Transvideo Rainbow 7" vs Boland new 7" vs SmallHD...

Hi all, has anyone tried all 3 high brightness monitors and can say which is the best in his opinion?

I'm looking to replace my Marshall 6.5" monitor and would love some advice...

Thanks!

I have the Cinemonitor hd and I don't even own a hood the thing is so bright (at "user 100%") setting. It's got an amazing level and I upgraded to inertia compensation horizon, which isn't really needed.

There is even a 6" version that they came out with that comes with a brighter screen and the upgraded horizon stock... Couldn't imagine even brighter.

 

However, I used the Transvideo Rainbow when I had to send mine in and I couldn't see anything ... LIKE ANYTHING it was terrible. Had some cool features, but you could really only use it as a AC monitor with a nice hood.

Thanks for your input Dustin!

Im looking for a lighter monitor than the Cinemonitor, even though I'm aware that that is a great piece of equipment.

It's disappointing to hear that the Rainbow is not viewable in sun light situations, guess it's the Boland or SmallHD now...(-;

I have the RainbowHD SBL (High Bright), and haven't had to use a shade with it yet, excellent viewing in all conditions. You'd probably use the high bright mode outdoors, thats what its for. Can't comment on the Boland but I would choose the Transvideo over the SmallHD hands down. (using as an AC monitor).

digital level on transvideo rainbow HD is very well programmed an it works as it should. i heard very bad feedback from smallHD users about their level although i never saw myself. when i mailed small HD about a possible upgrade they said "There is not a firmware upgrade coming to address the horizon indicator. "
