I am looking for a small LCD monitor. I might just buy a DVD portable player and use the video input to that but that screen is a bit large for what I'm wanting to do. Color is nice but B$W would be ok too.
I was wondering if perhaps the typical flip out LCD monitor that you see on the old analog camcorders use the old ntsc style input or is all that electronics split up between the little LCD monitor and the camcorder itself? I'm not afraid of hardware hacking and have quite a bit of test equipment, but if the answer is that most camcorders with LCD monitors don't really have an NTSC input line then its not worth the bother.
OTOH, that little flip out monitor on my Sony D8 camcorder is just about right. But I don't want to cannibalize it. I'm sure I could get some broken stuff from ebay or pawn shops but if the electronics to input via NTSC is scattered all over the camcorder electronics and is not built in to the display itself then there really is no point in going that route.
