LCD attachment on the Leica V-LUX Typ 114

The LCD screen on the Leica V-LUX (Typ 114) is flexibly attached to the body. In particular, the LCD is hinged on the side and can be flipped out for odd-angle shots in both portrait and landscape orientation. Also, this fully articulated, swivel type of LCD attachment is often appreciated by videographers for its flexibility. Moreover, v-loggers like the design because the screen can be turned to be front-facing.

In terms of size and resolution, the rear LCD of the Leica V-LUX Typ 114 measures 3.0 inches and offers a resolution of 921,000 dots. The panel is not touch sensitive.
