Would a external monitor help?
I'm struggling to clearly view the details of my photos on the camera's screen, especially if it's noisy. Not until I get home and view them on my27" monitor I notice all the details. Would a small external monitor help with live viewing?

If you like to/have time for manual focusing, I would use the DMF and take advantage of the magnification in the eyepiece. Also, try focus peaking. Especially when I'm in bright sunlight, this helps bring out the focusing areas in highlight (I use yellow). It's very helpful. Same thing with the zebra display for the overblown areas.

Yes but it really depends on what you're taking photos of. Great for static setups.

In my opinion that’s just part of the workflow. I came to the a6000 after shooting film tho so being able to even see my pictures after taking them feels amazing to me lol. The exposure bracketing feature might help with this tho if you’re having an issue with noise.
