Sony CLM-V55

Can be used on any camera with HDMI-out, but some with limitations. Bright, clear screen. Offers peaking and audio monitoring.

Battery and charger not included. Without a special adapter, the screen can't mount on the proprietary hotshoe on the NEX cameras.

This incredibly useful LCD monitor makes all the difference for photographers, offering audio monitoring and 5 inches of high-resolution screen real estate. Bonus points for being compatible with any camera with HDMI output.

Not Satisfied
