Serge, nice pictures.

There is nothing wrong with the firmware of the controller, if you want 1920*1080 to show up properly you need to set the monitor to anaphormic which is 16:9, instead of "zoom". The "zoom" is not a standard aspect ratio thus why it does not look correct.

That is what you think... but I will show you what we are really have on it from 5D2 signal... I think better to do it in your new thread... so everyone interesting in it have to go there..
 
We received the first few 12V battery adapters, available to order. As the adapter represents an addition to the vDoubler family, it is called vDoubler-SPL; SPL stands for the single plate compact size. It comes in Panasonic, Sony, or Canon configurations. It is rated to provide up to 2A at 12V; just as a point of reference the Manhattan LCD HD089 uses about 1.2A. We also tested the adapter with the SWIT S-1070H monitor which uses even less than that. It can be mounted using several options, a special U-bracket is one of them. The small "fuel gauge" smart LED indicates available battery charge. In our tests here we were getting about 3 hours run time while powering a Manhattan monitor with a HVX style battery. Your mileage will vary, a good new brand name battery could do even better than that. At this point we are not shipping outside CONUS, a larger shipment in July or early August will ship worldwide.
 
We are coming out with new Bright View models of the HD089A and HD089B. We are going to have a special coupons avaliable. $100 off. Stay tuned for coupon code.

The HD089A will be $399 and HD089B will be $499. We also have some new Batteries on the way, $60 each, smaller that Tekkeon with 2-3 hours run time.
 
Great to hear!

So your saying there will be a $300 and $400 monitor after the coupon? Or have you all ready calculated the discount on those prices?
 
Here is the coupon for the HD089A which will bring the price down to $399 which is $100 off.

Coupon # brightview Very limited supply of 10 monitors. Expires 7/10/09

In the future the HD089A with the Brightview panel will receive a new part number. This is an upgraded LCD with higher contrast, brightness, and wider color gumat.

I've read this entire thread, as well as others where the Manhattan LCDs are mentioned, and I'd really like to get one for my 150; I'm concerned about how to mount it, and I'm not sure if I want to mount it on my tripod or on the camera itself.

There was some mention, and some photos of the Noga mounting arms, but no one has said specifically which one they use; I've seen a U-shaped model, which looks like it could mount to the threaded hole in the 150's handle, and the other end to the side or top mount on the monitor. Which model is that?

As far as mounting the monitor on the tripod, is there an arm out there with a clamp on one end, and a threaded end on the other with an elbow or two for flexibility?

I'm just curious as to what mounting setups others who have these monitors are using.

I'm looking at purchasing the HDO89C with the Tekkeon battery setup.

Any other suggestions out there? Thanks.

Hey John, if I purchase a Manhattan LCD Kit can I purchase a Manhattan LCD Lithium Ion battery instead of a tekkeon battery for it?
Would this be everything I need (minus the enclosure) to have a working powered LCD monitor?

Yes, you can purchase the kit + Manhattan LCD LI battery, FYI we only have one of those batteries left.

We are also running coupons on the HD089A and HD089B for 10% off.

Thanks for the quick reply, you've just gained another customer.
By the way i'm not sure if your inventory amount is wrong or not, but you stated theres only 1 battery left. ManhattanLCD is showing you have 8 left.

Yes, Thanks. When the battery is purchased with a monitor, it does not deduct it from inventory, So i have to manual updated the accessorys.
 
Ah, if only I would've held off on ordering the Manhattan LCD kit! Would've been an extra 50 dollars off, hehe.
I barely started building it this weekend so it wouldn't have affected much.
Eh, oh well, monitors coming along great.
