monitors for the dvx

[elgato negroel gato negro]

What's the best and "cheapest" monitor to use while shooting and
checking my footage on my dvx? The smaller the screen, the better.

Sony PVM-9044Q (that's what I use), but it isn't the "cheapest"...

Thanks for the reply. When do you use your sony? During shoots or back at base when your looking at your footage shot ?

incidentally, how much did one of those run you...?

Most of the time I use it in the field...it can be powered by 2 NP-1 batteries. And sometimes for controlling the footage at home, but I prefer using my larger monitor for that.
The 9044Q cost my 250 EUR at a local TV-Station sale (they sold some of their old equipment). New they are something like 1000EUR I think. But if you are lucky u can get one on ebay for a good price.

Id check my dealer /s for a used second hand SD monitor or elsewhere for same. Plenty out there.
