LCD focus

Dear All,
Sorry if this is a silly question but can I assume the focus on my LCD screen of a digital camera is the same as what would appear from the CCD chip?
Thanks

Yeah... but critical focus is far easier to determine when a larger display device is used.

Non-DSLR type digital cameras (those with non-removable lenses and real-time LCD displays) typically will provide a video-out jack which can be hooked up to an external display monitor (or laptop, etc) such as is seen below.

Used in conjunction with a multi-holed focusing mask, the display can really nail down critical focus!
