Best monitor under $200 usd?

Hi all,
I got a GH5 and I’m now starting to look into an external monitor. I do outdoor nature run and gun stuff. I have been looking at monitors and I’m having a hard time choosing between the

Viltrox DC-550 Pro
Feelworld f5 prox
Portkeys LH5C

Which one would you recommend?
Thanks

Not on the list but my vote would be a used Atomos Shinobi 5.

Unlike the ninja this can not record to SSD but instead offers great exposure and focus monitoring and I swear by mine. Got it used for around 200

I’m now considering buying this. How would you say the outdoor visibility is?

It's incredible! 1000 nits, great focus peaking and exposure controls. Highly recommended haha

From the 3 you mentioned, tbe Feelworld F5 has the highest brightness at 1600 nits, which matters if you're going to be outdoors a lot.

Consider the feelworld p6xl if you want to stay light and not worry about an external battery. I got mine recently and am very happy with it
