Hi, I need a screen that is 5.7 to 7 inches ,can display at 1920x1080p at 30-60fps,or x1200p,but 1080p is perfect,I'd prefer a IPS screen with good viewing angles ,and has extremely low lag. I want to use it to stream video ,from a PC video card like a RTX 2080 or AMD 5700XT,with HDMI out. So,it has to have as low lag as possible as it will be used for gaming,so 16.7ms or less preferably.I've looked into camera monitors a little from Feelworld,but can't seem to get a
straight answer on lag with these tiny screens.
Hoping to find a gamer who is also into photography, who knows about this equipment to help out,as they'd understand what I am shooting for ,best.

I cannot use a screen bigger then 7~ inches,8 inches is too big as I am legally blind. Any help would be great. Budget? I Want to keep it under 1000 USD if possible, thanks.
 
I do have a eyoyo that has worked well for me. I can't say about the ms, but I play my ps4 pro on it while also using it as an external for both a 5d Mark IV and a Sony Alpha A73

It's this one - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B077YL6W65/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1


Thanks for your feedback. I know you can't give exact numbers,but, How bad is the lag while playing games on your PS4Pro ? Would you say its Similar to what you'd get on a AVG VA/IPS screen on your PC when PC gaming? or is it allot worse ? Similar~ ?
Feelworld states that the newer Master Series they have out, has lag of just 10ms. Thank you so much for responding,its really hard to get feedback on this topic. I hope others respond,with any data they may have.
How does audio work ,is it out of sync at all to what the PS4Pro is pumping out by any degree,versus what you see,like when npc's speak in game or during cutscenes?

It's more similar imho. I don't notice a glaring lag. It's quite playable actually.


How's this for customer service. Here's a video of my Acer Predator 165 hz running right by it along with an HP Omen 32 75 HZ "gaming" display. I'll let you judge for yourself. If you would like access to the full recording so you can do a slowdown, I don't mind linking it at all either.



Just in case the embedding doesn't work

I was able to downlad the file you made and better analyze it offline... TBH its Far better then I'd ever hoped it would be,the real world lag is extremely minimal. Thank you very much for setting up a real world test case like this,it perfectly illustrated what I needed to know. Yes,this is beyond customer service!! If your ever in Ottawa Canada and need anything,message me.

Hi, I have another question,sorry. How do you power the 7" screen? Went to a local camera shop today,they did not know what to reccomend. I need an ac adaptor I guess,as it will be plugged directly into a pc hdmi video card port,any model reccomendations ? Using a Feelworld MA7 7" 1920x1200,bought on ebay last week. Thanks for any suggestions.

Good question. Initially I used a Canon LP-E6 AC Adapter that I had spare for my Canon 5D Mark III and IV since the monitor supported the battery. It actually powered the unit perfectly. It doesn't seem in stock anymore, but this is it. I bought it 5 years ago! - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007FMG6D6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Then a I had a spare one of these for a video light I had purchased - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071GYVL7C/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and found that it worked. So I just ordered another one. So that's what I use now. I'm actually using the monitor as my twitch Chat monitor. Here's a pic of it in use. I can't say if this cord would work for you, but it does work perfectly for me.

I looked up your Feelworld monitor and I think there's a good chance that adapter would work. How are you currently powering the unit now?

I am not. Its sitting here in the box. I havent powered it on yet.

Edit, just ordered off amazon ,that Viltrox 6.5 foot 12v ac adaptor you linked ,will have it next week,along with a few other universal 12v ac kits ,in the the 12 to 25 usd range,to try.
Something of these should work.
