Will be interesting to see what the ManhattanLCD HD089C will be priced at. From the specs, they appear to be using the same panel, but it seems like the Manhattan HD089C will be shipping by the end of the month.

There's no mention of any tricks the monitor will do...focus in red or waveform display.
I imagine it's just the first of many led monitors to come. I want features !!

Man I am really trying to decide whether to throw my money at the increased resolution of 1280x768 or at other features (tricks) like the new Marshall monitors are offering like Peaking-in-Red, False Color and 1:1 pixel mapping among other things...

Thoughts anyone?

$799 seems a little high....yeah the new Marshall or Ikan might be a better choice

If you really want cutting edge technology, Marshall showed those new OLED location monitors at NAB. They look pretty sweet but a lot more money than these monitors.

I know that ManhattanLCD's HD089B has 1:1 pixel mapping, and the HD089C will as well. Not sure whether or not peaking-in-red/false color is possible with their pixelworks controller.

Looks like the HC089C unit will be priced similarly at $799 (http://www.dvxuser.com/V6/showpost.php?p=1525587&postcount=91), though that was announced in January.
