monitor. They cost less than $2000 USB.
