Which LCD monitor hooks directly to Canon 7d?

I was curious as to what people are using to review footage in the field. Is there a small monitor that can hook up to the Canon 7d which can also be used while shooting?
Thanks
 
Any monitor with an HDMI input will be able to connect to a 7D or T2i or 5DII. This can be anything from a professional field monitor to your average Best Buy HDTV or even a computer monitor with HDMI or DVI(via adapter).
 
There is one minor caveat, however. The T2i and the 5D both switch to 480p while recording. Many monitors don't support this. It's not an issue with the 7D, however, since it always sends 1080i through the HDMI-out, whether recording or not.
 
I'm using my Manhattan LCD with my 7D and I just have one question. What the hell is up with the 16x9 picture in a 4x3 frame? When using my HPX170, the monitor shoes everything and yet with the 7D, I feel robbed of my picture.
 
Hey carlos, if you hit the info button a couple of times with the monitor connected it will scroll from 4:3 to 16:9 I have the same monitor and I was pissed off! it's a little better but not yet full sreen.. close enough.

When i originally got my marshall monitor, this scared the bejesus out of me. Thought i was going to only get half of the monitor's resolution when shooting. Then pressed info a few times to see it stretch out a bit more. Phew...
