    You tried same thing with large monitor with HDMI input? Like your TV?

  • I cannot find a way to extend the screen view to fill the screen using a Nikon D800 or a Nikon D4. I have tried every possible permutation in the menus but cannot get a 16:9 image that does not have a black border all the way round so its like having a 5 inch monitor instead of a 7 inch! If I have the "camera" function assigned to F1 lets say, it shows a correct aspect image until I hit record and then it switches to a 4:3 ratio. If I hit the F1 switch to turn it off the screen image reduces to a small size that would fit on a 5 inch screen. If anybody knows the settings to get a full size 16:9 image out of this monitor I would be very grateful. At the moment it seems that their are quite a few bugs in the software.

  • how to enter custom aspect ratio (extrusion) menu at neway monitors? i read that i should push ASPECT/EXIT (my button is called only EXIT) and than hold MENU button for 3-5s.... is it correct? nothing happenes at my SDI and HDMI CL76 monitor... what i am doing wrong? any update possible to have noticed extrusion predefined menu?

  • When you enable focus peaking, is the image forces to B&W? Can you use peaking with a color image?

  • Hi someone who has bought this minitor can report on new features: Aspect and Extrusion with photos or video.

    Thank you

  • FYI, the hdmi model works fine with the GH4. I'm shooting 1080p 200mbs mostly - had to select avchd, THEN .mov before the monitor would work though - sort of cleared its throat.

  • I leave my contribution.. late a bit since I received the monitor, but here are my impressions: The monitor is well built. focus peaking is very good, It has halos of light when brightness is set below 50( as you can see) The rest is ok and the size of 7 inches helps a lot ! Shipping is amazing fast .. but unfortunately customs fees are high, maybe if shipped with normal post service would arrive later and no stopped at custom. Anyway, I'm happy with it.

  • @theshittywizard I used today with the Black Magic Pocket and it was really good. Gonna use it again more seriously in a couple of days. Also on the GH2 it looked great. I have yet to connect it to the GH3. I have a Marshall LCD50-HDMI which is more expensive but I never got a satisfactory image out of it. Very different from what I saw on (and coming out of) the GH2 and GH3. The Neway instead looks quite faithful, similar to some SmallHD I saw. And 7" seemed overkill to me but it is actually very good to properly check focus. I'm very pleased so far

  • @flablo Are you going to be using this with the GH3 tomorrow? I'm not planning on upgrading to the GH4 until projects demand it. Seems to work just fine based on what some others have said.

    Cheers

  • Anyone using this monitor with the GH4? Reading about issues with 24p and interested to see if this works with it.

  • Just received the monitor and it looks very good. Will test it on a real job tomorrow already. Support and feedback from Neway has been wonderful: DHL needed a more detailed address code, so they write to me immediately and also tried to contact me on Skype. They even asked Vitaliy to to PM me here :) Shipping is amazingly fast. Will write my feedback about the monitor as soon as I'll test it

  • Just got the monitor in and I am really impressed with how fast the shipment was! Booted up and it has a fairly quick boot, then it just gets better. The image quality and clarity is absolutely amazing and the monitor holds up really great in bright sunlight. Compared to the Oled on the GH3, I couldn't see anything on the OLED, but on the Neway, everything was crystal clear and glares were very minimal. Really impressed with the brightness, color quality, and build quality. Definitely will be buying a few more of these in the future.

  • When using on 5D mk2 it takes 6 seconds when you press the record button on 5D because of the changing from 720p to 480p.

    May be change monitor mode yourself only.

    Also I didn't figured out how to stretch the image all over the monitor while maintaining 1:1 aspect ratio. It shows black border around image.

    1280x800 is monitor resolution, vertical one is bigger than required for 16:9, hence black border.

  • I bought this monitor and it is amazing. The light leak is not noticeable when filming. It needs to be adjusted a bit form the factory settings. Really like this monitor. When using on 5D mk2 it takes 6 seconds when you press the record button on 5D because of the changing from 720p to 480p. Could this be resolved somehow? Also I didn't figured out how to stretch the image all over the monitor while maintaining 1:1 aspect ratio. It shows black border around image. Very happy with this monitor.

    PS.: What s the Tally for?

  • guys, I receive my CL76HO-X today It was immediately shipped and the tracking showed it was still in Hong Kong yesterday and today at my door no problem with taxes, everythign declared properly and I paid taxes at the door I tried the monitor and I like it. But I cannot compare it to any other unit since I am new to this and have never seen another field monitor. But for me a natural picture is important and it seems the monitor can deliver this. I have a Panasonic plasma TV calibrated by a pro for the most accurate colors. I have the ultra shiny colors you see on TVs to make people say WOW. You know what I mean...I like it natural. Any tips on calibrating this monitor? Any firmware updates for it? Thanks again Vitaly for the great service.

  • Does this have any lag with the GH3? I had another cheap monitor that I got for the GH3 and it would lag when switching shutter speed, aperature, etc.

  • @olli66 Thats a good question. I have both in front of me. If I remember tonight I will do a battery life test.

  • hi guys, I just ordered the CL76HO-X. Any advice on batteries? How long do the F550 and F750 last with the monitor? The others are too big in size for me. Will compatible ones do? I don't see original Sony ones anywhere...

  • I managed to get it working, I didn't know how to do the manual adjustment like that. Thanks for the tip!

  • @luekio

    Can you make video? Also check manual adjustment (see start of the topic).

  • Anyone used this on the 70d? worked great on my GH2 but no matter what settings I do on the 70d I cant seem to get the feed full screen on the monitor, there is always some black bars....

  • If you want peaking over a coloured image then you won't like the neway as it goes black and white with red outline. I find with the 7" HD image I really don't use peaking as I trust my eyes and peaking can be fooled by edges with reflection.
