I'd like to collect opinions about the best on-cam or on-tripod HD monitor solutions. There have been many threads but I would like to start a concensus thread. I would prefer a little larger say 7"-9" and the most important thing for me is focus. My aging eyes need all the help I can muster. I prefer the slightly larger sizes as it will also see duty on a crane. All opinions are welcome, but the Panny units at $2000+ are out of my price zone. I'll be using a HPX-170 and or HMC-40 so component and HDMI would be good, no need for SDI-HD.

Brands I would consider are:
Small, though they only have the 5.6" at the moment
Marshall
Others TBD

Thanks in Advance

I would probably look for something in the Marshall line. Very good quality and not nearly as pricey as the Panasonic and built a lot more rugged than the Ikan.
 
I'm thinking about the Small monitor for the opposite reason that are of course. I like the small form for hand held work. I was looking to try it out with a steady cam Merlin because of it's small compact size and weight. But the main reason for getting it is for my shoulder rig. I currently use a borrowed Manhattan monitor which is great, but too bulky. Hopefully the SMALL dp6 will work out.
