Hi Konsta
In another thread I asked for a monitor which can desqueeze 2x anamorphic images. Vitaliy wrote, that your monitor could do that with a modification.
How would this work and would it be a selectable option?
If you can do this for me I will order a monitor instantly.

Hi, guys, Here I ask for some photos
It is when you use the 10'' HDMI monitor to help focus, yes, just take your photos like

the picture of when working together. (the camera is GH1 or GH2)
Some guys in China they don't believe that the signal of GH1 can not be HDMI out real-time.
Would you pls show that?

>Yeah... tablets w/ mini-HDMI input would be great. Also a dozen of apps that can record video signals in real time w/ peaking, zebra, 1:1 mapping. Also a placeholder for extended USB battery pack. Hmmm...

Fantasies, fantasies.
None of the CPU for tablets allow anything of this.
May be in next 2-4 years :-)
New Atoms, for example and Ion 5 with DirectCompute.

>This panel is in our company stock, for a UMPC(tablet computer)'s use.

What are you waiting for in this case?

>I think that Samsung and LG is not easy for us to purchase.

My understanding that this is your real chance, as I see hundreds of companies producing cheap Tablets.
While small hdmi monitors niche is not very large, it is growing steady each year and still have plenty of space for manufacturers. Especially if you improve your case, controls and software :-)

How about this one? 280 bright

Hi Mr Chan,
5.6 or 7 inch 720p monitor also my choice.if you can make something that size it will be very popular.

Apparently Konsta's 10.2" screen is only 220, so not much difference. But brighter would be better of course.

I found a 8.9" true 16:9 1280x768 panel that may be suitable for Konsta's existing 9" design:

Specificiation
Model HT089WX1-100
Made Hyundai
Screen size 8.9
Resolution 1280 x 768
Brightness 200
Contrast ratio 400
Color display 262K
Viewing Angle(T/B/L/R) 30/30/10/20

eg. this guy on Ebay has it: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/8-9inch-Hyundai-TFT-LCD-HT089WX1-100-1280x768-/290557896926?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item43a699a8de#shId

Note he also has a 4.8" 1024x600 500nits panel, pretty sweet for portable use.

I think I'll go for the 5.6" 720p panels for myself though.

Hi, everybody, this is Viner Chan from Konsta factory. Glad to meet you.

> Basically, I am asking if this monitor is useful for anything other than focusing and composing/previewing shots such as exposing.

if you want to use any monitor for color settings or accurate exposure you need to calibrate it.
And under it I mean at least 10 point calibration.
I do not know even $1500 monitor that can do this.

Look at TVLogic - http://www.personal-view.com/talks/discussion/61/tvlogic-vfm-056wwp-monitors#Item_1 .
It is best monitor for under $1500 and still have some problems with color accuracy and no calibration.

Actually if we're talking custom controller boards, I would _really_ like a stereoscopic one, capable of accepting two HDMI inputs (L & R from two separate cameras) and outputting them on a single display: 1) vertically interlaced, to turn any display into an auto-stereo one (it's easy to DIY a barrier film on inkjet transparencies), 2) red/cyan anaglyph.

Both options would enable you to view 3D on a single display. The anaglyph option is useful even without glasses, as it's much easier to judge stereo alignment / deviation when both views are coloured.

I'm a programmer with tons of graphics experience, the software would be easy for me - unfortunately I don't know enough electronics to build a board. Anybody want to collaborate?

Right now my only stereo monitoring option involves two displays and a beam splitter, making the 10" screens particularly oversized & heavy. That's why I was looking at the 5.6" 720p panel option (also because I need something portable and lightweight).

EDIT: ... actually, it wouldn't need to be a full LCD controller board. Instead it would just require 2 HDMI inputs, a frame buffer for each one, and another a single HDMI output. A processor would then generate an interlaced/anaglyph composite view from the two inputs. Anybody know how this could be built?
