konsta, i just found a photo of the monitor in use: http://images.trademe.co.nz/photoserver/38/170622638_full.jpg i dont know if it helps you. greetings

> Rock paintings - this is that unite all people. Let's use this approach :-)

I've just found yet another controller that doesn't letterbox 16:9 on a 16:10 panel correctly - so I've drawn a rock painting ; ). Feel free to distribute (non-commercially only).

Me? No I haven't, but I've only been looking at 16:9 panels.

>Hardly any warning when the battery dies
>Sometimes it just would not sync to the camera. I had to power both down and back up and then it would connect.
>Image is not the same framing as the camera LCD. there is area lost on all the sides. I would have rather had letterboxing than this.

All this issues are connected to monitor firmware.
Unfortunately manufacturer did not do anything despite clear description and promises to fix them.

>Image color/contrast/brightness is not even close to what the camera sees regardless of settings. Everything is much darker. Moving the settings up causes strange lines and colors to appear.

You can't expect match until you are able to calibrate monitor.
And sad thing is that monitor calibration depend on lighting temperature and brightness level.
Other sad thing is that it seems that manufacturer is using any panel that he can find.
So, your part about color and contrast can be different for different batch, I think.

>The overall picture quality is much worse than normal downrezzing from HD to SD usually is.

What do you mean under "normal downrezzing"?
It's main problem is closely related with framing, making accurate framing will improve sharpness.
But it is not very bad anyway.

>Not really usable for most focusing work

I use it for focusing.
But if you are using focus pulls frequently you really need to invest in best monitor you can afford .

I bought this monitor for my T2i at first I could not get it to work. But with thanks to A1ex and Magic Lantern "Build August 17th" it now works. Still needs a little fine tuning which I am sure will happen. (working in it now) But what do you expect for nothing.

+1 It has a very bad screen, awful colours, I sold it....

@Vitaliy_Kiselev

I think people realize that you can't get a completely accurate view except on a calibrated monitor. But people are saying it's not even close. Some of the Marshall monitors that I have, while not 100% accurate, are pretty darn close and can be relied on. It sounds like that is not the case with this monitor.

I was thinking of buying the Leadstar 10" to replace our broken teleprompter. It seems to have the 1/4" mount we need. Wondering if it has a way to rotate the screen in the menu?

Need hdmi or vga for the teleprompter. That might not be a deal breaker since I think the software we use can flop it. Thanks.

We have one on deals from time to time, with peaking and 1024x600 res. I'll add it to monitors deal topic tomorrow.
