Finding an affordable 7-inch monitor for broadcast video work
19 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.
What the thread found
- A 7-inch LCD monitor made by Marrell and rebranded by Glidecam as the L7-Pro offers daylight viewability at approximately $700 USD.
- The standard version of the Flyer monitor costs around $695 USD, while the HD-SDI version is significantly more expensive at $4,850 USD.
- A Lilliput 7-inch screen can be obtained for approximately £70 GBP but requires modification through soldering to add proper connectors and is less robust than professional broadcast monitors like the Teletest.
Depends on
- The discussion is from 2007 and pricing is from that era.
- The Lilliput option required custom modifications and was noted as less durable than professional alternatives.
- Availability and shipping options were factors that influenced the final purchasing decision.
