Interesting, but Matrox sure has to go a lot farther than THIS to buy back my business. Thanks for the discount though... but just over 2% discount is laughable.

I do hear people are liking the box though.

I have to say that this is one of their better products, but in their fashion they gave us absolutely no margin, even though we are a Gold Dealer for them. Notice, these are selling at LIST price just about everywhere else.

No problem... thanks for the honesty.

Actually -- I'm 'in' with a very famous FCP editor and he got an advanced release of this and absolutly loves it.

Let's just hope they decide to continue supporting it even after apple changes OS or FCP.

Phenomenal product! I have been beta testing and can say that it is THE product for monitoring all flavors of HD inexensively. Use it with a flat-panel display to "get close"; use it with a broadcast SDI monitor for accurate color grading.
