Just wanted to get some feedback on the pros, cons of these two LCDs. I'm in the market for a onboard monitor for operating, lighting off of, and focus.

The DP4 is tempting because of price, and HDMI loop thru, but the higher resolution, and screen size of the DP6 is also attractive.

Let me know your thoughts.
 
the 4 starts to approach "too small to judge"
depends on what you want to carry around. i have their original dp1 and love it!
 
I used a DP1 and was vastly disappointed by its video quality. very noisy and kinda nasty. Granted we didn't have a whole lot of time to set it up, but it certainly wouldn't be my first choice in monitors.

that being said, I have heard that the DP6 is magnitudes better, but I have not used it personally.
 
I was going through this just recently ... for my first external monitor I actually decided to go with the Marshall 5"

lower resolution but half the price ...

the DP4 was something I'd like more after I have my first monitor, but not as my main monitor. The DP6 is really nice, but for the price I couldn't justify it when I could spend that money (personally) towards other things I also ordered, like a new tripod and zacuto z-finder.

After reading many reviews I found that many people find the color in marshall's line to be more true then the smallHD, and I've wanted a smallHD since they popped up on the scene .. and maybe down the line will finally invest in one ...

but that's where my research and reasoning left me.
