The monitor is now available for $600.
Overview of FEELWORLD
Chinese manufacturer FEELWORLD is recognized for producing affordable field monitors. Their products are a good choice for those looking to purchase their first external monitor or a backup unit without spending too much.
The New FEELWORLD S7 Monitor
Last year, FEELWORLD released the HDMI-only L7 monitor, which was among the first of their products to feature a metal housing instead of plastic. The new S7 continues this rugged design and adds support for 12G-SDI. Here are the details:
Technical Specifications of the FEELWORLD S7
The FEELWORLD S7 has a 7-inch IPS touchscreen display with a resolution of 1920×1200, a contrast ratio of 1200:1, a viewing angle of 160°, 8-bit color (10-bit FRC), and a brightness of 1600 nits. This may be slightly less bright compared to other monitors on the market that can reach 2000cd/m².
The back of the monitor features three inputs (12G-SDI, 3G-SDI, and HDMI 2.0) and two outputs (12G-SDI and HDMI 2.0). The S7 supports video signals up to 4K60p and has SDI/HDMI signal cross-conversion capabilities in both directions.
The monitor can store up to 52 custom 3D LUTs, which can be looped out through the HDMI and SDI outputs. It also includes common monitoring tools such as waveform, vectorscope, histogram, peaking, aspect ratio, anamorphic de-squeeze, false color, grids, and more.
The maximum power consumption is approximately 16W. The monitor comes with a dual Sony NP-F battery plate as standard, but an optional V-mount battery plate is available for separate purchase. The monitor can also be powered via a 7-24V DC input using a V-mount battery and a D-Tap cable.
Design and Construction
Unlike many other FEELWORLD monitors made of plastic, the S7 features a CNC-machined aluminum housing. It measures 242x165x23mm, weighs approximately 550g, and has three 1/4”-20 mounting points (left, right, and bottom).
Price and Availability
The monitor is priced at $599.99 and includes a mini hot shoe mount, a Sony NP-F970 Dual Battery Plate, and several HDMI cables.
