	Re: best solution HD monitoring by John Fishback on Sep 17, 2009 at 5:56:58 pm It depends on what you want to do. If you want to monitor for audio work your plan is good. However, if you intend to edit video and do color grading, you need a much better monitor. Checkout FSI monitors (you can click on their yellow banner on the left of the page) or other grade 1 monitors.

	Re: best solution HD monitoring by John Fishback on Sep 18, 2009 at 2:29:23 pm I agree with Jeff. However, pairing an Apple 23" monitor with an MXO is doable. We tried that for a short while a few years ago. I looked at it side- by-side with our Panny 17" HD field monitor and it was very close. I've never tried that comparison with our TVLogic monitor. Todya, I'd go with an FSI. Then you don't have to worry about what you're looking at. And, clients who know a little about edit gear will feel comfortable.
