Consumers want to see all of the real estate on their big, new sets, so
manufacturers comply by stretching the image in a variety of ways to
accommodate them. This means, for example, that an SD 3:4 480X720 image will
be stretched to 1080 pixels vertically, and 1440 pixels horizontally
(approximately), or worse, to a full 1080X1920. This is fine when we are
consumers, drinking a beer, kicking back, and don't want to see a lot of
black around a small 480X720 image in the center of the screen, but not what
we want when we are trying to see what is actually there, during post
monitoring. A proper monitor will give you the choice, but the majority of
consumer units do not, as well as those that call themselves "pro." It is a
rather important option for serious work. Some manufacturers call it by
different names, but the one term to look out for is "Just" because while
that is sometimes the right thing, it is just as often "just another
distortion." Look for a monitor that gives you the option to display "just"
"one" pixel for each "one" that is in the actual footage you are working
with: "Just 1:1."

Dennis
What do you mean by 1:1pixel display? Are there other resolutions for TV
monitors? On the website they say it's 1920x1080 full HD.
The MXO2 mini will just help me to monitor on TV the avchd edit.
Thanks,

I am not certain, but I am not sure that either of those choices supports a
1:1 pixel display, pretty much a necessity for "pro" work, wherever that
line is drawn. I don't think that there is anything an MXO2mini can do to
be of any help with that. You should also probably examine what they
actually mean by "true 24p" since I think most marketing departments throw
that term around without regard for the whole truth, and Psf is always a
problem.

Hi all
I am building an editing room and I need a suggestion for what HD video
monitor should I buy.
Is Sony 32" BRAVIA
Pro<http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/666863-REG/Sony_KDL32S5100_92_32_B
RAVIA_Pro_LCD.html
>a
good choice? How about Sharp
PN-E421
42"<http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/666619-REG/Sharp_PN_E421_PN_E421_4
2_Full_Color.html
>?
My budget is limited to approx. $1200.

Also, I'm thinking to get a Matrox MXO2 Mini for I/O and monitoring needs. I
have an AVCHD camcorder as a second camera and I know the MXO2 Mini will
help a lot.

Thank you,
Sorin
