The PortKeys LH5P is a 5.5″ monitor that came out in January 2021. This 1700nit monitor features an HDMI input and an HDMI output port, and it supports resolutions up to 4K DCI. With a very aggressive price tag under $400, this small on-camera display can even control your camera wired or wirelessly. Let’s take a closer look at it! Disclaimer: As usual, let me first say that I am not a PortKeys Ambassador. Like every other article on CineD, PortKeys, or any other brand, did not pay us to write this article. However, the company sent us the product to review for free. This review is my unbiased opinion as PortKeys did not modify, influence, or give input about the article before its publication. Also, this review was initially done on the PortKeys LH5H that came out in July 2020 but was discontinued less than six months after its release. This review was ready to go, and we had to do it all over again when the LH5P came out (you can feel the blood tears here). PortKeys LH5P on the left, PortKeys LH5H on the right.

We updated this review accordingly and took some time to test every feature again. Enjoy! Image credit: PortKeys...
