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.

What I like:-The R6 is rated at over 2700 NITS and man, this thing is bright. Shooting outdoor events is perfect with this monitor as in the past 500-1000 nits didn't do it for me.-The ability to load luts, adjust picture settings, sound is great for $250-It accepts NPF and Canon batteries which makes use of my old batteries I would've otherwise tossed.-The size and weight. 5.5 inches is perfect and compact if you like quick setups.What I don't like:-The interface is clunky and feels like the 2000s. This is the 2020s! They should made the UI better.-Going through the each setting can be cumbersome because of how sensitive the touch screen can be when adjusting settings individually-The manual is poorly written and doesn't have basic information like resetting the monitor or deleting and organizing LUTs.-For example: I loaded some LUTs to test it and now I'm stuck with it in my list without the ability to delete or at least clean it up (anyone know how?)-Desview doesn't have a support system like Atomos so if you got issues, you're SoL.-The screen scratches easily.-Because of the high NITS, the batteries are finished within 30 min. You need to have at least 4 on hand which isn't a big deal bc you can charge/swap but it gets kinda annoying seeing that battery meter go from green to red, real quick.Bottom line: It does the job. I needed a reference monitor for outdoor events and something light to attach to my gimbal and it certainly does that. Is it something I'll shoot a short or a feature with? Probably for a B-Cam. Otherwise, the image is acceptable.While it's price is 50% off of an Atomos monitor, I still wouldn't pay full price. It'd be worth to get on BF or Prime Day.

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.
