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.
