Hi Thomas,

That's a real nice conversion... Do you want a job working for us?
We did one recently for Rion Gonzales in Canada, but he wanted the PRO Box addition as well.

There is one thing I think everyone should consider before buying a Lilliput (I have posted this reply in other discussion circles as well):

This is just to correct some of the discussions I've seen on the forum about the Lilliput 7" monitor. I took some time looking into this and verifying all the facts before posting. Because if what I was reading was true, I definitely wanted to add these monitors to our product list. Unfortunately... it was not.

None of the Lilliput 7" monitors have close to a million pixels. The highest they have is 384,000. When they give the RGB at 1.1 million they are talking about dots. Three dots (red, green and blue) equal one pixel. Any company saying 1.1 million pixels RGB is trying to mislead the consumer as to the true resolution of the monitor by listing dots as pixels. Take the 1.152 million figure and divide by three... your back at 384,00 pixels.

Unfortunately I am beginning to see an alarming trend develop. Even large corporations (like Panasonic) are beginning to use this listing in order to not have their product look inferior to their competitors. It does not mean that there is any better resolution... it is way of mis-representiong itself as something it is not.

By the way, we compared a top of the line Lilliput 7" to the Panasonic for 3 days straight. Although it had a very nice picture it still looked soft in comparison to a "Panny".

I bought the Panasonic TC-7WMS1 from NebTek. It is equiped with a Canon battery mount and the image is very clear - for me ideal for focussing.

They also supply a nice bracket which fits in the hotshoe.

I am truely impressed with this LCD.

Hi Nico,

Thanks for the good word... contact me if you ever need anything else.

Hi Rob,

I did not realize that you also cruise along this forum. Good to hear from you - my LCD works like a dream - sending you e-mail.

I bought the Canon HC-3200 system case for the XL2 and the LCD fits perfectly as well as all my other assesories - even the 3x wide angle lens!!

Regards,


Nico

Hi Rob
 
Thanks for the job offer but I think there a few thousand miles to much to come to work in time every morning. Anyway I am not any longer pleased with the quality of the Liliput Monitor. I have done a lot of outdoor work in the last month. I think now the Liliput picture is not bright enough. I am thinking about buying the panasonic hopefully without paypal problems HaHaHa. (insider joke)

Greetings from Germany

Hi Thomas,

Just think of the exercise you'll get from a swim like that 5 days a week.

I'm sorry to hear about the Lilliput, especially since I just ordered 2 from China for demo. Oh well... ces't la vie.

I spent nearly 3 days trying to work out the bugs in our Shopping Cart program. US orders were fine, but the International orders were kicking my butt. I think I finally solved the problem.

I also have dealers in the UK and the Netherlands if your interested. I know the Euro is high against the dollar right now, so you might save the most buying directly, but let me know if you want to try the contact names for any of our dealers.

Hi Rob
 
Netherlands will be fine for me.
Please post the address.

Thanks a lot


Thomas

Hi Thomas,

I'm looking for the Panasonic. I could buy it directly from you, instead of a reseller in the Netherlands.
Can you please give me the exact version i need for the XL2 with the Canon Bat. mount etc.

Thanks.
