Best EASY 7 inch monitor available

I have used many monitors including products from SmallHD, Atomos and others. This particular monitor offers features not found in other monitors in this price range. First, let's talk about the build quality. It's made from polycarbonate plastic, so it's lightweight, meaning this 7-inch monitor can be attached to a camera like the A73 without adding a ton of unnecessary weight. It is also suitable for hangers and shoulder mounts. There are plenty of physical buttons, including some customizable ones if you don't want to use the touchscreen all the time. For example, I like to disable the touchscreen when I'm in the field to avoid streaks and streaks. They impair visibility and reflectivity in direct sunlight. So touchless working means I have to wipe the monitor less, which ultimately means I'm less likely to scratch the display. As for the display, it's excellent. It has a crystal clear picture with fairly accurate colors and excellent peak brightness. It's a fairly reflective display, but it gets bright enough that it shouldn't be an issue in most scenarios. The touch operating system that Andycine uses is great and very intuitive. It also offers many settings for quick access to modes and settings on the fly. The modes I typically use on every shoot are Faux Color, Zebra, 1:1 Zoom, Focus Peaking, and I also add horizontal and vertical flip options to the quick access toolbar. This is because this particular monitor comes with a nice mount with a cold shoe attached. This allows you to quickly flip the monitor front to back when filming yourself. The vertical and horizontal flip options in the context menu allow me to make sure I'm in the right orientation. Audio controls are built right into the monitor, which is great for cameras that don't have a headphone jack. This requires Sony L-type batteries, which are very cheap to buy, however there is 1 battery in the box, along with a charger and travel case. I have used AndyCine monitors in the past and am amazed at their value. They always come with a bunch of extra accessories, so you can take the monitor out of the box and start using it straight away, which is nice. The same is true of this particular monitor. If you're looking for a great 7-inch monitor that's mostly visible in daylight and don't want to spend a fortune, then this is definitely one to check out.
