Would these work?
« on: October 04, 2005, 10:20:28 PM »

I really thought this was a cheap alternative, but maybe too good to be true?

http://cgi.ebay.ca/Lilliput-TFT-2-5-LCD-Color-Monitor-DC280_W0QQitemZ5815808776QQcategoryZ14946QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem#ebayphotohosting

They are only 2.5 inch, but they are light weight and have A/V jacks on them.  Any ideas?

err, uh, work for what exactly? A normally configured stabilizer? Well, I wouldn't think so. For starters I think 2.5" is way to small to accurately judge your framing at any normal rig viewing distance. At least for me it would be. Second the res is so small I cant see focusing with it even if it were an inch from your nose. And third, I suspect the NIT rating is so low that it wold basally impossible to see in any daylight environment. I'm not sure of your configuration but I think you'll be happier in the end looking for a decent 4-5" model.

Yeah, the more I looked at it the more it made sense to get another one.  Thanks for the reply.
Are there any good sources for these now that DVD LCD for cars are getting cheaper and cheaper?

I'm not famelier with any of the consumer monitor retailers having never really shopped them. I use Nebtek, Marshall and Sony myself. Perhaps one of the other members could ring in here with some advise.

I'm personally going for a Lilliput, which is the same manufacturer you linked to above. Get a big one though, because those tiny little things have no good use. I'm getting an 8" personally. According to Mikko, they're pretty good in daylight acutally.

And to Kevin, lucky duck on being able to use pro monitors. I prefer Panasonics though. Wink
