I have a Sony HVR-V1U hd video camera after searching high and low I finally found a monitor that works for under $600 dollars first I purchased from Sewell Direct a 7in Xenarc monitor I bought the model TSV -702 bECAUSE IT HAS 1000 NIT MOST monitors only have 400 or 500 this is the brightness level. This particular model has a touchscreen which the Xenarc folks are currenty removing for 30 bucks .Anyways I tried the HD Fury solution of course monitor would not recognize it then tried Mayflash also same problem so after extensive web searching I was lucky enough to find a small box made by AV Tools The AVT-3310, For less than 100 dollars it has s video in and composite video in smaller than a pack of cigarettes and has a vga out which interfaces on my Xenarc monitor uses a 3.3 volt power source very sophisticated box it upconverts s video to 800x600 and 1024x 768 and 1280x1024 actually a small recessed switch allows you to choose either SVGA,XGA OR SXGA LOOKS FANTASTIC ON A 7IN MONITOR THE BOX CAN BE FOUND AT AVTOOLS ON LINE .I NOTIFIED THE FOLKS AT AV tools and Xenarc and needless to say they were very excited about my discovery. Check the resolution of the expensive Marshall field monitors 800x480 and cost prohibited my monitor has a 18 month warranty 16x9 or 4x3 lots of bells and whistles the tech rep said it would greatly reduce glare if I removed the touch screen hope you folks looking for a great LOWCOST hd monitor look ito this the resolution I am able to view is SVGA 800X600 XGA 1024X768 AND SXGA 1280X1024 XENARC ALSO SELLS A CHEAPER VERSION WITH 500 NIT WITH VGA CABLE www.sewelldirect.com www.XENARC.COM and http://www.avtoolbox.com/upconpage.shtml
