Monitor for Outdoor Use

[zared619]

Hi all,

My mother is starting to do some photography work and she would like a monitor that she can take to her shoots. Most importantly, it needs to be highly visible in outdoor conditions.

I'm not much of a monitor guy, but I believe I'm looking for a matte screen with high brightness, but if I'm off base let me know.

Looking for suggestions for a 1920x1080 display that's 22-24 inches.

Thanks in advance.

You could also consider a hood for the monitor

zared619, how is she going to power the monitor & the computer outside unless thru an extension cord? why not get a laptop?

She has a laptop, but it's a 15.6 inch screen. She wants to have a larger screen to preview the pictures for people at the events. She will be using an extension cord.

take her to bestbuy or something like that to have her actually see what the screens' outputs look to her as your eyes are different from her.

The only issue with that is the fact that the main use of the monitor will be outside with natural light and a store is all artificial light.

you will still be able to see what a matte screen looks like even if indoor not outdoor. I prefer matte screens over gloss screens.
