Our detailed video review
Lillupt A5 Inside
4 main parts
Very nice main board compatible in complexity with camera main boards
TSUMV56RBUT-Z1
This is highly integrated LSI by Mstar for controlling LCD and dealing with lot of inputs and audio output.
Notice this big guy - it is Xilinx Spartan-6 XC6SLX16 FPGA very similar to one used in all BlackMagic cameras
Nice board quality
Found only one place with flux residue due to human soldering
Case is pretty tough with good brass thread mounts
Note - you need to close monitor during rain - as it lacks weather sealing and button holes are on top
LCD panel used
A5 has aspect menu item, but I am not sure if it has all anamorphic values.
Andycine A6 has special Anamorphic menu with - Off, 1.3x, 1.6x and 2.0x.
Does it have a anamorphic desqueeze mode?
Color gamut, grayscale
Gamut is wider than Rec 709
Also it is nice idea to adjust blue down, red a little down and green a bit up.
Color temperature
Primaries spectrums
White spectrum
Lilliput A5 Contrast and White Brightness at various backlight settings
Lilliput A5 monitor electrical measurements
Standby consumption - 0,050 watts
Delay at 1080p60
Quite typical for such monitors
Just finished my a weekend of shooting with the Liliput A5 for the first time, and I really liked it! Was a nice screen (in fact the B cam would often be using it for himself! Rather than for its purpose: to be pointed at me, so I could keep an eye on the B Cam shots), seemed to be battery efficient (I think? I wasn't doing battery management though, that was B Cam AC's job) while being super small and lightweight.
For its price (only US$149!) I think this was an awesome bargain buy.
Thanks, fixed link.

I received my refund, but held off on getting a replacement just yet. Any updates from the PV US Lab?
@Vitaliy_Kiselev did Alan test yet with NP style batteries? Just packaged mine up to send back. Hoping replacement works properly, as I really love the size and weight of this thing, not to mention the color and DR is pretty good. That's also a different ballhead than I received, though guessing that may not be the included one.
Another note, you need to turn volume to 0 on monitor if you don't have headphones plugged in, otherwise sound from camera/mics comes through the speaker and feeds back.
I have been in contact with the seller and they are exchanging it for me. Will report back when I have the new one. @IronFilm, even if I hold the battery snug, it has issues. Touching the monitor with literally a feather touch causes the issues. Sometimes it just flickers, but most of the time, it just reboots. The connectors are very snug in the batteries. The fit is definitely better than some other devices I have that use NP batteries.
You can see the prongs make very good connection with the contacts on the battery. Issue seems to be internal that wires going to connectors are loose or shorting.
Btw, make macro photos of connector.
With some connectors you can make them better just using very thin screwdriver or such.
Great, thank you VK! Good to know that they will receive this feedback. Initiated the return on my unit and hoping to get a new one with the battery connection working properly. Will post updates when that happens.
