Hi,
Doesn't look like Costco carries it anymore. Here's a link to it at B&H. Its nice because it has 2 component inputs so I keep one connected to the computer and the other to the cable for the camera. Keep in mind that this monitor is not native 1080 but its scaling works pretty well and letting the Parhelia scale down to 720 to this monitor works great. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/cont...goryNavigation Mick Guzauski |

Thanks, Mick,
Funny, but just yesterday I was in Costco again and found the Samsung being displayed. Go figure. My Parhelia is not here yet (most of the other components have arrived). Do you know if the Parhelia could scale to the native resolution of the Samsung, 1366x768? Joe Clark |

Hi,
The Parhelia scales very well to the resolution of the monitor. I think the motion is smoother if you let the card scale down rather than have it output 1080 and let the monitor scale down. Mick Guzauski |

Dual corewise, I just got an Opteron 165 which is a 939 socket opteron. These are dual core and have 2MB cache for a lot less than the x2 4400 (same cache). Since it is a server cpu is tested more and can usually be overclocked better and with more stability according to a lot of the overclocking forums.
I also just got and evga 7800gt video card which comes with a component out cable and dual dvi ports and just ordered an Acer 24" lcd monitor which seems to be running about $800 right now. Worth looking into.

Parhelia Availability
I'm suddenly having trouble finding the PCI-Express version of the Parhelia. Anyone know where I can find it?
As for the nVidia, does it allow you to drive the DVI monitors and a component monitor at the same time? That's the draw of the Parhelia. Videoguys has a good deal on the nVidia card, but it won't do that. |

I can report that the evga 7800gt nvida card works for component HDTV 1080i out to my direct view CRT HD TV and there is no delay while scrubbing the timeline in PremPro with Cineform.
I don't need the three monitor setup as yet so I have not tested that.

Well I just captured 30 minutes of video from a sony hdr fx1 using my new opteron 165 dual core system. Not overclocked on this test so it is taking the 1.8ghz speeds an extra 14 minutes to convert to the intermediate.
Oh, the 14 minutes was the estimated time listed in the cineform conversion window - I did not clock what the actual time was but will on next test. Not so great, but this is just my first test. Quote:

I just got my activation number for AspectHD and have been enjoying capturing and editing with Premiere. This is a great combination. |

If you're still following the thread, I have the Parhelia and can't get it to display on the HDTV monitor. The two LCD's work fine, but nothing on the HDTV display. Do you remember having to do anything special to get the display? There's a plug-in on the Matrox disk for Premiere, but David Newman says it shouldn't even be necessary. My next stop is Matrox support, but they won't be answering it seems until next week. Thought you might have some thoughts, since your setup is so similar to mine. |

Question 1: Is your HDTV set up as your second monitor then? Question 2: Do all 7800s offer component out or are you refering to the DVI port? Question 3: What motherboard are you running the Opteron on? Thanks, -- John. |

I am running the evga nforce4 sli motherboard. Newegg and other dealers are offering a combo deal when you buy both of these products together.
