One important factor when thinking of using TFT screens for editing video is the refresh rate.

I have a triple head display on my system - at the moment two are 21" CRT, but the other is an Acer 19" model which has a 8ms refresh rate - anything less for video is not very good. (The perceived viewing area of the 19" TFT is not actually far off the viewable area of the CRTs because of their masks.

Specifications have been improving steadily and it is more common now to see 8ms and better rather than something around 12ms or above.

As someone previously mentioned, true black levels are hard to attain on TFT - something to bear in mind.......

My Edit Suite - before rewire....
