Any recommendations for an LCD monitor (hi res if possible) to mount on top of the XH-A1s for getting a better view of composed shots, especially since I hope to rig up a selective focus Letus 35mm adapter system to an A1. I am on a budget, it is getting out of control adding up the cost of my soon to be shopping spree for a Letus adapter system, case for it, XH-A1s, and now a top mounted LCD monitor.

I hear ya Randall, I too don't want to spend 1300 bucks on a Marshall LCD when there are other ones out there that should work for less.

I haven't purchased one yet, but I've been looking into this Manhattan LCD which is supposed to be good.

There is a thread about it here:

From what I hear it is a pretty good deal for the price. It has both component and HDMI inputs.

Another one that looks really nice: http://www.smallhd.com/index.php
The problem is their order page doesn't seem to work.

Another way to spend less, you could always purchase a 200 to 300 dollar 19-20 inch HD LCD TV or computer monitor from Best Buy or any electronics store. As long as it has component inputs then it would serve the same purpose. The downside is that you won't be able to mount in on the A1's accessory shoe.
