Looking for smallish client monitor for those infrequent shoots when i have 2 cameras rolling as B-cam client monitor.
Ideally it would have SDI and HDMI in.
Currently i have Panasonic 17in monitor which is great.

Let me know your recommendations!
 
Speaking of DP6, isn't it too warm to be a client monitor ?
I use mine for framing and nail the focus but I can't get good color of it...
wanna share your settings Grant ?
 
We have about 12 of these and they are decent monitors:

If you want to rack mount it, the rack mount ears need to be cut so that some screw heads will fit. If you take the screw out so the ears fit the panel will be loose in the chassis. Kind of a hassle but not that bad in the scheme of things. A hand operated sheet metal nibbler takes care of the issue pretty quickly. If you want something better, these definitely have better tone/color reproduction and can be calibrated:

We have two of them, but haven't bought the calibration tool yet. No problems with the rack mounts on this one.

I hadn't thought about it in those terms, if your client has a professional eye and is worried about the color at that moment, I suppose there is truth to your statement. Having said that, I wouldn't be ashamed of it either, maybe with a qualifier that the color of the finished project would be somewhat different.
