Value for Money

This has to be one of the best value monitors for the money.
I purchased this for a project i was doing as I needed a small monitor to evaluate my footage as I was filming on my DSLR.
I was using the Lumix G5 (REVIEW HERE) which unfortunately does not support live view through the HDMI port of the camera when you are filming.
It does support review of footage after it has been filmed so this was still ok for my needs.


The monitor has safe zones on the screen with cross hairs in the center also if you wish that can be turned on or off. The monitor also supports reg green blue and black and white if you need that for preview. It supports HDMI input, VGA, AV input and output. This is fantastic for this price.. All of the monitors I looked at were around 200 plus so to find this one on amazon for this price was amazing. I didn't have a large budget to spend either so this did the job more than adequately

Power and accessories

What also surprised me was what came in the box as I didn't really expect much for this price and it was a pleasant surprise to find so many added extras. There was a battery pack that can be mounted to the back or the monitor if you wish, unfortunately it didn't come with any screws to fit it but I did already have some about the place. If you have to use your own screws make sure they are not to long!
It also comes with a mains adapter.

It came with a couple of mounting options so it can be mounted. the screw thread is on the bottom of teh monitor but in the menu you can flip the display so you can mount it upside down also if you
wish.

There is also a shade that can protect the monitor from the sun and make viewing much easier, this attached via Velcro so can be removed easily if needed.

Conclusion 9/10

Why did i choose 9/10 well i beleive this product to be fantastic value for money, most of the monitors offering the same spec are double this price and now that newer cameras are coming with WIFI enabled it is getting more likely that people will start to use there phones or tablets for live view instead. if the camera supports it!

Pros

1. value for money
2. build quality
3. accessories in the box
4. battery included to allow it to be mobile.
5. included sunshade

Cons

1. mounting option a little thin and possably easy to strip thread if heavy handed
2. no off button and stays in standby al the time. this can reduce battery life. ( rectified by removing battery or power plug)
3. display not as crisp as others in higher price range.
4. Not as sharp as some and may give issues for really sharp focusing manualy

Overall a fantastic buy for the money.
