I am looking to a decent field monitor. HD of course, but then again, do I need HD? Also I need an 16:9 as well right? Thanks for the help. Of course bigger is better, but I have like $1,500.00
 
We bought the Marshall 7"Monitor VR70PHDA for about $1,400. Lots of threads on this monitor on this board. We are very happy with it and it will run all day on one IDX Endura 10S Battery.
 
Man, is 7" as big as we can get for 1400? man.... There are Sony monitors 20" for 800 bucks these days
 
Yes, but if you look at those $800 Sony monitors on B&H they only have 250 lines of resolution. That certainly won't serve you very well.
 
It seems that is a medical monitor and only has 600 lines of resolution. Again it would do dis-service to the HVX. IMHO.

I know it would, I am not saying I was going to buy. I was stating that we are getting gouged with this price on a 7" :)
 
I always see on film Set one of these monitors. I would think that we can get an HD cheaper than what the 7" is selling. If you are shooting is Pakastan and are running From gun fire then I would say yea power, and weight might be an use.. RUN!!!!

But my point was size. I will be Shooting some 51 min instructional DVD about 20 of them, and I am building a set and want something static. and big , but again I thought price would be better than this. :)
 
You should check out either of these. I know a ton of people on here have the 17" including myself and are very happy with it.

Plus the 17" fits very nicely in the Pelican 1550 case for transport and will be around $600 for monitor and case.
 
a production monitor will work perfectly fine in the field but the main difference between a production monitor and a field monitor is the field monitor generally has a handle on the top and can be powered via DC , because of this they are normally smaller. If you have access to constant power and don't really have to move the monitor you could probably find something cheaper for viewing HD or at least with a bigger screen for the price
 
okay so I need a Productions monitor. THFilms: You said a lot of people have these. How do they preform out in the field. and how would these compare to the CRT kind?

Comparring to http://cgi.ebay.com/SONY-PVM-20M2U-...ryZ21517QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Sony PVM-20M2U 20" Trinitron Monitor.
This is a fantastic monitor with many available ins/outs and options. Does both 4:3 and 16:9.

Accepts multi formats, NTSC, PAL, SECAM in Composite, Y/C and RGB/COMPONENT formats.

The Sony MFM-HT95 HDTV Ready Flat Panel LCD PC/TV Display that THFilms referenced is 1280x1024 and looks good. That's the sort of resolution I would want on location. The Sony PVM-20M2U that SurJones mentioned is still just 600 lines of resolution.

we've used both the Panny 8" and 17".
Both work well...but there is no comparison to the 17".
And it takes AC/DC....just can't beat it.....great to light to...
and the image just blows the clients away.
 
Varizoom has an 8" HD panel coming out with native Panasonic battery support for around the same price as the Marshall. Looks like a good screen. Supposed to be available sometime next week.
