Re: AJA HD10C2 to a JVC dvi monitor - what will I loose?

Hi Bryan,

Plasma monitors seem to have better black levels than LCD's and so are great for HD monitoring but I don't think anyone makes a Plasma higher than HD resolution so you can't use a Plasma display for full-resolution 2K monitoring. So if you're working in 2K, then a DVI-based 30" LCD is the technology available today for full resolution monitoring.

Another option is to use a full-resolution 1920x1080 Plasma display and connect it to the HDLink Pro via HDMI. This will be a great solution for SD and HD monitoring. If you want to monitor 2K, you will be able to play out the 2K material via your DeckLink HD Extreme and you will see a cropped 1920 x 1080 image of your 2K material on the Plasma display. This gives you the benefit of being able to see much of your 2K image and enjoy the deeper black levels provided by Plasma displays.
