Premium Members John E Fry Posted April 18, 2012 Premium Members Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 Hi Andrew, Yes it certainly does look like that Swit thing - & at 400 cd/m I think I'll keep saving for that Cinetronic... Having said that, I'm edging more & more towards the Marshall 7" LCD70XHB SDI, which, at 800 cd/m is double the brightness of the Swit, but for much less than double the price - with no compromises (unless you count lack of HDMI as a bad thing!) Anyone tried this Marshall on their rig? For my Flyer LE & occasional EFP use it's not worth a Cinetronic, as nice as that would be, as I wouldn't get the return on it. could stretch to the Marshall though. Good idea? Any new contenders at NAB? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any new contenders at NAB? I've been using this exact monitor since 2010 on my Pro sled. I love it and it's served me well. My only issues are that it stinks in direct sunlight, it's very light, and even though there's a battery mount on the back it's not centered, so my monitor bracket is slightly offset when I add a brick to it for extra weight.

Premium Members John E Fry Posted April 18, 2012 Premium Members Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 Thanks Dean, I'm pretty sold on this monitor, both for Steadicam and on camera monitoring, but was wondering how it fared in direct sunlight. The 6.5" transflective Marshall is supposed to be better, but it's only 4:3 & I do absolutely nothing that would benefit from a 4:3 screen. Useful to know about the battery mount offset too, as I find I'm adding weight to the monitor side quite often. Anyway, I guess this is really a discussion for the 'monitors' section! Thanks though!
