[Laurence McDonald] "i'm short of funds i'm wondering if a standard SANYO TV monitor no more than 15 years old 50/60hz and 79watts is worth having i"
Not in my opinion.
[Laurence McDonald] "if i have to fork out $500 to buy a graphics card just so i can hook it up to my over 3 year old power MAC G5"
You don't connect a TV to a graphics card, you connect it to a proper video card like he AJA Kona series.
[Laurence McDonald] "Is it better than no monitor? Because i'm really keen to colour grade. Cheers."
You cannot color grade using Color's preview display. You need to have a proper video monitor connected via a video output card like the AJA Kona series.
My current favorite monitors are the TV-Logic LCD HD displays.
