Topic: LCD4Video 7" monitor = $160 (Read 2056 times)

I just bought this monitor from http://www.lcd4video.com for $160, and it seems to be pretty decent so far. Maybe some of you have seen it on eBay already, or maybe you've even discussed it in another thread. But I didn't see it, so here it is for discussion. Disclaimer: I'm really new at this stuff, so I have no idea how it differs from the expensive "pro" monitors, but it sure works well for me. I did buy a Bescor battery belt to power it, but now I want to buy a battery that will be attached to the sled. I'm probably going to buy the Li-Ion batteries that Phil Kindred recommends in the battery forum. ($10 each! plus $17 s&h on ebay). For what it's worth.... |

Did you get that shade? What is it made of? I'm still looking for one I like.  |

Didn't you make one from a pot pie tin? Or something like that.

I don't know why, but I don't like Hoodman. Maybe I should look again. Chuck--just for fun, I made one from a microwave dinner tray, but it wasn't quite right. Maybe I should try the deluxe dinners.  |

LOL That's what it was. The deluxe dinner sounds good. Mayby they could use it for that TV show "Movie and a Dinner" |

I bought the Office Depot shade: a large sheet of black cardboard.  Although that part above is true, I never went through constructing it. Instead, I bought the Varizoom shade from B&H ($20). It was a little small, since my monitor has a 6" screen instead of 5.6", so I just cut off the bottom and added some new velcro attachments. Does it work? Well, I need to quit being lazy and actually go SHOOT something someday soon to find out.  I'll let ya know! |

Drew, now that you have used it awhile, what are your impressions of the monitor? I am considering on going that route and any feedback will be appreciated.
