Using 7" LCD TV for monitor

[totitefilms]

Has anyone tried using the 7" LCD TV for external monitor? I found some models at Bestbuy and Sears and would like to know if this LCD TV can be used as the external monitor

It says it has a composite input, so you can feed it video.

You can, but probably it is a composite monitor i.e. not so sharp and hard to focus on it when using HD.
My camera is a Sony EX3 with component HD out.
I have a 15" viewsonic HD tv with VGA/HDMI/Component/Svideo/Composite. Pal&Ntsc
I am using a component/HDMI transmitter/receiver with it. Need to buy a Remote Follow Focus unit to be complete.
I also have a 10" HD monitor for my Jib. It was a kit for 350 us$.
It is very sharp. The color Green is weak on it, but if you know, what the hack.
It has HDMI and Component and is also PAL/NTSC 24p/25p/30p/50i/60i

Thanks for the info guys! Does anyone know if the resolution of this TV is good enough for focusing?

The native resolution is pretty low...I'd say it's good enough for viewing footage, i.e. for directors monitor.

I actually have this montior. For SD, it's great for everything, but HD you really need an HD monitor for focusing. For tracking action and such though, it's great!
