This is a nice sturdy monitor but there are some issues I have with this product. You cannot connect this item directly to AC. It has to be powered by a large DC power supply that's provided when purchased. For convince and ease, I like the option to have to have the ability to plug directly into a wall outlet or uses a battery but this product only gives you the one option. The monitor is heavy and you may want to find out what kind of support brackets you want to use before making a purchase. Not as bright as the previous product (SmallHD 1703 HDR). Last, if the monitor momentarily looses the HD signal an image of an animal pops up as a screen saver for less than a second. It's annoying and the only professional monitor I work with that does this.
