Hi!
I would like to get an LCD monitor in the 15"-20" range to aid in focusing on set and to allow my producer to see what the camera is capturing (I'm operating the camera). I'm using an XL2, so I don't need HD. The color doesn't need to be very accurate, so that's why I'm not looking at a CRT. I am looking at the JVC GD 19L1GU (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/410712-REG/JVC_GD19L1GU_JVC_19_GD_19L1GU_Professional.html). However, B&H does not state if this monitor can switch 4:3/16:9 aspect ration, and I will need to be able to preview both. Anyone know if this monitor does that? Any other recommendations (budget for the monitor preferably under $600 at least)?
