Cheap HDMI Field Monitor?

Q. Is there any cheap HDMI field monitor, for under 100$ preferably? At least 7"

A. There is nothing "cheap" about HDMI field monitors, but for around $200 you can find a number of them

But for any quality, you need to consider something like this

You did not mention if you were using this monitor with a dSLR. If so, you need to spend some time on this link

By the time you add all the accessories necessary to make your dSLR a viable video camera, you could buy a real video camera
