Many aspects of HD production cost just about the same as SD production did. Thanks to new formats, HD production sometimes actually costs less than SD production does. But one of the most critical pieces for professional-strength editing is an external broadcast monitor for your work....and HD versions of those cost much, much more than their SD counterparts.
Desktop LCD monitors cost less, and make beautiful pictures, but haven't been up to the job of broadcast HD monitoring. Creative COW leader Shane Ross has experienced this the hard way in his HD editing for Discovery, The History Channel, and many more.

Join Shane as he puts the Matrox MXO to the test, over months of HD broadcast monitoring. Is it too good to be true? Or truly good?

Color Hardware recommendations
Our company is thinking about setting up a dedicated grading room running Color to handle our TV and Commercials work in the UK. Mostly SD but an increasing amount of HD too. We really want to make a 'Wow' room for clients where they get to see their pictures looking great.
