5.6" vs 7" 1080p screen for pulling focus

[Scott Pultz]

Hello!

I am trying to decide between the TV Logic 5.5" 1080p screen and the Marshall Electronics 7" screen. I'm thinking that the 7" screen will be nicer for pulling focus on, but it's hard to tell how much better it would be. Any thoughts out there? 7" screen has about 50% more surface area than 5.5"

Thanks,

Scott

I have had three marshalls back in the day (2 SD 1 HD), they were all garbage even at the time (6-7 years ago).

Go for the TVLOGIC, I have two, 5,6 and 17", both awesome.

Something tells me there is a huge difference with the new Red 7" 1080p touch monitor. The 5" is a great size but either it is the size or the resolution that seems to make it tricky to pull focus (since everything looks either in or out of focus). If they one day make a 5" full HD model, I'm sure it would sell very well (since it'll probably be cheaper then the 7").

The new Red 7" touchscreen 1080 monitor destroys the 5.6" TV Logic for focus and image IMO. WAY better.

I think RED did an amazing job improving the "hinge" - BUT - many, many people don't use or want the hinge at all - and that hinge - and the internals required to make that hinge work - are a significant cost factor.

What RED should do IMO - is just spin off another version of the 7" touch - no hinge - just a 16-pin LEMO on the back - 1/4-20's on each side, top and bottom. Make it $600 less and they would sell TONS more. MOST people in TV & features put the monitor on a noga - especially a 7" +

Same panel, same PCB - different chassis. Different price.

My 2 cents.

+1 on this

Marshall has always let me down image wise. Have not used the newer monitors but after owning several they were always soft, washed out, and just didn't look good. The TV Logic would be the one to pick out of these two.

I agree with what Mark says regarding the 7" RED monitor. No hinge = a big winner...

I would also be amazing if the RED monitor could be connected via sdi or hdmi for other uses. But that also introduces power requirements
