Monitor cheaper than binoviewers new
      #2334203 - 04/17/08 04:15 PM

I just bought these and have used them with my electronic ep, my olympus E-510, and of course a portable DVD player. At $279.00 Sharper Images Private video Viewer is a cheap and handy moniter for Video Assisted Astronomy.

The lack of brightness and contrast controls may limit their usefulness. Still an intriguing idea though. It will be interesting when one of the these bino video viewers has all the features at the right price point.

Hmmm, Orion has binoviewers for $146. The best money I've spent in a long time.

I think you are confusing Binoviewers with the main topic of Stereo Video Viewers. The title is a bit confusing.Rick.

I have always wanted to look into a pair of those! The stores in the mall wont let you near them! Like Mark said, its a great concept, I would just have to try before I buy.
