Considering an EVF or Monitor

[swaneon]

I'm looking to spend around $850 and was looking to get a monitor such as the zacutor z finder or the smallhd dp6.
I'm mainly looking to get great color, it seems that the resolution of the dp6 is much greater but the zacuto is small and i have a chinese knockoff optical viewfinder I can attach.
Which do you guys recommend and what are your experiences?

If you're mostly after great color, then the DP6 is not for you.

I'd like something that can give me a pretty good sense of color and exposure, though I think exposure control will help with this

I plan on getting the following. It's the only one I found that still allows for LCD rotation (just one of the very useful perks our GH2 has over other DSLRs).

And the price still leaves a good chunk of your budget for an HDMI monitor.

Looks nice, any video reviews on this? Also what monitor you think is good for the GH2...
thanks

These are good for the GH2, I use one myself, though a proper EVF is better as they have features such as peaking.

Thanks, $249 imo is a little much for this item anyway. $150 max I think I would buy it, but for $250 I would rather save another $200 I can get the SmallHD DP4.

Looks like I have to save a little.

I haven't found one I like yet. They all seem to be made using incorrect 1280 x 800 panels, which stretch the image. I never expected it to be so difficult to find a proper 1280 x 720 HDMI monitor.
