'We use a 30 inch Apple Cinema Displays to display 2K, to my knowledge
thats the only display I know of that will display 2K.'
I need a second screen to go with my 23" cinema display as well as a Broadcast monitor.
Could I get by with a 30" ?

Since you want the price to be reasonable then your only option would be a Matrox MXO and Apple 23" Cinema HD display. I don't think the Apple 30" is on the Matrox list of supported Monitors. Yet. There's just been an MXO hardware update so the 30" may now be supported.
In case you're not aware, the Matrox MXO allows Apple users to colour grade on, among others, a 23" Cinema display.

I'd consider the MXO/ACD method to be the barest minimum for color accuracy. And take the time to calibrate everything properly. There's nothing worse than a client complaining about the look of a finished project and you have plenty of good excuses to give them for it. :)

[Peter Hitchcock]"Thanks Noah saw your ex1 video on the net (nab super meet). Is your info on the ex1 a guidebook or DVD?"
The EX1 Guidebook is a 3 hour video course on DVD covering
complete camera operations and then metadata management and post-production. And so far we're doing pretty well with it. :)

I would recommend the 24” broadcast monitor model number PBM-142 from Plura Broadcast, Inc.
Very good price and loaded with features at no additional cost
Support is great local in Irvine, CA and Long Island, NY
Professional company to deal with, i ordered one and got it the next week.
