My aging eyes need a bigger, sharper screen for focusing when using my GH2. What do you use for external monitoring?

I'm using my ipad via bluetooth when I need a bigger screen. Haven't needed it much however as I find the camera easy to focus with the evf.

Sorry, I have the gh3, saw your post is for the gh2.

Bill - are you using expanded focus? GH2/3 shooters tend not to use monitors because expanded focus is so good. And, as Duane suggests, the wi-fi mode on the GH3 is a great alternative to the expense of a monitor.

If I were going to buy a monitor, though, the best quality and value for the money are the SmallHD DP6 (http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?icep_ff3=9&pub=5575034783&toolid=10001&campid=5337235943&customid=&icep_uq=SmallHD+DP6&icep_sellerId=&icep_ex_kw=&icep_sortBy=12&icep_catId=21162&icep_minPrice=&icep_maxPrice=&ipn=psmain&icep_vectorid=229466&kwid=902099&mtid=824&kw=lg) or a 5.6" Ikan (http://www.adorama.com/IAV5600E.html?kbid=66297), but if you're shopping based on price alone, you may want something like this $209 5" Lilliput with peaking.

Cheers, and good luck with your decision.
