7" field monitor search is over:
Long time Searching and researching the internet for a 7" LCD/LED field monitor and the search is finally over. The monitor I was searching for had to be light weight, have good brightness, contrast, Clarity, sharpness and have good color reproduction, good viewing angles and HDMI input.
Last week I found the monitor that fits my criteria. I was willing to spend upto $600 dollars but the monitor I found was under $200.00 dollars and I was not disappointed. This monitor far exceeds my expectation.
The monitor I purchased was a lilliput model #5d-iih I paid just under $200 with delivery from Amazon but today's price was just over $200. still a great buy. Lilliput makes dozens of different field monitors but only 4 models come with 1024x600 HD LCD panels. Depending on which of the 4 models you choose you could spend as much as $350 dollars or more. The unit I purchased is the lowest price one and here are some of the features I gave up on this lower price unit that are available on the higher price monitors.
HDMI out, Peaking Focus Filter, False color Filter, Zebra Exposure, Brightness Histogram. If you have a need for any of these features then you will need to move up to a different model. By the way all 4 of Lilliput HD models have the same 1024x600 LCD/LED panel so you are not sacrificing picture quality on the lower model. Keep this in mind when search the internet that as of this writing Lilliput's HD field monitor model numbers start with 5D-iixxx. If the model number does not start with 5D-ii it will most likely have a 800x480 LCD panel.
Like I said earlier this field monitor exceeds my expectation. The clarity, contrast, brightness, colors are very good if not better then any CRT monitor I have ever used. This field monitor has no artifacts when panning like some monitors. No blooming. No burn out on high brightness. What you see is what you get. The color reproduction is very good. Focusing my Sony HDR-AX2000 with this monitor makes it very easy. If you are in the market for a field monitor this might be the one for you. Here are the specifications taken from the website I purchased my Lilliput field monitor from:
