LCD Display for Camcorders

The LCD display lets you view what you’re shooting and also review the footage you’ve already shot.

You should look for a nice, large LCD, at least 2.5-inches diagonally, but don’t let that be a deal breaker if the rest of the specs are good.

If you’re going for a budget model, be sure the LCD is color.

You can’t review your shots as well if you can’t get an accurate sense of the color.
