Hello everyone,
I am new to this forum so this is my first post here.
I am trying to find a good external monitor for my new BMCC MFT and I have a few questions about it.
First of all, does anybody know what is the actual monitor brightness of the BMCC internal monitor in cd/m2 or nit?
I have been searching this forum for this without any luck to find an answer and the BMCC specifications doesn’t list this data.
What would suffice as for brightness of a field monitor so I can adequately see what the camera sees, for focusing purposes in a bright Sunny day outside?
Would a 400cd/m2 or 450cd/m2 with a contrast ratio of 500:1 and with a good Peaking Filter be enough?
Do I need a better resolution than 800 x 480? Is a resolution of 1024x 600 would be that much better on a 7 inch monitor?
The reason I ask these questions is that I do not have the practical real life experience so I would be able to relate much better to these specifications to decide on what to purchase. Also I do not want to spend too much money on a field monitor if not necessary thus I am aiming at some 7 inch HDMI monitors + an SDI to HDMI converter so I could keep its price reasonable low. But I would definitely need something that is enough for outside viewing.
Thank you for your help!
