FilmMan Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Finally bit the bullet and put my order in for the SmallHD AC7 inch LCD (cheaper version). They have a bundle sale going on right now. I paid $749.00. http://www.smallhd.com/ I didn't go with the OLED. Maybe I should have spent the extra $300 for the OLED? But then again... http://www.extremetech.com/computing/148266-apple-ceo-blasts-oleds-as-inferior-tech-independent-research-shows-he-has-a-point assedrtyiilt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HurtinMinorKey Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 That looks like a sweet little monitor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AaronChicago Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Great monitor. OLED is sweet, but it doesnt really make sense to spend the extra money unless OLED is used down the entire workflow and delivery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FilmMan Posted April 18, 2013 Author Share Posted April 18, 2013 According to the UPS tracking info, I'm supposed to receive the monitor later today. I didn't go with the Oled due to the added expense and, I didn't need it at this time. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FilmMan Posted April 18, 2013 Author Share Posted April 18, 2013 Robin, good to hear you like your SmallHD. I'm tired of squinting which is leading to premature aging myself with more wrinkles. Maybe I'll get some shot in focus too. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brellivids Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Seems like a good product.. but man the margins on that thing.. 7" samsung tablet is like 200 euros here in Finland. So the screen is what 30 Dollars (parts) .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FilmMan Posted April 19, 2013 Author Share Posted April 19, 2013 Brellivids, I think that way all the time. But that is the reality. Many times, I go the cheaper route and then regret my decision a lot of times too. So for a few hundred bucks more I went the Smallhd route. Everyone has been saying the Smallhd is quality. Well, I received the AC7 tonight (I bought the package deal). It looks to be of excellent build. The "arm" that comes with this package deal, is quality and not cheap. I plugged the monitor into my 1DC and it froze. After thinking I got a dud or my camera is "f" up'ed I removed the 1DC battery. Turned off the SmallHd and unplugged the battery plate cable. Put everything back together and all is good. I started to play around taking a few shots. Focusing is a awesome. Don't have to squint and wrinkle my ugly face excessively anymore. Will update as I learn - I am slow. Still early for me. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
