A monitor with brightness of 1500 nits or higher is suitable for shooting in daylight conditions.
The Atomos Shogun Inferno can function effectively as a daylight monitor and offers SDI loopout capability plus built-in recording functionality.
Cinetronic monitors with digital level display have been used successfully for outdoor video work and can deliver adequate brightness.

The Shogun Inferno is an older model, making current availability and pricing variable.
Budget range of $1500-$1800 was stated but monitor options were not comprehensively compared within this price bracket.
No detailed brightness specifications were provided for the Cinetronic monitor mentioned.
The discussion did not resolve which specific monitor would best suit the stated requirements and budget.
