Hi I'm TJ Williams an operator living in Seattle WA USA

I've recently signed a deal to sell the IMP Hummingbird monitor in the US

I have received my IMP MOnitor and am testing it.

This looks to me like the real deal, Large screen, color, very bright.

lots of controls. under-scan, mono or color, menus to control screen, etc.

 

I have a picture taken in full sunlight at midday (yes it does sometimes sunshine in Seattle!) The picture is taken well off the monitors axis with the monitor brightness set at 60 percent. The picture can be clearly seen all around the sun reflection in the middle of the monitor. The image quality is very comparable to my PRO CRT Monitor.

I can't get it to load here so if you are interested in seeing it just E mail me and I will send it to you. along with some spec. info. tjsteadicam@qwest.net.

 

Price list for the current monitor is $3500US Imp will be making a more expensive monitor with bubble and overlays in a more sober case for about 7K list.

 

Weakness of the current monitor include:

1. No bubble or overlays. Although they are available from several third parties.

2. Color washes out in very bright light like sunlight without a hood.

3. At high brightness setting there is quite a noticeable jagging on diagonal lines.

4. The style of the current case although rugged looks like it fell out of a bad SciFi movie. At least its not bright colored.

5. Inputs are 4 pin canon and BNC so your lemo connector etc will not work. You will need a cable with a breakout from your lower box.

6. Of course this is not widely adapted yet, and repair may take some time coming from the UK. I'm working with some local folks and starting to negotiate with IMP to see about in country repair.

 

Strengths INclude:

1. Bright and usable in all conditions without a hood

2. Color

3. Larger screen than the top of the line CRT Green screens

4. Lighter weight and more robust than the CRTs
