I have a Hercules XP and a budget 17" Viewsonic 7 monitor. The combination works well and the 24 bit display is first class. I looked at the NEC which is a well packaged product but I have no regrets yet. My problems in getting a decent video recording have appeared in these columns recently and I have still not resolved them. The current theory is that the XP does not produce a correct PAL signal. I expect the NTSC output has been well tested but I would beg, steal or borrow a complete recording set up before committing your budget. I would estimate my time to date on this problem as over 100 hours total. Very educational. But be warned, your dealer will probably be learning from your experiences!
