Lilliput 663/S monitor suitability and features for video work

13 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.

What the thread found

  • The monitor works best when used indoors rather than outdoors.
  • Screen reflectivity is a significant issue that can be mitigated by applying matte protection film.
  • The monitor includes adjustable frame line options and a center crossmark function.
  • A transflective coating upgrade improves visibility in bright daylight conditions.
  • The monitor can handle framing work in direct sunlight but is not reliable for accurate color and detail assessment in those conditions.
  • The monitor offers reasonable value for the price point.

Depends on

  • Discussion centers on the 663/S model with SDI function, results may not apply to other variants.
  • Transflective coating appears to be a special order option, not standard on all units.
  • Color accuracy assessment in direct sunlight is acknowledged as problematic.
