I just received this monitor and have used it on one shoot: https://www.coollcd.com/669ah-7-inch-tft-lcd-vga-monitor-no-touchscreen-hdmi-dvi_p670.html.
Coollcd, were great, they responded to email and shipped quickly. I placed my order Friday night and received my 8″ monitor Tuesday.
The first thing I did was connect it to my Mac to view color bars. It only has brightness and contrast controls, no hue or saturation. I never use field monitors to set color anyway, although it might be nice getting it a bit closer, but after setting up to bars I was surprised at how well I could judge exposure. I would get it to where I thought it looked good and stop down half a stop. Works great.
Picture quality is OK, certainly good enough for focus and composition. For the price this seems to be a no brainer.

Chuck, how are you mounting and powering this thing? Does it work well for pulling focus–i.e., is it sharp?
