Review on 📸 Enhance your Live Streaming with VIDEOGEAR Black Mini 5 Inch Camera Monitor: USB Live Stream, 4k Display, Dslr Camera Compatible, HDMI Support, Lps 1920x1080P by Doug Booth

I have several consumer field monitors from Feelworld's entry-level 4.5" and 5" (F4.5 and F5) to their mid-range at 2200 nits 7 Both the monitor (LUT7Pro) and the Atomos Ninja V are brighter in direct sunlight than this VideoGear Mini 5 which is a big disappointment to me. I thought I read somewhere in the description that the monitor was 1000 nits but now I can't find it - so that's my fault and I can't lower it down the star scale too much because I might have misunderstood it . Yes, a sun visor is included, but most of the time it doesn't fit me. I like to use these monitors when I'm photographing wakeboarding or wakesurfing and as you can imagine the boat is never facing the same direction so the sun often hits the screen directly even in the shade. Not to mention the reflections in the water. Adjust and finish. Despite that, the fit and finish of this 5-inch monitor is pretty good. I would even say that they are slightly better than their Feelworld counterparts. Body design, on-screen bezel, integrated 1/4-20 on three sides, even small buttons feel a little better than Feelworld devices, don't get me wrong, I don't blame Feelworld monitors - they've been my workhorses since many years and have never let me down, but the more modern design of the VideoGear device sheds light on the dated design of the FeelWorld monitor. The VideoGear monitor does not have a red LED that stays lit when connected to a power source, which will drain the battery if that is your power source. those little field monitors. Of course you want them to look good, but more importantly how they work. Considering the limited time I've had with this VideoGear monitor, it's great. The touchscreen is responsive and there are tons of options. Everything is very intuitive if you have experience with field monitors. It has all the features you'd expect from a monitor these days, and all you have to do to access all of these features is swipe up or down to open the full menu, or swipe in any direction to open the bottom menu. Just. What really surprised me was how poor the resolution of the capture card was (see pictures). After realizing that the brightness/nits were so bad I thought I'd add this monitor to my video conferencing setup, but after testing its resolution on a cheap $20 YCE capture card that I use regularly , that doesn't work either. So now this monitor is mainly only used in studio environments and that's fine. Overall: This is a good little monitor. Plastic doesn't look cheap. The screen is fine, if a bit too dark for most uses except in the office or studio. Lots of features. Slot for two batteries on the back. I would have liked an HDMI output. For the price, I don't think there's much to complain about. Last note. The adjustable mount that comes with the monitor is useless. Although it twists and turns, nothing stays tight after you twist or turn the monitor, so you'll need to have an Allen wrench on hand to retighten it.
