A lot of people use this: http://www.dealextreme.com/p/pl8006...-monitor-tv-w-ypbpr-vga-input-47-870mhz-55245

I have already ordered it and I can say more in about 10 days.

I'm using a Pyle PLHR77 from Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0034G3XIS/ref=pe_175190_21431760_M2C_SC_dp_1)---cost $56. The resolution is 1440 X 234, which isn't great, but it works fine for framing shots. Not sure about FPV, though. I did build a foam shroud for it to reduce glare.

Hahah, jforkner, I was just about to post the same link. I set one of those up for my camera person and it works great, especially for the price!

Like most monitors, you will have to put it in some kind of hood, but that's to be expected.

 

[kloner]

that's what sold me on the FT, figured it was worth $30 for the hood alone even if i have to throw away the screen

When the ad says 1440 X 234, what is that? it doesn't look 7:1 ratio, what is that interpreted to?

I use this and it is working great even in direct sunlight.

I would assume that's the maximum number of displayed pixels.

found this

they advertise it as 1440x234 where infact its only 480x234. They count the Red, green and blue pixels as separate. This resolution is not sufficient for focussing but it can be used for framing.

I bought one of those cheap 7" TFT car monitors on eBay, think I paid something like 35 euro or so.
Works like a charm! :nevreness:

Ooo I want one of these when I get he fpv setup....

 

[Elliott000]

Got a foxtech one, pretty great for what i do... Gives my wife something to see when i fpv with goggs on lol

 

[kloner]

pretty clear aint it. kinda tough to get turned on but once it's set your ready to roll

 

[redridinghood]

I use one of these. The brightness levels are usable even outdoors and the battery lasts a couple of hours.

The sharpeness is good for focusing.
