We picked up an inexpensive 32″ Olevia 720p LCD HD TV at our local Costco on sale for around $500 and the HD preview looks great! Matrox RT.X2 LE connects to the Component video inputs on the monitor and allows us to watch our productions on the same HDTVs our audience will be using. If you don’t already have an HDTV close to your edit station our advice is to shop the sales at your local electronics superstore or warehouse club or go on-line to Newegg or TigerDirect and you’ll be able to find an HDTV with Component input at a very surprising bargain. Sure, you can spend more and get an even better picture on HDTVs with higher contrast ratios or 1080p support but we find that for use in our edit suite 720p more then gets the job done and we’d rather stretch our budget for the larger screen size.
