- yes
- probably the fastest, most powerful one made
- one that does both NTSC and PAL and is cheap

- also
- figure out what you can afford, then bump up the specs to what you can absolutely afford, then buy that one
- check ebay for a broadcast monitor
- Get yourself a firewire deck as well, this will improve your camera life. Get one that does HD and SD so you have room to grow into new formats. Sony makes a decent one.

yeah def. a broadcast monitor for real picture reference and a deck for the main media you are using. If you do lots of commercial broadcast work, might want to invest in a beta deck too. We often get client assets on beta and then have to send them out to get transferred.
