Anyone seen / heard anything about this? There's some additional information following the link (click here).

Sheldon
Hey Emm, any news on this product? Great reviews?
Eric
Sounds good, I'm going to put in my order now!
Jerry
I just received mine today from DHL. Took it out for a quick spin and it worked great on my Canon 5D mark II. The colors seem to be pretty accurate, although I don't have another small form monitor to compare it to.
It doesn't have many features, but for less than $200 shipped, I think I got a great monitor that will do just fine for helping me focus. I'm off to order a Sony batter for it now.

Anyone actually order one of these? I am just curious how the transaction went and if you have received it.
Eric
Also, I would like to find a compatible sun hood for this monitor if anyone knows of any, that'd be great.
Eric
This is quite the interesting find, I think I might pick one up. I was able to get an Asus Wicast last month for $130 (last one in any stores near me) and a Tekkeon battery pack. This with an HDMI splitter (any suggestions?) and I'll be able to stream my setup while having a monitor to use
Madeline
Under $200? If it has focus assist I might trade up from my lowly Haier.

I still like the overscan/underscan feature of the Lilliput 5D model. I also like the higher resolution.
Too bad there are no reviews.

This 8' looks pretty much like the 7' and considering that it comes with a f970 battery and the price includes shipping its actually almost the same - even better price.
does anyone know if its the same with led backlight?

This is just a speculation about their origin, but I think that this guy that is selling these owned a render farm for 3D animation stuff. And he was using these little monitors as stacks and then the business may have gone under. Because he is selling the actual system for $24,000 if you check out the other items for sale.
Not certain on this but just an idea.

Technically LCD wouldn't be incorrect. LED is used in a misleading way often. Companies say LED tv when all the LED 's are doing are backlighting the LCD

Even with shipping it's less than $200, they could easily say $200 and free shipping and people would be happy.............
Judge by the final price, that is all
Tony
no peaking? doesnt peak my interest.

Almost seems too good to be true. Next week it will be $400.

@MV, there's other sellers from China that offer DSLR monitors with shipping under $15 or free shipping. They are essentially overcharging for shipping. I understand some of it has to do with the expedited shipping, but they should at least let you choose how you want it sent.
MV
Tempting. @Barry - $49 shipping overseas, assuming the shipper declares it properly, isn't expensive at all. The imposed tariffs, taxes, and so forth add up very quickly.
N.K.Osborne
Yea the shipping price is crazy. I see some are already sold. Hopefully someone will review it and let us know if it's worth the price.
Joe G
Looking at the ebay feedback, reviewers seem to be generally happy about the screens. I really want to pull the trigger on this one!
Patrick Bishop
I was about to order one but saw the $49 shipping. I'll wait for a review. I was initially looking aty that new Lilliput 5D monitor with HDMI in/out.
Barry Sanders
Ummm $49 shipping? That's crazy. Who do they think they are fooling.
N.K.Osborne
Wow these things are priced aggressively. Hopefully someone gets one and reviews it.
Jaonlo
Intersting to see how this will perform. I hope some Chinese companies start making cheap clones.
Jaonlo
That's a lot of weight to be carrying on a hotshoe. Maybe they should consider put another hotshoe connector in the center of the back of the monitor.

This one adds an extra inch, claims better contrast and same brightness:

I was wondering... I have a T2i with magic lantern installed. If i buy a cheap LCD would i be able to use Magic lanterns focus assist and other features externally? I know its not the greatest focus assist but its certainly better than nothing.
iana
This one is touchscreen:

Displays that are 'LED-backlit' are actually still LCD displays. I think the most important factor in image quality/accuracy is IPS vs. TN (for example, the smallhd dp6 has an IPS panel).
Brad Justinen
Quick side note: It's still an LCD, it just has an LED backlight. A regular LCD uses small cathode ray tubes as a backlight and they burn out much faster than the newer LED backlights. An LED display would have 1-3 LEDs for each pixel.

Wow, looks pretty good. But curiously at very low price compared to other options!
