Looking for feedback on entry-level DSLR monitors

Hi all, I'd like to get some user feedback on what I would consider to be entry-level dslr monitors (i.e. Feelworld, Andycine, Neewer, etc.). I'm using a D7200 for both still and video work but having suffered a loss of vision in my right eye, I think the external screen would be a help.
Recommendations, pro & con, and user experience would be a great help. Thanks in advance for your comments.
Thanks - Jeff

Jeff, What is your budget and what size you thinking of?

Hi, Thanks for the recommendation however the resolution on this is too low for what I need. I'm thinking along the lines of the FeelWorld F5 or similar but hard to get real user feedback.
Thanks - Jeff

Haven't used one but if your just using it for viewing, it should be ok.

I have a Feelworld F5 monitor and use it sometimes. The monitor works rather well. For DSLR cameras it adds focus peaking and zebra stripes to the overexposed areas. Like all screens it suffers a bit in bright light but the shade helps. There are more expensive monitors that are brighter but I have not tested them.

I have used it with my PENF for macro work. I can also use my android tablet via bluetooth or the fold out screen on the camera. In terms of brightness the Feelworld is slightly better. The Feelworld does NOT allow for touch screen focusing but can be connected and disconnected and access to all camera functions is maintained. The tablet has touchscreen focus but you lose the ability to change some camera settings until you disconnect Bluetooth and then of course you have to reconnect. The camera screen has touch screen focusing. I have a shade for the camera screen that helps a bit.

What is the issue with the right eye? Can a replacement diopter compensate?

I wish the solution were that simple. Suffice it to say that the loss of right-sided vision is irreversible so I'm exploring solutions that would compensate for the loss.

Thanks. I'm leaning to the FeelWorld series. They have some decent YouTube video reviews as well. I do most of my shoots with a tripod/monopod with a grip for accessories. Probably will decide in the coming days. Just wish I could see one in person to help me lock in my choice.
