5-9" LCD camera monitor solutions

[johnhafner]

Anyone got a good suggestions? I need an articulation arm mounted LCD to monitor during dollys etc.

I was thinking of trying this 9" battery powered LCD. It has a 800x480 resolution. It's only $130 and takes a composite input. I'll need an HDMI to composite adapter, cant' be impossible to find that.

I am usually very happy with my 24" 1080p monitor but there are times when this would be nice. Should I just get a lower res 7"

Ideally I could find a 720p 7" monitor.

Anyone got a better idea?

Ikan V8000 HDMI, 8" battery powered 800 x 480 production monitor with HDMI, S-Video, Component (BNC), and Composite (BNC) in, and I think it's on clearance somewhere for $350 or so...(used to be like $800...)

I would love to know where you've seen the Ikan V8000HDMI for that price. The lowest price I'm able to find is around $700

These are the two makers of 720p field monitors in a decent price range that I know of. 9" though.

Clint says they have just a few left as of 11/2 so they may be out..

Oh and my mistake, this is the HD not the HDMI...so no HDMI input, component BNC and composite BNC and S Video though...

I'm about to pull the trigger on this one: http://www.coollcd.com/619ah-7-inch-tftlcd-vga-monitor-no-touchscreen-hdmi-new_p634.html

...and this battery: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330362839509&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

Just giving it a bit more time to see if anyone sounds off about how bad it is...

According to their website, it supports a max of: "High Resolution: 800*480 RGB(800*480*3=1,152,000pixels)" so it's not actually HD, despite their proclamations of "Screen supports MAX 1920*1440 resolution." haha don't you just love advertising

Well, I went in to that one with my eyes wide open. I'm hoping 1080 will look good on a 7" screen in the same way it does on a 32" 720 LCD. IOW, getting smaller usually sharpens things up. At any rate, I ordered one last night...
