  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

EVF or LCD?

I'm amazed that this exact 1024x600 5.6" LCD has been available from Toshiba for over 2 years for only $350.

That's probably not a fair comparison. The Toshiba display is an OEM display product, intended to be sold to manufacturers of other products (like handheld PCs), into which it would need to be "integrated" (power, control, firmware, etc.). It needs plenty of other "stuff" to work, and isn't sold or marketed as a stand-alone, end-user product.

So, lemme just get this straight . . .

RED EVF resolution: 1280x720
RED 5.6" LCD resolution: 1024x600

Is this correct?

By the way, if anyone thinks these numbers are "low," Sony's optional $10,000 color HD EVF for the F900, the HDWF-C30W, is only 960 x 540-pixels, and it looks AWESOME! So, just think how good RED's EVF and LCD are gonna look!

Where can you find one of these displays? Any nearby stores?

...and Ralph, you too thought it was 720p LCD?

Shawn... you are killing me. Just because the resolution is the same doesn't mean it is the same panel. Take the Toshiba outside and look at it in the sun. I think you will find a BIG difference between their panel and ours.

If we have pissed you off in some way, I am sorry. I just want it to be for a good reason. But the fact is you are comparing apples to oranges.

You could probably get it here:

But it may be more trouble than it's worth to save up for that minimum order quantity of a 1,000 units! Plus, you'd need some sort of FCC-approved case to house the bare electronics in. You may need an industrial designer to spec the bezel and display mounting hardware for you too. And maybe some buttons to turn it on and off, control firmware, and some other electronic-y, computer-y kinda stuff. Sorry to be such a smart ass, but I thought my post was pretty clear. Watch some other smart ass post a completely assembled version of this product on E-bay somewhere! You were just kidding, right?

No! I'm fine. Okay, I actually work with displays like this in embedded aviation displays (my glorious day job) and I do know the massive differences you can have in viewing angle, color, etc between LCDs. I was just wondering if you guys had bought this exact LCD and put it in a Red casing.

I'll be there in your booth on Monday of NAB and figure out which one will help me the most. The more I read it seems the price point of the EVF and quality that you achieved is amazing. So I'm glad that this is helping push me more towards that. Though I'll eventually get both.

Sorry to kill yeah there, not my intention Jim.
 
Shawn... come find me at the booth and I will give you a personal tour of all we have to offer.

Ah, I'd love that! Do you like whiskey with your cigars? I found an awesome small batch Oregon whiskey. I'll bring you a bottle.
 
Sold...

Keep in mind that 1024x600 on a 5.6" diagonal screen is over 210 DPI. The computer screen you're reading this post on is probably half of that. 1280x720 rather than 1024x600... the difference probably isn't even visible at reasonable viewing distances.

So which are you getting? The LCD, the EVF, or both?
 
Ralph... you can look me up, too. Even though your 4K OLED is BS!

Jim
 
Oh yeah, I designed an 8K camera in my spare time. It's pretty sweet. So if you guys want any pointers on how to break that measly 4K 'barrier,' well...
 
OK, Brook... join the party!

Jim
 
All I can say is you guys will be blown away at NAB!

And I want to personally watch your reaction...
