LCD monitor resolution question
I'm looking at possibly adding an external LCD monitor to my camera(s) equipped with DoF adapters. I'm looking at a 7" widescreen and noticed two apparent flavors:
one is 480x234 (and if these are like the el cheapo head-rest DVD player monitors I have, they work but are far from ideal): Amazon.com: Pyle PLVHR75 7'' High Resolution TFT LCD Monitor w//Headrest Frame & Stand Bracket: Electronics While this one says it's 1440x234: SBHCORP.COM - Lanzar SVHR7M 7" TFT-LCD Headrest Monitor which seems to be a very odd resolution (but anything is possible - these could be tall and skinny pixels). Has anyone used anything similar, or are they unusable? Thanks. |
234 lines is slightly worse than regular VHS. I bought a couple of 7" monitors with this resolution and they are useless for focus or color. Composition alone, okay.

Thanks. That's pretty much what I thought. Do you know if the 1440 is real? I've seen this resolution many times but it just seems like a misprint.

Hi Paul,
I'd suggest the Sony DVP-FX820 DVD Player. It Rocks. Also, a bit larger, the Insignia IS-PDVD10 (a 10.2" screen) does nicely. I use both with my HV30 and my TRV920. Harold |

Paul, the SmallHD DP1 is very close to release, and I think it will be the perfect monitor for your needs.
SmallHD.com - 8.9" High Definition - the DP1 |
Many thanks for the replies.
So the 1440 is 480x3 for the RGB - that's rather cheeky, but hardly unexpected. I'll look into the Sony DVP-FX820 and DP1! |
