H056 (V2) field monitor review - Full metal (2nd edition) - With 5.6" 1280x800 screen

ATTENTION!

It´s not fully compatible to 24P signals (!) The scaler adds then a quite pronounced image lag / ghosting (at least according to a trusted source). I cannot say if it´s still the case. But AVOID buing it, if you´re using a GH4 or BMPCC / Blackmagic Pocket with native 24P, 25P and 30P output (!)

If you have the option to output 1080i - Just use that mode. The ghosting is still there - But WAY lower / less pronounced. That´s more or less the one bigger limitation of this screen! (Btw.: The ghosting is never completely gone - If you cannot live with that then DON`T GET THIS SCREEN - Better check out the MustHD M601H or M701H - Or the IKAN VK7i instead!)

Don´t forget to check out, if it´s the model with the additional HDMI out! (The cheaper ones are normaly the HDMI in only models.) Also important: The standard battery plate is for the LP-E6 (Canon) ones - You need to ask / send a message to get the NP-F (Sony) Plate (!)

UPDATE:

I compared it today to a Marshall LCD70XHB monitor (the high brightness model). It holds VERY well against it (with the settings mentioned above). Just the minor image ghosting and the not 100% perfect colors are visible (But that´s also kind of technology based - A cheap TN panel vs a good IPS panel cannot win ^^). The H056 is even better sharpness / resolution wise than the LCD70 - AND its oversharpening filter (compared to the standard Marshall peaking) is also WAY more usable (at least for me personally).
