569gl-50np/h/y 5" On-camera Hd LCD Field Monitor w/ Hdmi in Component in Video in Video Out +Shoe Mount+du21 Battery and Charger

ok first when I opened it I was like wow this is great, The build quality is cheap but that cheap makes it light. I opted for this over the 7" because i use a Gh2 and well we all know its a small camera plus I did not want to make my rig bulky.My main concern is now matter what settings i use in the settings panel i can NOT get the colors in the LCD to come even close to my GH2's screen. This is more hectic than I anticipated because I now have to keep my GH2 lcd flipped out for checking color and what not. (the GH2 allows both screens to be used at once). The resolution on the GH2 is good I know its not really 1080 but its more then enough to pull focus and framing. I don't think i have many more complaints other then how completely off the screen color is, its not even vibrant like in the pics listed.But I need to better test it since all my testing was done indoors. There is no proper white balance settings on the Lcd other then a few that will get you close but no proper 5200K or the ability to dial it in exactly like the camera allows.I would recommend this product for the price with all the accessories it not bad, the fact that it comes with a battery and charger was nice. I really did not want to hunt for accessories else where so I think that the package deal is nice .if I can get more accurate color or (even close) I would give it a 4 star but until then its just a 3.

Okay, so my wife bought this item for me as a birthday present. Firstly, if you are shooting in HD like I do (1920 x 1080), first make sure that you note this screen's resolution... it's 480.The product description is misleading because it suggests that it supports 1920 x 1080 full HD resolution. When they say support, that does not mean the actual device takes the 1080 image and fits it within the resolution of the 480 resolution squarely. In other words, your 1080 image will be cropped, centered, and barely bigger than the resolution on your 3 inch lcd panel (if you have Canon DSLR). HOWEVER, since 4:3 is a fraction of 16:9, you can still use the 480 display to more or less frame your shots as long as you turn off the "info" display on your Canon camera. I don't understand why they couldn't have downsampled the video image so that the entire monitor screen could be utilized for framing. On the plus side, it really does help frame and focus images better with the monitor because the LCD is obviously pathetic on Canon DSLRs.The thing that really got me about this device is its design. People are saying "Well, it's a good device for the price." Uh, not really. Here's why. If I spend 200 bucks on an iphone, I have an amazing piece of technology that is solidly made and can perform more complicated routines than just diplay an HD picture. Yet for that same amount of money, you get this flimsy piece of lightweight plastic, and poorly ventilated device from Lilliput. It does not feel sturdy or durable or rugged at all. C'mon people. Lilliput needs to man up and make some real monitors that are worth their weight in plastic. Stop trying to take advantage of a niche industry, cuz Canon is going to come out with its own system soon enough for all of us Canon users.

Not true color.

What a great price for this Lilliput monitor. It works perfect and gets the job done. Just the right size for on the go shooting jobs.
