Q: thunderbolt to hdmi quality for monitoring video?
Hello---I was wondering: can I get optimum picture quality using a Thunderbolt to HDMI adapter + HDMI cable connecting to a LCD or LED computer monitor? This would be through a MacBook Pro. I'm editing video, and want to be sure I'm getting great resolution, color, contrast, brightness. Thanks!
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.8), 2.3 GHz Intel Core i7

That'll basically extend it so that the TV is another computer display. Not really suited for monitoring video.
Look at the AJA T-Tap that converts TB to HDMI for $299: http://www.aja.com/en/products/t-tap/#overview
(I played with one for a while and it was great!)
Or the Blackmagic Ultrastudio Mini Monitor that does it for $150: http://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/ultrastudio/
(I've yet to test this...soon).
