feelworld 7 tft lcd monitor review manufacturer

The "False Color" feature alone is worth the entire price of the monitor. The False Color features helps to get your lighting exposure perfect every time. It"s super easy, and takes only a few minutes. (check YouTube for vids on how to use False Color)

(1) Monitor is not 4k. The "4K" in item title is misleading and refers to the 4k pass-thru using the HDMI input and output jacks. However the resolution is more than sufficient for our non-4k shooting.

And here"s one compelling reason to have V-Mount: Changing battery or powering down monitor stops our Canon M50 DSLR from recording. (recording stops when camera"s video out switches from external monitor to internal flip screen LCD monitor, or visa-versa) (issue is with the camera, not the monitor, and other cameras do this too) Therefore it makes sense for this camera to handle industrial sized "V-Mount" batteries. Especially since majority of amateur, semi-professional, and professional shooting takes place outdoors and requires batteries rather than directly plug-in power.

The Feelworld Lut7 monitor is a great find for this price. The 2200nit Touch Screen is a MUST HAVE. I have been able to use it on bright, sunny, beach days without the need for an additional sun-hood because of how bright it gets. That brightness will also save you on those cloudy, overcast days. On-camera monitors tend to throw back a harsh, almost mirror-like, reflection where the Feelworld Lut7 is clean and easy to see (see video for an example and an unboxing). The 7inch screen is nice because it allows you to pull up other items like RGB Parade, Vectorscopes, Grids, Audio Levels, etc. and still have plenty of room to monitor your video (again see video example). This monitor has a lot of the professional features you would find on much pricier models at a more affordable price. False Colors, RGB Parade, Wave, Vectorscope, Audio Bars, Audio and HMDI Out, LUT support...I could go on an on. Again, for this price range it is a great monitor!

The FW279S has extensive monitoring tools, including histogram, focus assist, embedded audio, false colors, zebra exposure, ratio marker, anamorphic mode, zoom etc. It could help you create the wonderful shots.

FEELWORLD FW279S provides 7" an 8-bit IPS screen with 1920x1200 resolution, 323ppi pixel density, professional color calibration to overcome natural LCD color drift. The FW279S displays sharper images, better text clarity and color reproductions regardless of your shooting conditions. The FW279S has a wide viewing angle so that everyone on set can review the action.

FEELWORLD FW279S ultra-high brightness monitor uses the "golden size" 7-inch panel. The FW279S monitor not only has the resolution and pixel density to make every shot look amazing, the high bright 2200nit screen at almost 5 times the brightness of conventional field monitors lets you shoot outdoors without reflections washing out your image. This makes it a great choice for gimbals, Steadicam and director"s monitors, delivering a crisp image without the bulk and viewing angle restrictions of a sun hood.

It"s no surprise the FW279S"s simple, practical design makes it the ideal choice for the filmmakers, cinematographers, photographers, and videographers prefer due to its size and weight for field production. It"s easy to add professional monitoring to any SDI or HDMI camera with FEELWORLD FW279S! And also it"s easy to connect, easy to mount, with a slim and simple design.

FEELWORLD uses the professional Rec.709 HD color standard, and uses the color calibration technology, with the professional instrument calibration at the factory, it can achieve monitor calibration efficiently and get accurate color reproduction easily, do not distort the color, show the real image when you shooting video.

FEELWORLD monitor support ITU standards and HD video Rec.709 standard consistent color space, advanced image processing technology, so that the image clearly presented, the color is extremely natural, to ensure accurate color reproduction, to reproduce the physical nature of shooting, enabling users to accurately evaluate the quality of various input video signals.

The menu controls are intuitive and easy to use. On the top of the monitor, you"ll get the full button layout. Two different feature buttons which are programmable to the various features that you use the most. Maybe you could set one of the shortcut keys to the image flip function so that the screen can be flipped over quickly when shooting upside down.

The monitor will automatically save the parameters you have previously set, and keep the original settings when you turn it on next time. It does not need to be reset, which is convenient and simple.

The compact design of the FW279S includes 4K HDMI and 3G-SDI so you can connect them to virtually any DSLR, prosumer or professional camera! The HDMI connection is compatible up to 4Kp30 and the SDI connection has compatibility up to 3G, support for almost all signal. You can also monitor audio using the 3.5mm stereo headphone jack or, the built in speaker.

The FW279S has 3G-SDI, 4K HDMI in and loop-out, allowing it to not only display live signals, but also send them out to other monitors simultaneously. It"s the ability to display live picture on multiple displays at once while still maintaining the original video quality.

Transmission to film crew director monitoring at the same time. Without the cable more flexible to transition between scenes effortlessly for outdoor shooting.

FEELWORLD FW279S features standard 1/4” mount points on the bottom for attaching it to cameras and rigs. When you are using the upside down installation, you can turn on the image flip function to maintain the correct orientation.

You could connect the 12V DC input you get continuous power or you can run it off of Sony compatible F970 rechargeable batteries. You can also choose D28S/D54, LP-E6 or U60 battery plate to install other different types of batteries for power supply.

Monitor manufacturer FEELWORLD has just released a new affordable 7-inch monitor, featuring a Sony NP-F style battery plate on the back to host and power a wireless video transmission system. Built on the legacy of the original F7 monitor, the FEELWORLD F7 PRO is now available for $239.

A few days ago, we covered the release of the PortKeys HS7T Metal Edition monitor, with its most exciting feature being a plate on the backside of the device to host a wireless video transmission system.

The new monitor has a 7-inch touchscreen IPS display with a maximum resolution of 1920×1200. The 16:10 aspect ratio provides some extra vertical space for monitoring tools.

The screen has a viewing angle of 180°, a contrast ratio of 1200:1, and a peak brightness of 500 nits. This level of brightness is a little disappointing since it’s way too low to make the monitor usable under bright sunlight. Moreover, it only represents a 50-nits increase over the original F7.

The FEELWORLD F7 PRO offers several input and output power options. The monitor can be powered using either a Sony NP-F battery or via a 12V DC power input. Moreover, a 5V USB-C port offers an extra power supply option, while an 8V DC output can provide power to your camera.

Just like the original F7, the PRO version is packed with the most common monitoring tools to precisely control your image. These tools can be displayed independently or in an all-scopes mode.

The FEELWORLD F7 PRO is now available for purchase on the FEELWORLD website, coming at an affordable price of $239. FEELWORLD is also offering a discount during the first week of the release, when using the promo code FEELWORLD F7 PRO at the time of purchase. Included in the box are a Micro-HDMI Cable, a Sunshade, and a Mini Hot-Shoe Mount.

If you"ve just started out in video, on-camera monitors may seem like a luxury. Experienced videographers will tell you otherwise. As well as enlarging the display to make recording easier, lots of on-camera monitors can also improve your camera"s video output. Whether you"re shooting on a cine camera, a mirrorless, or a DSLR, an external monitor is a necessity if you want to get serious about filmmaking.

You might think you don"t want to add weight to your setup or make it any bigger but an on-camera monitor is worth it. The extra big display means when you"re shooting you can see a more accurate, live representation of your footage. Should there be a speck of dust on your lens or sensor, you"ll be able to tell much easier on a 7-inch screen rather than a 3-inch screen.

Some of the more high-end on-camera monitors not only increase the size of your display but can improve your camera"s video functionality. For example, when shooting with a Panasonic Lumix S5(opens in new tab) and an Atomos Ninja V external recorder, you can shoot 12-bit RAW instead of 10-bit 4:2:2 with its internal recording option. On-camera monitors are also great additions if your camera lacks features such as a fully articulating screen such as the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K(opens in new tab).

Even if you have features turned on such as focus peaking, zebra lines, and false colors, an on-camera monitor lets you apply frame monitors which can reveal flickers that smaller monitors might not. They also enable you to proof content and show other people on set without having to cram around a small screen.

In this list, we run through the best external monitors and video recorders around so you can get the big-picture experience before you hit your editing suite and it’s too late to re-shoot.

Since the release of the Atomos Ninja V back in 2018, it has become pretty much the industry standard in monitor recorders. It"s a popular choice among both budding and professional videographers and filmmakers thanks to its beautifully calibrated 5-inch HDR display and its ability to support 4K 60p ProRes HQ, H.265, 4:2:2 ad DNxHR. The Ninja V will also support 6K Apple ProRes RAW and it"s the only monitor of this size to do so thanks to a deal between Apple and Atomos. Other features include pro-level monitor tools such as waveforms, false colors, HDR monitoring and LUT support.

If your camera doesn"t support 4K, the Ninja V might be a bit overkill as you won"t make the most out of the features you"re paying for. If you"re just after a monitor so that you can view your video easier, the Atomos Shinobi would be a better option and it will save you money. Alternatively, if you"re shooting some serious projects and need something even bigger, the Atomos Shogun(opens in new tab) which appears later in this list sports a massive 7-inch screen, perfect for using with the best cinema cameras.

With the built-in camera control for various Canon, Sony, Panasonic, Blackmagic, and even Z Cam cinema cameras, this is a great option for anyone wanting a monitor that will help a filmmaker get the shot and be a very helpful visual aid in the composition process.

For a reasonable price, you get a great package that is built to withstand the vigorous day-to-day life of a filmmaker while on set, in the studio, or for on-the-go shooting. Paired with a tough travel case for ease of transport between shoots, great monitor features, and the ability for onboard audio monitoring, the PortKeys LH5P II is a great 5.5” monitor for anyone looking to up their game in the cinematography world.

If you"re just looking for an external monitor and don"t need recording capabilities, the Atomos Shinobi delivers the display quality of the Atomos Ninja V but at a fraction of the price. It"s the perfect choice for vloggers who shoot with a camera with limited screen articulation such as the Sony A7 III(opens in new tab) or the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K(opens in new tab) which has a fixed display.

This is the big brother of the original Shinobi, offering a much larger 7inch display - and billed as the movie directors and focus directors, but also as a great presentation screen for vloggers wanting to see clearly what they are recording. Its bright 2200-nit screen is the key attraction here - but it also does much more than just monitoring your image. With HDR capability - it offers built-in Log conversion, so you can see what your raw footage is likely to look like when edited, and you can even load up your own LUTs via the built-in SD card slot.

There are so many budget 7″ monitors on the market and choosing which one to get is a bit of a crapshoot. What a lot of people don’t know is that there is very little difference with the actual panel being used on all of these monitors, as there is only a handful of manufacturers in the world who make them. So when choosing a budget monitor you should look more closely at the operating system, build-quality, after-sales service, and general usability. Don’t get me wrong, image quality is also important, but with budget monitors, a lot of them are going to look quite similar.

AndyCine is a Chinese company based out of Shenzen and they have been around for a few years now. They seem to have a reasonably good reputation based on comments I have read from people who have bought their products previously. I have never reviewed an AndyCine product before, but as always, every product no matter who it comes from gets the same balanced and unbiased treatment.

They a leading global online wholesale supplier of electronic related products especially in video and photography. and PC Monitor. Their commitment is to provide a wide range of high quality, trendy fashion products at stunning factory direct prices along with a class-leading customer service experience to our worldwide community of customers. Their target is to provide their global customers with high-quality products at competitively low factory-direct prices.

The screen is a 7″ 1920×1080 (8+2 FRC) IPS LCD panel. According to AndyCine it has 2200 cd/m2 of brightness, a contrast ratio of 1200:1, and a PPI of 323.

The monitor features a pretty basic design. The inputs and outputs are all on the bottom of the monitor, there are two battery plates on the back, and a series of buttons on the top.

There is nothing overly unique or special about the design of the monitor. Personally I don’t like the large ANYCINE 4K or Ultra-Bright labeling on the front of the monitor.

The build quality is fairly average and it does feel very plasticky. The buttons don’t inspire any confidence, and the HDMI ports are not countersunk which is dangerous as they face straight down. The buttons are also quite noisy when you press them. If you shake the monitor quite gently you can hear the top buttons and dials moving around.

Look, the build quality isn’t the greatest, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that you will run into any issues. You just need to know what to expect if you buy one of these monitors. If you compare the build quality of this monitor to a SmallHD, or even some Atomos models, it isn’t nearly as good.

The monitor does have a bit of weight to it, and if you are using it with a hybrid mirrorless or small digital cinema camera then you may find that an issue. I personally think a 7″ monitor is too big for a hybrid mirrorless or DSLR. A 7″ monitor is much better suited to a mid-sized or larger digital cinema camera.

The mounting holes are made well and you can attach monitor arms or other mounting solutions without anything wobbling around or moving when it shouldn’t.

As I mentioned earlier, the input and outputs are located on the bottom of the monitor. The HDMI In and Out are not countersunk so there is no protection.

On the bottom of the monitor, you will also see two strange indents with holes that are covered up. This is where the SDI ports would go if you bought a different version of the monitor. AndyCine has obviously just made the same casing for both models and they just cut out the plastic covers that cover the holes out for the SDI/HDMI version.

The operating system of the monitor uses a combination of buttons, a scroll wheel, and touch screen functionality. This allows you to use the monitor completely via touchscreen operation, or through the use of buttons. It is nice to have both options because if you are using the monitor in cold conditions you may have gloves on and touchscreen is then not always the easiest to use.

You shouldn’t confuse the touchscreen functionality with the same sort of way it works on a SmallHD or an Atomos. On the AndyCine C7 the touchscreen operation isn’t implemented nearly as well. In saying that, it is still pretty good for a budget monitor.

The monitor does have pinch to zoom. The pinch to zoom does work and you can drag the position around on the screen, however, it didn’t always work, and on occasion, I would have to do it more than once to get it to work.

To bring up the main menu you can double-tap on the screen. However, I did also find that like some Atomos monitors, I had to continually double-tap the screen to try and bring up the menu. It wasn’t always as responsive as I would like.

Having used SmallHD’s fantastic Page OS system over the last few years it is very hard to go back to anything else. In saying that, AndyCine has a pretty good job with the operating system and it is better than most other monitors in this price range.

The monitor draws 20W and it can take an input voltage of 7-24V. It utilizes dual Sony NP battery plates. Batteries can be hot-swapped on the monitor.

There is nothing worse than a monitor that has a very noisy fan. Some of the Atomos offerings sound like there is a mini hairdryer being used in the same room. The AndyCine is relatively quiet and the two fans are barely audible. You will not pick up any fan noise if you have this mounted on your camera.

Image quality and usability are at least to me, the two biggest boxes that need to be ticked with any monitor that is going to be used in a professional environment.

The images appear almost too sharp for my personal taste, however, I think most people would be happy with it. It is hard in a review to show you screen quality. You really need to see a screen yourself to be able to judge quality.

The screen only covers 100% of Rec.709, it doesn’t cover DCI-P3, nor will it cover Rec.2020, etc. Strangely the monitor does have HDR settings that include HLG P3, HLG.2020, and HLG.709. I’m not sure what good these modes would be given the monitor only covers a Rec.709 Color Gamut. They are really more like simulated views of what HDR would look like.

The light sensor that detects ambient light levels and automatically adjusts the screen for optimal brightness is a little bit of a double-edged sword. While it does certainly work, if you place your hand in front of the monitor to press one of the preset buttons, the monitor starts to darken because it thinks the environment you are in is getting darker. This is just something you need to keep in mind when you are using it. You can, however, change the Backlight light sensor to Manual instead of Auto.

I tested the monitor by shooting a white card and exposing it at 100 IRE on a waveform. I then played back that clip and measured the brightness using a Sekonic C-800. The AndyCine C7 monitor had the backlight set to manual and the backlight brightness at 100. It recorded a brightness level of 2348 lux, which exceeded the claimed figure of 2200.

How does that figure compare to similarly priced monitors such as the pnbe 7″ 2000 NIT HDR Monitor that I recently reviewed? I measured the pnbe monitor with the backlight set to high, the brightness at 100, and the gamma set to 1.6. As you can see the monitor recorded a brightness level of 2030 lux, which slightly exceeded the claimed figure of 2000. The trouble with the pnbe monitor is that when you turned the brightness up to achieve 2000 nits it became all milky and unusable,

As far as color accuracy is concerned (the monitor’s Kelvin color temperature was set at 6500K), the AndyCine C7 recorded 6439K. This was a very good result.

The brightness of the AndyCine C7 is impressive and unlike some other ‘affordable’ high-bright monitors the image doesn’t look washed out when the brightness is at its maximum level.

As I just mentioned the operating system and the way the touchscreen functionality works could be a little better, but I’m not going to complain too much because this is a sub $300 USD monitor.

With monitors, you need to be able to access assist tools quickly. With the AndyCine C7 this is possible to do and I think most potential users will be happy with the way it works.

The monitor is easy to mount, but I don’t like that the HDMI connectors are not countersunk. When you have these ports on the bottom of the monitor you get forced to place the monitor in certain positions when it is on a camera so the HDMI cable doesn’t ens up hitting something.

The pbne 7″ 2000 nit monitor was one that I recently tested, and as it falls in the same sort of price range as the AndyCine I thought I would compare the two.

To maintain a fair playing field I output the exact same image from the Kinefinity Mavo LF to both monitors. That way I could see exactly how each image appeared.

There are not actually that many other 7″ Ultra-Bright monitors that have touchscreen functionality (particularly in this price range), however, I will list monitors that have similar brightness (2000 nits and above) and size:

The AndyCine C7 is a pretty good monitor. It is bright, sharp, and the colors it displays are reasonably accurate (although maybe slightly oversaturated). The operating system and touchscreen functionality could be better, but for a monitor in this price range, they are better than most of the competition.

In saying that it is very hard to fault a monitor at this price and I don’t want to sound overly critical, because at $269.99 USD it offers pretty good value for money, especially if you are after a high-bright 7″ monitor that also has touch screen functionality.

At the end of the day, in a lot of cases, you end up paying for what you get. Nobody should be buying a sub $300 USD 7″ high-bright monitor and expect that it will be as well built or as good as say a Small HD Cine 7. There will always be compromises that have to be made if you don’t want to spend a lot of money.

AndyCine has done a pretty good job with the C7 and I think anyone who will be looking at a sub $300 USD monitor like this would be reasonably happy if they purchased it. The touchscreen functionality is what makes it stand out from other monitors in this category.
