First review when it's even mentioned this monitor has a fan :D. Nice to know it's not noiseless . Thx.

[@NOlimitsON]

Welcome, stay tuned)

Paul Joy talks about the fan in his review 6 months ago

Сегодня как раз этот Моник купил, еще не разбирался в нем

[@willvazquez3218]

Great video! One of the best features of this monitor is the ability to apply a LUT to the HDMI out. I bought the monitor to use with my Nikon Z8, so I could monitor with a LUT, and send out the LUT applied HDMI signal out to wireless transmitter for client to see on set on their monitor. Unfortunately, the first day I went to use it on set, suddenly the HDMI out did not function at all, black image, so I had to return the unit. Not sure if it was my unit, or if the overall reliability of Portkeys monitors are poor.

[@NOlimitsON]

Hm… mine works perfectly fine… sorry to hear that

[@willvazquez3218]

@@NOlimitsON maybe I’ll buy a new one. I noticed you are running the new firmware. When connecting a second monitor to the HDMI out of the portkeys, does it display the camera control info like shutter speed and iso on the second monitor? Thanks.

[@PortkeysMonitor]

Dear customer, could you tell me whether LH7P HDMI OUT is not providing a signal to other devices? I am sorry that I have not received any feedback like that for the LH7P yet.

[@findingefilm]

Great review! Quick question. When using a transmitter/reciever, do you know how long the range is for the camera controls? I mean, can you sit a few meters away from the camera, and still operate it?

[@NOlimitsON]

Thanks) it’s wi-fi based, so I wouldn’t expect a big range - I think about 10-20 meters

[@PortkeysMonitor]

without any obstruction around within 7 meters

[@weddingsbyryanfitch]

Great review! @PortkeysMonitor Is there a way, or a future plan, to have the white tracking square be visable on the Portkeys monitor? Very important for subject/eye tracking to know when it strays even slightly because, for me, that's a dealbreaker unfortunately.

[@PortkeysMonitor]

We've noticed that many customers have expressed a similar request regarding the visibility of the tracking square on our monitor. Rest assured that your suggestion has been conveyed to our engineering team for their consideration. Whether or not this feature will be incorporated into future firmware updates is subject to our team's development timeline and priorities.

[@weddingsbyryanfitch]

@@PortkeysMonitor thanks for responding! That would be a game changer!

[@babybrown4289]

@@PortkeysMonitor All of my colleagues agree that the white tracking square is super important and we all own at least one Portkeys LHP monitor each. I have this one arriving on Thursday and, much as I feel lucky to have the ability to touch focus I wish, wish, wish I knew when the tracking was going astray. White Square please PortkeysGang!

HI! Thanks so much for the review. What type of battery should I buy for this screen? I've seen the Sony ones that aren't good.

Any NPF Batteries basically)

Hi, nice video! How fast get it back to connection after switching off? Happened automatically or do I have to connect manually after switching of? Thanks for your information!

[@NOlimitsON]

Thanks) really fast) almost immediately and automatically

[@janeurich6320]

@@NOlimitsON hi, I have the problem that once I have connected the monitor and switch off the camera, the PC network connection automatically switches off again, which means I have to go into the settings every time and switch on the PC control and connect the camera to the monitor again connect. Do you have a solution to the problem?

[@PortkeysMonitor]

@@janeurich6320 Hi, could you please tell me your camera and monitor model? Yes, now our monitors won't be connected automatically to the some camera models especially sony camera

[@janeurich6320]

Hi, i have the same setup. FX30 & LH7P.

[@PortkeysMonitor]

@@janeurich6320 Hi, LH7P can't be connected automatically to FX30 because of Sony's restrictions on third party

[@SeattleCoorain]

Many using this monitor complain about the fan noise if using an on camera shotgun mic. Any thoughts? Wished this reviewer had measured the noise level and discussed how correlated noise was to LCD brightness with a bit more specific examples - just sounded too much like a sales pitch. YMMV

[@NOlimitsON]

It can get pretty noisy, but I hadn’t have issues with it

[@PortkeysMonitor]

Hi, LH7P(the latest firmware version) won't have fan noise~
