Looks like a nice option. LUT support is starting to become almost mandatory on small monitors.

And naturally announced on the day I ordered my 501 kit.

Having a monitor at this price point with LUT support is nice but the reality of a LOG format is it should really be recorded at 10bit. I consider a monitor like this almost a waste of money if it cannot also record 10bit video. That is unless one already has a camera that can record internally at 10bits. Personally I think it makes a lot more sense for 8 bit camera users to invest a little bit more and get a monitor/recorder that supports LUTS. At least as a GH4 user this is my opinion.
