Best Head-Mounted Video Display for Camerawork?

[grjohnson]

I'm looking for recommendations for a functional HMD to use on location shoots. The LCD viewfinder on my HPX170 camera is almost useless when doing outdoor shooting in strong sunlight. I have tried using a shade hood, which helps, but does not give the camera operator a clear view of what the camera sees. I'm thinking that something like video glasses, which can take the HD video feed off the camera, would be the ideal solution? Doe anyone use such and can make you a recommendation? Thanks

Thanks for the suggestion. I checked out the Sony and it is overkill for what I need, plus it will not take a composite video input. I need a device which can directly accept and display the composite 16:9 video output from the camera. I like the OLED display specs, but this device is not compatible to my requirement. I'll check out your other suggestions too. Again, thanks.
