What makes a professional field monitor stand apart from the competition, besides its full-fledged set of industry standard features and robust design, of course, is its display brightness. An extremely bright professional control monitor can help tremendously on set when it comes to critical tasks such as pulling focus and precise framing even in the harshest light conditions out in the field. The brand new MustHD 7-inch field monitor is an excellent example in that regard that certainly makes a difference. The unit boasts 2,200cd/m² (2,200 nits) brightness which, according to the manufacturer, is way above the typical brightness of other similar models on the market, thus enabling viewing in sunlight without the need for a sun hood.
Besides that, the unit comes equipped with a ruggedized aluminum case, top-of-the-line 7-inch IPS panel with native resolution of 1920 x 1200, that also supports 4K signal up to 60Hz. In addition, the loop-through HDMI and SDI outputs enable the use of external recording devices for maximum capture flexibility.
The screen of the monitor, on the other hand, is covered with Gorilla Glass for extra durability and significant reduction of unwanted reflections. The device can be powered by V-Mount/Anton Bauer batteries via D-Type cable thus providing extended running times.
