UPDATE 9/6/2023: I’ve used the monitor at a few more weddings recently and have been consistently annoyed by something I missed in the review. The display on the Lilmon 5 is quite reflective, especially compared to the Shinobi. Testing it for the review I hadn’t really noticed it that much. I knew it was more reflective but it didn’t bother me. However, after using it more extensively it has gotten a bit annoying. It’s not a deal breaker for me personally but it’s worth noting.

Compare to T5 +, which display is more reflective?
@JoshBirman
10 ай бұрын
The Lilmon 5 is definitely more reflective due to the glossy panel. But the T5+ was a worse experience in my opinion because the screen would get washed out if you weren’t looking at it straight on. The effectiveness of the Lilmon 5 is definitely annoying but it only happens when the sun is hitting it straight on. The T5+’s issue was there regardless of the lighting environment.

Slap-on, non-adhesive, anti-glare sheets (NOT the glass screen protector type) could be a less than $10 solution for the reflection issue. Just find some made for computer monitors and cut down to the size you need. Low tech solution that isn't exactly factory pretty, but it works quite well and will go unnoticed by pretty much everyone but you.

HDMI OUT port is a nice option when you are trying to record AND live-stream at the same time. We run the HDMI out through a video capture card and then to a laptop to do our live social media broadcasts. Not helpful if you have to move around more than a few feet, but for a mostly static camera (on a tripod, restricted to a confined media/press-box, etc.,) it's super convenient.

B&H offers the Portkey you'd raved about WITH a sunshade included. Would you say that's worth it over the Lilmon 5 or should I go with the Lilmon? For reference, I'm largely doing short film work (mostly interiors) and a little product work (some outdoors) on a BMPCC 6K pro.
@JoshBirman

I think the Lilmon 5 is probably a better buy. It’s noticeably brighter and even though the PT6 comes with a sunshade you’re going to be able to see the Lilmon 5 better. Also, I’m pretty sure the Lilmon has better colors than the PT6. From memory they are more accurate than what the PT6 produced.

I absolutely LOVE the size and thinness of the PT6! It’s also has better build quality overall. But the 600nit display just wasn’t bright enough for me. Because of that it’s honestly kinda hard to compare. If the PT6 had a 1,000nit screen then I would probably take that over the Lilmon 5. But it doesn’t and for that reason it’s not even an option for me and my use case.

Find out what IRE value your camera has middle grey set at (mine’s 39). Set the Green color to your middle gray value. Increase your camera’s exposure by 1 stop. Set your Pink color to this. For black and white clipping you just have to eyeball it.
