Can I use a Dell W3706MC 37" LCD HDTV as an external NTSC Monitor?

Hello,
I was considering buying this dell TV as a second monitor for my studio as i mostly do audio post production and score music (this size monitor would be excellent for working on scores in my case) on a full time basis but I am expanding into film editing as well.
My question is can i use this as an external NTSC monitor for FCP 4.5HD and version 5? Any help would greatly be appriciated. You can view the tech specs of this TV at http://www1.ca.dell.com/content/products/productdetails.aspx/lcd_w3706mc?c=ca&cs =CADHS1&l=en&s=dhs

While it might be fine for corporate video or other non-broadcast work, it won't be appropriate for broadcast work. For that you need to buy a broadcast monitor.
The reason is that if you take 20 TVs of various models, and put them side by side (say you went to Circuit City or Best Buy), you wouldn't see the same image twice. They all would be slightly different. Even if you calibrated them, they might all look slightly different. But put 20 broadcast monitors side by side, all calibrated, and you will see exactly the same image and color representation.

  • How can I use my Dell photo 924 printer with my iMac

    How can I use my Dell photo 924 printer with my iMac, I have tons of ink and don't want to buy a new printer right now.

    People who need to SCAN & PRINT without a compatible driver from their manufacturer can use Apple's very basic "PRINT & SCAN" utility in System Preferences:
    Click the Apple menu ( ), and then click System Preferences .
    Click Print & Scan ( ).
    Click Scan , and then click Open Scanner .
    Click Show Details . The details of the scan display, including options to modify scan settings such as output type.Figure 2: Example of the Show Details scanning screen
    Change any settings as necessary, and then click Scan .

  • How can i use labview.tl​b to control Labview from an external applicatio​n?

    Hi,
    I've been told by a labview engineer that i could use the file
    labview.tlb located in the labview install folder to control labview
    from an external application (in my case, a C# app). I'm using Labview
    6.1 under Windows 2000. This article confirms that:
    "ActiveX and LabVIEW"
    http://zone.ni.com/devzone/conceptd.nsf/webmain/54​01BE584FBAEECE862567C2006D36C7?opendocument
    But i've not been able to find out how to use this file to achieve
    what i want. I just want to be able to open/close labview, open/close
    a vi, start/stop a vi, hide/show a vi from a C# application. The above
    web page talks about activex but i really don't see the realtion
    between activex and that labview.tlb file.
    Is there so
    mebody around who knows how to use that file? Why does NI
    tell us that it's possible to do what i want to do but doesn't explain
    how (or hides this info very well)?
    Thanks

    Hi,

    Thanks for the link, i actually already found this link before. I've
    found yesterday how to use Labview.tlb, just add it to the references
    of the project, it was probably too easy for me at that time:-) But
    now, i'm still stuck as there is no doc about using the interfaces and
    classes of this activex to control labview.
    The example given on your link is made is C++ and for some reasons,
    the wrapper generated for Labview.tlb when i added it to my c# project
    doesn't seem to expose the same
    interfaces and classes as the one used
    in the C++ example. I therefore can't use the C++ example in C#.
    I've tried to do something like:
    LabVIEW.ApplicationClass a = new LabVIEW.ApplicationClass();
    Just this line causes labview to launch but then immediately throws an
    exception: "Query interface for interface LabVIEW._IApplication
    failed".
    Does somebody knows how to use that control in C#/VB.NET ?

  • How can I view on external NTSC monitor in PRCS6?

    NOTE: I've aksed this quesion before on this forum and followed the kind suggestions given, however, I have not yet been successful. Note that I can view my timeline on my external broadcast monitor just fine in FCP .. anyone??

    Hi Steven,
    Thanks for jumping in.
    I cannot find "Enable Transmit" anywhere under any menu ... just for clarity, I have CS6, not PRCC.
    As a side note - not sure why this should be an issue at all, and why it is not readily explained by Adobe ... there does not seem to be any aswers anywhere from Adobe, or online also for that matter. Seriousely, anyone who's an editor is going to want to view their work in an extenral NTSC monitor, and not on the computer display ...
    Many thanks

  • Can I use my dell keyboard with an iPad 2?

    I go to high school so I sometimes need to write long pieces of work, I may be getting an ipad 2. Because I think it will be hard to use the touch screen for long pieces of writing I was wondering if its possible to connect my dell keyboard to the ipad? Also do you think a ipad 2 is appropriate for school, i wouldn't have any other computer so i would have to depend completely on the ipad for homework, going on the internet, emailing and any thing else. Would this work?

  • Can I use my Dell Digital Display?

    I ust bought a PowerBook, love it, ad threw my PC out the windows...
    Question is, since my 17" Dell display is all digital including 4 built-in USB ports - will I be able to use it with my PowerBook, or do I throw that out as well?
    Anybody?

    You should be able to, yes - provided you've got the DVI adapter for your PowerBook. The built-in digital video port is a unique connector where you have to purchase the adapter for DVI or VGA as needed.
    Plus you should also take advandage of the USB hub in your monitor to increase the # of ports you have available.
