SmallHD is Introducing New Budget 7" Monitors: 701 Lite & 702 Lite

[Update]: The 701 Lite and the 702 Lite have been officially announced.

This time, however, they've gone with a lower-than-1080p resolution to bring the price way down. The panels on the 701 Lite and 702 Lite will be 1200 x 800, and though that may be disappointing from a resolution standpoint, if it's as good or better than the one on the standard DP7, it will be plenty good for focusing, and should be fine for color. From a software standpoint, these look to share the same 3D LUTs and custom pages as the 702 Bright. 

The new monitors will come in at $700 and $900, which is quite a difference compared to the $1,500 702 Bright, but the discount is thanks to lower resolution and lower brightness (450 nits vs 1000 nits).

Thanks to 4K Shooters for the initial scoop, here is official info on both monitors, which look more or less identical to the previous 702 Bright on the outside:
