FInally looking to buy a monitor for my productions. I normally shoot club events and Music Videos on the go. I use a 60d but ran into some extra cash & thought an external monitor could be helpful. Any comments regarding this are greatly appreciated


Thanks
 
One line is all I need. :D

Seriously, though. The SmallHD is a perfect fit for DSLR shooting. It's packed with features that suit the DSLR shooter well. Marshall makes a good monitor, to be sure. But I'd go with SmallHD.
 
Thank You!! My decision now is the Dp6 or the new Dp4 with the viewfinder that just came out.

Few things I noticed about the DP4. When you change the menu settings or you have some other white text/shapes on the screen, those will "burn" on the screen and dissappear in 2-3 minutes. First image you can see the I'm in record mode and Canon's white box have burned on the screen. Second image is maybe 10 seconds after closing the brightness menu:

You can see those in normal light conditions too. Don't know if this is typical for other displays too. There are four small light leaks too on the bottom of the screen. Those can be seen on normal light conditions too.
 
question. im a smallHD dp1 owner. so im not trying to kill a sale. but since the 60d sends out an SD signal while recording. wouldnt it be as useful to get an SD monitor - unless youre just using it for playback?

The Small Hd screen is higher resolution & A+ quality. It also makes the image from the 60d, 5d etc. fill the whole screen. Looking at videos & everyone that one , will tell you that the image quality is amazing and second to none.
 
The only thing that is keeping me from pulling the trigger on the dp6 is color accuracy. The marshall is known for its dead-on color while a few reviews of smallhd says its image is yellowish.

I'm don't know which one to buy :(
Help me please.

and i have to say. anyone who has to ask about budget monitors would probably never even notice the difference (myself included)
