well that was kind of just about my plan!
Excellent! And affordable!
Thank you Bernhard!
Then again... I've been thinking about getting a thunderbolt display as well. Do I understand correctly then that I would need both the Mini monitor and an HDLink? And the feed would be interlaced on the monitor?
A bit more expensive solution but I could use the extra workspace from the second monitor instead of an LCD...

The most convenient solution would be to connect a TV-set via HDMI.
signal:Every (good) HD TV-set does de-interlace the fields into frames well; as does HDLink.
The HDLink does, what the processor of a TV-set does and a computer display lacks.
BUT: TV sets are designed to playback the correct frame rates. HDLink converts frame rates;
in the best case it forces the display to playback the original video frame rate (EDID-overwrite).
connections:I don't know if the HDLink3D (the box You need then) could feed a Thunderbolt display
via a DisplayPort to MiniDisplayPort cable. Furthermore (IF it works):
Since the
Apple Thunderbolt Display has only one input, You would need to change cabling every time You use the display as display and not as 'TV' and vice versa...
For my taste too many IFs and THENs... 
So I would get
- a BMD MiniMonitor
- a video monitor (TV-set)
- a computer Display
Far less headache
Best regards,
Bernhard
P.S.: ever tested FCP's
Desktop Preview on a second display?
