Hi Sam

Sadly you can't believe everything you read. Yes, its certainly going to be better than not checking on a good properly calibrated broadcast monitor at all, and much better than checking on a consumer HDTV, but sill it won't be truly "accurate" for critical evaluation/correction purposes. SD and HD are not differentiated only in frame size, they also adhere to different technical standards and specifications, and whilst the card should properly handle the Rec 709 to Rec 601 conversion, the result is that what you are monitoring and correcting is in a different color space form the real source ... so using SD to critically correct an HD source is never going to be perfect. After all, if it were really that simple don't you think everybody would do it that way?

Best
Andy
