DesviewR6 Camera Monitor, 5.5 inch Touch Screen Field Monitor 4K HDMI 2800nits Ultra High Brightness IPS 178° View Angle with 3D Lut Waveform VectorScope Histogram Support 8V DC Output

Amazing brightness, the biggest trade off is that batteries seem to dissolve into this thing they die so fast lol.Other than that, genuinely amazing stuff. Not even going to dock it a star for it.

Desview has been around the "budget professional" line of monitors for a while with the likes of Feelworld, Bestview (are these the same company?), Viltrox and Neewer.The other brand i had a chance to test on the Ultra High Brightness line was Feelworld, so i will compare it directly to it, but just to clarify both are very good budget monitors as well, i tried their LUT6 but if i had to pick one between the two, it'd be this Desview R6.This is a secondary monitor for me to use it mainly with a Gimbal (DJI RS2), my main being a Osee T7 ($429) @ 3000 nits, but a 7 inch monitor on a already heavy gimbal setup can be back breaking, and this does an outstanding job for this. Not saying you couldn't use it as a main monitor, actually i've been using the R6 more, as it's more compact than the T7 and just a little dimmer, but completely visible in direct sunlight.Why? The Feelworld LUT6 is 2600nits vs 2800 on the R6 (but to be honest, you all know these claims of been brighter, faster, are often misleading) however this monitor has all the same features, BUT, the Menu/OSD feels just so much more polished and accessible, there's nothing wrong with the Feelworld LUT6 (which i'd rate 5-stars as well) it's just that the the OSD (On Screen Display/HUD) feels so much polished and mature.The R6 2800 nits makes it usable in direct sunlight without a hood, that by the way, it is included in the package.Colors are good, although i didn't test it for color accuracy they look good to my eyes compared to what i see off-camera.The monitor doesn't get hot, and the fan, which its noticeable when it kicks-in, does a great job at keeping it cool, you can adjust the speed on the menu in case you need it to be totally silent for a while.The included cold shoe mount is decent, but of course none of these are meant to be abused and it's just a gateway to something better, it is still better than the whole swiveling arm on the LUT6, but at the end of the day both will need replacement if you're doing serious jobs.It has all the features you'd expect from a "budget professional" camera monitor: LUTs, Parade, Vector Scope, RGB Histogram, HistogramPeaking Focus Assist, False Colors, Zebra, Scan Mode, Zoom, Anamorphic Mode, Pixel to Pixel. Same as the top competitors in this price range.Again, in my humble opinion, if you're looking for a budget professional Ultra High Brightness, it'll be between this Desview R6 and the Feelworld LUT6. Performance wise i'd say they're equals, same ports, same features, but i'd say this R6 wins by a very, very thin margin based only a better designed OSD/HUD.

Item: Desview R6 Monitor, 5.5-Inch, 2800Nits, 4K HDMI, HD 1920x1080, UH-BrightPrice: $199.00 (with vendor’s $40 discount coupon – 09 13 22)While somewhat included in the vendor’s title description, this monitor is an HD, not 4K display. The first slide-show photo on the vendor’s page shows ‘4K’ predominant in a photo, but one would assume it referred to the display. In fact, it’s a rating for the HDMI input and out, which presumably would be a ‘pass-through’ if coming from my mirrorless camera’s 4K recording resolution. I felt that was misleading in the way the feature was shared.As for the monitor, it is commensurate with and includes a number of video/photo data items that would certainly be helpful for setting photo or video attributes. Most of these features within the display are common to the two other monitors I have reviewed and have used. It also does feature a UHB (Ultra High Brightness) display. And if you review the vendor’s page, you’ll find items, like ‘touch screen’ volume and brightness controls. These are significant features, especially when working in the outdoors and competing with sunlight. Being NP-F battery capable, which is great, I would highly recommend only using the NP-F970 batteries. I’ve found that monitors do pull significant current when the display is set at highest levels. Any of the smaller capacity batteries won’t get you much video time.Using the platform of ‘common features’ in a small display of this type, I noted a major attribute that didn’t meet what I’d say is a versatile/useful value. The display is a 5-1/2 inch, not 7-inch. The difference when you’re viewing is noticeable. I have both sizes and I’ve used the 7-inch for both on camera and clamped or tripod mounted on my desk when I want to ‘close monitor’ the real time recordings of my reviews and business videos. I always default to the larger 7-inch screen when it’s available and not being used. The smaller screen could be considered a ‘good fit’ when you want to limit your total gear volume or when you’re using a small bodied camera.Regarding this monitor’s overall value rating, and especially given the large number of comparable items on the vendor’s page, I did find the current price, even with discount, still put it currently at the high price end of the competitive field of monitors. The UHB feature, my favorite, does redeem it a bit. But I find it best to compare the NIT levels of these small monitors. If true to the actual monitor, they are the value I find most important.
