Anybody have or know of a list of monitors currently compatible with the Epic?

I would like to know of both higher end monitors for color accuracy as well as lower end monitors (perhaps computer monitors through HDMI) used solely for client assessment of framing (not necessarily color perfection).
 
Sorry, do you mean small or big one ?

For 17", Panasonic BT-LH1760 my fav...well, only 720p, so to showing up the waveform, you have to set 720 on Epic's output signal...
 
Thanks Danu. Some of the usual suspects that worked for the Red One are not working for the Epic. I'm mainly looking at larger size, but if people want to chime in with what is successfully working for them (any size), others may find it useful.

Cheers,
Dale
 
Another 17": TVlogic LVM-171W
(current model seems to be LVM-172W)

Working just fine over SDI and HDMI (not tested all refresh rates but looks good on initial tests)...
Great as a director/client-monitor and for studio work or on sets where you have the time for setting up the picture in every aspect (1:1 pixel mapping is nice for critical focus on static scenes).
Not so much a mobile monitor but pretty versatile - already used it outdoors running on V-Mount batteries (D-Tap to XLR). With DVI input also ready for (extended)"Desktop"-use...

Just a note - Waveforms not working on HDMI (it seems), so it's better to run on SDI if you need that (we're usually fine with the in-camera exposure-tools)...
 
I have a Sony LMD 9050 monitor that doesn't work with the Epic. I just sent RED technical people a question regarding my Monitor. There should be more info to come.
 
FSI 21.5" with Field Kit!
 
The Panasonic BTLH-1760 worked fine for me. But I tried the BTLH-900 and BTLH-80 a couple of days ago and none of them worked in any resolution or framerate. Has anybody had issues with these monitors ?
I used a sony 9", I think it was the LMD 940 which worked fine.
 
I'm using just used the FSI 2140 21" via HD-SDI on a shoot yesterday. It's 1920x1080. Looks great. There was a pretty significant delay of the signal though. We guessed around 5-10 frames without really measuring. Read some forums and set the HD-SDI output on Epic from 23.98 to 59.94 (our shoot frame rate was 23.98). Set the FSI video processing from "Normal" to "Fast". Those two changes cut the delay down to fewer frames, maybe 2-5. Does anyone have any tips on how to get no delay?
