What are people using as far as a waveform monitor with the Red?

I like the Panasonic BT-LH900 8.4" onboard monitor with it's little built-in waveform monitor. Sure it is no where near as accurate as a $7000 Evertz, but remember that the HDSDI outputs on the Red are only showing an arbitrary down-rez from 4K anyway.

You run some tests, learn how the levels on the waveform equate to the levels in the 4K raw file, and go from there.

Another great benefit of that monitor is the built-in zoom. Combined with the zoom button on the camera, it makes focus a breeze!

I used the Panasonic BT-LH900 a lot and like it. But: Useless outside, it's pretty dark and too glossy in IMO. Haven't found an alternative yet.
