I'm debating between this Neway SDI version and the iKan D5 SDI version. The ikan is around $100 more and the screen is smaller, but I wonder which one best suites the BMCC. If when shooting ProRes, focus peaking doesn't come through well, that would be a huge issue for me.

Has anyone used both this and the ikan? Any comparisons / insight between the 2?

They not have a Sony M plate option?

It is really rare for any monitor. usual option is bracket for Sony NP batteries as they are very easy to find, cheap and come at different sizes.

I think this one would pretty much work with the GH2 and the Monitor..., I will test it and review how long the battery holds!

My SDI version arrived today, works flawlessly with the BMCC! Great colours and user settings, just like the HDMI brother owned before (the reason of upgrading to this when I bought the BMCC).

Unfortunately it has spill along the edges, especially in the upper right corner. It's only really noticeable with very dark images. I don't think I will send it back, pay customs twice ain't no fun.

And I got it for focus pulling only, so no worries. And to bad it didn't come with a nice box like the HDMI version did.

Im looking to use this monitor for a helicopter monitor, and am wondering what rez would I get when plugging into the video input instead of the HDMI on the monitor. the video recever only has RCA out for monitoring.

I own this monitor since one year and can't belive to read here so much beefing about it. Despite the fact that it isn't a perfect monitor for any purpose (barely one is), it is usable under any field conditions that don't require an ultimate weather sealing. Great value for the $ and adjustable in so many ways.

Is there any way to add a loupe/viewfinder to this to use it as an EVF?>

To a 7" monitor?

Yeah, sure there is. ; )

So what do you guys recommend for 5D mark 3 ?? Did some1 made some tests or its better to wait for new models to come out ?

Well, compared to my Zacuto EVF Pro, it's quite far from what I'm used to. As they always say "you get what you pay for" :)

This one I do not understand. Last time I checked EVF Pro is 800x480 viewfinder. So remark about some resolution issues with Neway is strange. Btw picture on low res monitor (or projectors) can look sharper as you see grain and lines between pixels.

Tested on GH2, the color is quite warm.

This is fixable by adjustments. Usually using some test chart.

The only thing I wish is if they could fix the custom aspect ratio to get anamorphic lens desqueezed properly.

Problem is no one advertised them as having "anamorphic lens desqueez" :-) Restrictions to rations arise to used chipset restrictions as I understand and have nothing to do with software or implementation.

Overall it's a great usable field monitor so far, especially for the price point.

Got my CL76HO-X today. The build quality looks good. Light and solid.

I like the menu navigator and buttons on the monitor. Nice and easy to use.

However, the color and the resolution aren't that great. Not what I expected but usable.

Will try it on BMPCC once I get my microHDMI cable.

The problem with the BMPCC must be something else than only progressive vs. PsF.

The Ikans and Seetec don't work, while the work just fine on a RED (strictly progressive) or GH2 (PsF). Marshal and SmallHD work.

Anybody can confirm definitely if the Neway works with BMPCC?
