Best monitor for outdoor use

Hello, I'm needing a monitor that's going to be great for outdoors, I would prefer to get something large too (like around 7"). I've been looking at the smallhd AC7 OLED monitor, but I'm just afraid that the glossy screen won't be that great for whenever I'm shooting outside (which is almost everything I shoot). So if anyone can recommend a great monitor for outside it would be greatly appreciated!

I haven't seen one yet, but SmallHD just announced a high-brightness daylight-visible monitor.
It's not cheap, but it looks like it was designed to do the trick...

Randy's link above is a good choice if you have the cash.
I own two SmallHD monitors: the DP6 and AC7 OLED. I used them outdoors all the time with the sunshade. I use the DP6 with a customized short sunshade on my Steadicam and the beefy sunshade on my AC7 OLED on other rig configurations. The OLED is amazing. You can buy a matte finish screen protector for the AC7 OLED to apparently cut down on glare I have one, but haven't used it. I just adjust my monitor to move it so I don't have glare. You can't go wrong with a SmallHD monitor.
