As I get older (in my 60's) my eyes are getting progressively worse and I need larger screens. I've been using a 7-inch monitor for a while and it works for what I need, but I've been wanting to try a 10-inch monitor. Finally got a little extra money and bought one off eBay for $90 shipped. It did not come with a power source, so I had to order that separately.
I ended up getting this one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/10-FHD-LED...-w-Case-For-Raspberry-Pi-PS3-PS4/282929136301
With this power adapter: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Battery-Ad...nitors-and-for-Sony-F970-Battery/141906301939
The monitor has a tripod mount on the bottom, so I put it on my magic arm. With the power adapter, I can keep using my Sony NPF batteries and so far it looks great and works. It's not a camera monitor, so no camera functions, but for focus pulling it's super helpful for this old man.
One caveat, the monitor does not support the screws that come with the battery adapter, so I had to run to the hardware store and get some screws that fit. Otherwise, so far, so good.
