Hi Barry,
You don't need the HD-SDI option to view HD on the L5 series (1080/24, 1080i, 1035i, 720p, 480p, 480i) The analog HD looks great, I've pushed all flavors of HD into the monitor, it is a HD monitor straight out of the box. I found that Ross Digital makes a much more affordable HD-SDI input for the L5 if you need a digital HD in.

Really? Superb! I'll have to look at it a bit more closely then...
this is very interesting ... after researching the specs of the Sony PVM-14L5, it does say it is HD capable (including 1080p/24) and also seems to be able to display this without having to introduce a pulldown to 60i. Is this correct? And what is this about needing some optional card though?
I also read that this monitor is capable of a max 800 lines (600 in 16:9 mode).Would this be accurate and good for monitoring and cc in post work? How would using this monitor compare to something like the HDLink/Decklink card/Dell monitor combo for such?

It would be for color accuracy and monitoring. I am using FCP, with a Digital Voodoo SD card, hooked up to my PVM-14M via component. The monitor has a 16:9 switch, so i see my DVCPRO HD footage on it letterboxed. Obviously i dont get the detail of an HD monitor but i do get color that is accurate.

That's the reason I went with the PVM-14L5 instead of buying the PVM-14L2.
Color accuracy.
Well that, and the extra 200 lines of resolution.
The PVM-14L2 has P-22 phosphors and the PVM-14L5 has SMPTE-C phosphors.
The latter are more accurate.
I just checked on B&H and the monitor's price has dropped $80 since I bought mine a couple months ago. Doh! :angry:

Jarred, Barry_S, and myself have had this Dell 24" LCD for some time now and we all love it. And also there are several other posts on the site about it if you guys are looking for more info.

Only order it if you need it now. With technology, as time passes, things get better and prices go lower.
The offer has been extended by Dell to 10/18 or 5000 units. I just ordered one...
