Monitor suitability depends primarily on the video format being used - film, SD video, or HD video.
Standard definition video work can use most LCD screens, including models from Transvideo or Teletest.
HD-capable monitors often do not display true HD resolution but rather extended definition, limiting the actual line pair detail visible compared to HD camera sensors.
Focus accuracy with LCD monitors becomes challenging in live shooting situations even with focus peaking enabled at maximum strength.
High-brightness monitors from Tiffen (Highbright) and MK-V (Hummingbird and Blackbird models) are specifically designed for outdoor and high-light environments like Steadicam work.
Transvideo manufactures high-brightness monitor models that perform well for professional broadcast applications.
MK-V produces multiple Hummingbird monitor variants with different feature sets - basic model without frameline generator or Lemo connector, and Blackbird model with frameline generator and Lemo connector.

Discussion is from 2005, monitor technology has advanced significantly since then.
HD monitor capabilities discussed refer to older extended-definition technology rather than modern HD standards.
Price information and current availability were not provided in the thread.
The user's specific camera model and shooting conditions not fully detailed.
Experience reported is primarily from professional broadcast and film work, may not apply to other applications.
