Jared Abrams at Cinema5D takes a quick look at these two monitors that are designed for HDSLR shooters. The Small HD is a little more expensive, has a few more options you might like, but also uses slightly different peaking and focus assist color highlighting.
By they way, here's the optional V-H50 hood for the Marshall 5" HDMI monitor. It's shown on Marshall's site, but not yet available from other sellers (at least I can't find it on B&H).

When did Editors become prima donnas?
Walter Biscard wonders why editors aren't happy with what they have, and why they keep complaining...
