The monitor offers common professional features including false color, focus peaking, RGB and waveform displays, and anamorphic mode.
The built-in digital level indicators are present but lack sufficient accuracy for reliable use.
The monitor provides multiple brightness modes including Daylight mode for outdoor work, and the brightness adjustment does not appear to simply amplify the signal uniformly.
Outdoor visibility is generally good except when direct sunlight hits the screen.
The monitor lacks anti-reflective coating, which some users consider important for handheld camera work.
At the time of purchase, the unit was significantly cheaper than comparable models from other manufacturers while providing similar HD-SDI functionality.
The monitor does not include a flip mode feature, though this may potentially be added through a firmware update.

The digital level readings mentioned as inaccurate, so users should not rely on them for exposure assessment.
Performance in direct sunlight is limited due to the lack of anti-reflective coating.
Flip mode was not available at the time of the discussion.
The assessment was made by someone whose primary work is not exclusively on camera stabilization rigs, so specialized Steadicam user needs may differ.
The price comparison is from 2013 and may not reflect current market conditions.
