i was told that if i shoot in 24p or 24pa i would`nt be able to edit with my computer monitor, instead i would need a external progressive monitor to edit on because the picture would not be in full frame. is this true?
 
how can you tell if your monitor is progressive or not?

i have a HP 22inch widescreen flat panel monitor with bright view panel. 1680 x1050 screen resolution with vga & hdmi inputs.
 
forgive me for sounding like an idiot but,

do you think that i have a decent monitor to do color corection ect. on?
 
BrightView is what? IPS? Or PVA? In this case you have a decent monitor. If you have a monitor with TN-film panel with 6 bits per color component, that it is not a good one for video or photo.

A computer monitor is not a good place to judge color correction, especially with NTSC DV. You'd be far better off previewing to a TV and using color bars to calibrate it as best you can. A computer monitor can display a far higher resolution and many, many more colors, so you won't be getting an accurate view of your final delivery. You may end up with very unpleasant surprises when you try to watch on a TV.

The best option, if you can afford it, would be a professional CRT NTSC monitor.
 
man! it costs so much just to get off the ground in the video world.

Yes, but compare it to even five years ago. An HD camera that was worth buying was $100,000. Even to get a decent 2/3" SD camera you were looking at $15,000 and up. So lots of us are actually amazed at how cheap everything's gotten! :)
