How Important is Screen Resolution in an Field Monitor
Like televisions, one specification that separates different models of field monitors is screen resolution.
Field monitors are small, with screen sizes typically around four to seven inches. Casually viewing videos on small screens with low resolution may be fine for watching YouTube, but higher resolutions make a noticeable difference when you’re working on a serious video shoot. It can help you keep the image in focus, and you’ll have a better sense of light, color and contrast.
Lower-quality monitors have resolutions of 320 x 240 and 480 x 230. Better quality field monitors will have resolutions of 800 x 480, or even higher.
