My Posts This: Topic Forum | Just remember that unless you're using a commercial grade system (crazy expensive), the downlinks that we typically use are only good for SD at best and a HD monitor is overkill. Find something that you can see but a shade is something that we always use in Hollywood, reguardless of the image quality. The shade not only bocks sun light but shadows and reflections as well that can distract the director.
Personally, I'd give the director his own shaded private monitor and use a splitter to attach a much larger viewer for anyone else...with or without a shade. Remember that a lot of directors are used to a 8-10 inch Sony 8020 style monitor and want to see the image as one would in a theater. Check out the Hoodman ( http://www.hoodmanusa.com/ ) shades typical design but don't be afraid to make a shade from cardboard, it's done all the time in Hollywood as shades tend to get destroyed pretty easily.
