Hi Dave, from the cadassist technical support team, as you know you only need 1080 and not 1200, this monitor looks nice, but its aspect ratio is 16:10 not 16.9 but that shouldn't be a problem as your playback software should be able to maintain the aspect ratio of the orig movie, but you still need a graphics card that can deliver 1920x1080 or 1200 to the samsung, and you state that it will only output that over the hdmi, if the monitor has a hdmi input then you are ok, but it doesnt state it in the specs. you can get dvi to hdmi converters, and I think you can probably get them the other way round too. you can even get USB-DVI monitor dongles for driving additional monitors from your PC (not sure if they support the resolution you need though). A quick call to overclockers should be able to confirm the additional inputs of the monitor your looking at.
