These are higher quality and resolution than many monitors that cost just a couple hundred less. You can actually focus with them. Always look at the resolution when seeking competitive LCD's. These have a res of 480x230. Here is a direct Panasonic link for more info:
i bought a portableDV player for 200 at amazon. it has analogue in, so it is great as a 16:9 framer. the colours are unreliable on these cheap ones, but it helps to get more people to see what goes on and to frame a squeeze mode.
