Ok so.. from what Ive gathered. The t2i does not monitor HD while recording, so the only reason to purchase , lets say a Marshall monitor (apart from having a bigger screen, SD none the less for recording purposes) would be as an investment for a future upgrade from the t2i.
So I was wondering if it was possible to connect the t2i to my macbook pro , via hdmi , and then hdmi to mini dvi adapter (since apple refuses hdmi -___-) and use it as an external display, to get the benefits of a bigger screen. This would obv be for tripod shots where I could have my laptop on a high table or something next to the cam.
Does it sound like a big mess? Thoughts?
