What external monitors are people using on the HVX200? I am looking for something preferably Full HD & a decent size, say 5inch or bigger.
Any thoughts on what is available?
Cheers Pete.
 
It depends on what you want to spend, If you want a low priced cheap monitor thats built well and has a decent image( but not easy to properly calibrate) get the lilliput. If you want a great monitor with a great build, get a high end marshall,manatten, iM not a fan of Ikan, had lots of issues with their monitors breaking down on shoots, and will never give them another chance. oh yeah, in your case I would go with a monitor that has component for obvious reasons, Im not a fan of the component>hdmi adapters.
 
there are all kinds of options out there. maranfilms mentioned several of the more popular ones. different people have different experiences with ikan. ive used a variety of their stuff (lights, monitors, rigs) over the years and never had and any major issue. i know them pretty well personally and they admit to some issues in the past, but they've taken steps to improve their processes in the last couple of years.

personally, i'd look into smallhd:

i have their original dp1 and ive been quite pleased with it. super build quality, great image.

Well, you have to factor in that many of the new monitors support HDMI and/or HD-SDI. The HVX200 has neither. If you want an external monitor for the HVX200, you'll have to look for a monitor that supports analog component input. Not all of them do, so be sure to put that feature on your shopping list.
 
I got the ToteVision 7" for the HVX back then and really would like to sell it, but I´m in Europe:(
Anyways, maybe some Aussie is selling it on ebay, great monitor, for many it beat the then "standard" Marshall 7" image wise...

And just one thing: The HVXs component cable is a POS, to be more precise the camera side locking port...
