I should add that it is by means perfect: the colors are off unless there is some tweaking I haven't discovered, and the battery life really sucks. The reviews on BH are worth reading.

But the point here is that field monitors can do peaking; there must be others that also do it and that have better color and better features.
Wow, that is pretty cool. More tools in the toolbox.

Thank you very much for sharing this information with me. I find it very useful.

After reading all this my decision is clear. I will not buy a field monitor because in my case for studio conditions the PC monitor is good enough, more than this Remote shooting from Canon is more than enough for my needs.

Also I made some tests and if necessary I could connect the camera to my TV screen. Please see picture bellow.

I have the aputure field monitor, agree with Lou's statements.
Peaking is handy, battery life could be better. Sometimes mine refuses to turn on unless I pull the battery off.

Included cable is too short for my needs. Have to get a longer one. It does have a DC input, so an AC adaptor should work well. My setup has too many cables already, cable management is one of the frustrations of mine. I'll have to find a good way to make myself less annoyed by those cables.
