My PC has a dual output DVI videocard.
I currently use DVI->RGB adapters to connect 2 monitors to it, one LCD and another CRT (neither has DVI in).
The setup is "extended desktop" to the right (CRT) monitor.
The idea is that CRT shows more subtle detail than LCD. So my PremierePro Monitor Window is showing on the right, CRT, monitor.
Problem: that monitor (Iiama) is 21" 4x3 model. I need a much larger one, to actually see the HDV image detail.
I was thinking, why not replace the right monitor with a 30" 16:9 CRT HDTV (and match it's resolution and ratio with a new LCD on the left.)
What resolution should it support, ideally - 1920x1080? Lower-? What refresh rate?
Are there any HDTV CRT monitors with either DVI or HDMI input that support such input signal?
What do you think of devices like Sony KD30XS955, Philips 30PW8402 ...as rather cheap 30" HDV editing system monitors? (and no, I don't care about the weight in this case.)
