recommended low cost HD monitor

So avoid sony and dell lcd tvs. I went into a best buy today and they have a large selection of affordable panasonic hd tvs. The resolution looked fantastic, so should i pull the trigger on one of them?
 
If they cover the resolution you need (720 or 1080) and have component inputs, I'd say go for it. While it won't be a broadcast monitor, unless you are going to film, this will be what your audience uses to watch your production.
 
Remember to change the COMPONENT OUT format in the AV IN/OUT SETUP menu to 720p or 1080i when you connect the HVX.
 
I got a Samsung 19" HD LCD...it was like $450 at CC. It's...OK...but after I ran an AVIA disc on it, it actually looked pretty good. I'm not gonna do anything critical with it, but it makes a nice client monitor.
 
Seven Inch LCDs for Under $250!

I know the Marshall seems to be the standard around here, but for the price of it you can buy a 42 inch LCD or plasma. I just want something to use in the field that is portable, will provide a sharp picture, and will give me a better way to focus my Letus35 Flip Enhanced other than the on camera's LCD display.

I was working a music video shoot yesterday with two DVXs and saw a Jensen JTFT-700 being used for the stabilizing unit's monitor. It looked great. I figured it was expensive, but I did a search and found it at Circuit City for only $150.

I found three 7 inch LCD 16x9 widescreen displays for under $250.

Will these LCDs work with the HVX200? If not, can someone explain why not?
 
You are not going to find anything for less than $1300-$1500. For Now Marchall is pretty much the only game in town for a serious monitor. The Panasonic one is even better but much more expensive.
 
HDMI monitoring...

HDMI monitoring...

I've actually been waiting for Black Magic to release their Intensity card which has HDMI out. I was planning on buying an LCD TV/Monitor with HDMI-in to use as a preview monitor. So Mac Pro to LCD TV/Monitor through Black Magic's intensity. Sound Wise? I should get pretty great monitoring right?
