Old 5.6 Red LCD or Red Touchscreen on Scarlet/Epic

[Kamilla Lusa]

Hi guys,

does old 5.6 Red LCD (metal version) work with Scarlet/Epic? Or is not recommended?

How does it compare to Red Touchscreen?
What I am mainly looking for in a monitor is the color accuracy and ability to judge focus.

Thanks,
Kamilla

A DP6 monitor is a nice choice for focus.

I've been using the old 5.5" LCD on my Epic - I prefer it to the touchscreen. If you're using the LCD as your main method of monitoring the camera then you don't want to get it covered in fingerprints and the LCD monitor is lighter and easier to mount. It's also a bit less bulky than the new touchscreen.

Yes, that's for sure. I have DP6 HDMI version. Looking for a second monitor though, as single HDMI monitor is not a setup I can trust.

If you are going to put an LCD on it, I would very very strongly recommend the touchscreen, it makes everything so much much easier.

Best of luck

and the fact its not touchscreen means I get less fingerprints on it!

I have never really liked touch screen view finders for just this reason.
