    Are there any true native 1080p field monitors out there between 7-8 inches? I looked everywhere and can't find one. I'm not even sure if it's possible to fit a 1080 image in such a small screen? If anyone could lead me to a link I would appreciate it. Thanks

    John,

    Yes there are 7" 1080p Monitors out there. Had one on our camera today in prep. I'll write down the name tomorrow. It has nice controls too, adjustable focus assist, similar to REDs 1:1 focus assist but you can scale it. Powered by an AB battery on back.

    Tomorrow.

    I actually don't think there are native 1920x1080 7" panels commonly available.

    There are 1280x800 panels in that size that are commonly available (or soon) like the SmallHD DP7 Pro though...

    You're going to really love the DP7. SmallHD is solid... you won't be disappointed.

    The 7" monitor is called TV Logic LVM-074W

    It is not 1080p as I was told by the first AC.

    John,

    Check out Boland...I think these are native spec'd as you are looking for.

    http://www.bolandcom.com/index.php?o...d=135&Itemid=1

    I don't have the spec off-hand, but we have a 7-ish that we use as a field monitor....It is a freakin' work horse...We use it in a variety of remote locations - Bahama's, Belize, DR, etc. We bought a hood for it for "high noon" sunlight when shooting exteriors. Works equally well in the studio - Red Epic Houston, etc.

    We attach it to a tripod and tether it to the camera with about 10' of cord...

    Knock on wood! we have had for over 7 years (the older model) -- the picture is awesome and it handles the heat pretty well. We find we have to significantly shade it when it gets over 105 degrees ambient temp in the tropics -- not much experience with it in cold wx.

    If you end up liking it, shoot me a PM and I can send you a few bts field pix if I can find them...
