advice in purchasing a on camera monitor
I am starting to tire of trying to hope things come out well in the post while using my HVX200 LCD monitor. Using the viewfinder isn’t that practical when the camera is on a rack or rails.
I would like to go as cheap as possible without sacrificing too much. In this post I say the Marshal V-LCD70p and looked it up. I noticed it had an XLR jack, I assume for sound. Personally I can use headphones.
Here is an IKAN: Good lateral, but lacking in verticle. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/604700-REG/Ikan_V5600_V5600_5_6_LCD_Monitor.html
I am hoping to find something in the 800 dollar range. I have spent so much money upgrading MACs, that I am about tapped out.
Since I edit on a cine display, can You FW out of a MAC and use the little monitor for color correction? I am planning in getting an MXO2 and may use that as the output to monitor.
Cheers.

This should be in your price range if you just get component inputs and it can be powered with Panasonic batteries (or other options. There are a couple of speciality modes that help with exposure and focus. I don’t have this but I saw it at NAB and was very impressed.

I will look at the specs later tonight. Do you have experience with this one? How well does it focus in 720? Those red lines for focus: can they be used for 1080….. not that I shoot a lot of 1080.
Sorry, now that I looked at it again, the XLR is for camera battery power. I can’t see the side pics up close. That port looks a little small to be an HDMI in. Would it be FW 4 pin?
Cheers.

Not sure what you are asking in the last paragraph, like I said I just looked at the monitor at NAB, was very impressed. The monitor works with 720 or 1080 and it does have 1:1 pixel mode, so you don’t see the entire image but it gives you a great way to do critical focusing the normal way.
I don’t have a dog in this fight, but the price is in the $800 for the non SDI and panasonic battery model, it was be the one will I get when production picks up.
