SmallHD Quantum 27 4K Reference Monitor

SmallHD Quantum 27 - Advanced 4K OLED Monitor for Color-Critical Monitoring

SmallHD Quantum 27 is a 26.5-inch Quantum Dot OLED monitor designed for professional filmmakers and photographers who require the highest precision in color and image quality. With its true 4K resolution and impressive brightness, this monitor is ideal for 4K HDR monitoring and color-critical viewing in various production environments.

Image Performance and Color Accuracy

Quantum 27 utilizes advanced Quantum Dot OLED technology, developed in collaboration with Samsung Display, to emit narrow-band RGB light that ensures consistent color accuracy even at wide viewing angles up to 60°. The monitor also covers 99% of the DCI-P3 color space, making it an excellent choice for both production and post-production. The high luminance and uniform color reproduction allow you to trust that the images look as good on the screen as they do in the video.

Design and Handling

Quantum 27 is built to withstand the tough demands of real-world production environments. It features a built-in handle and feet, as well as a universal 100 mm VESA mount and an Arca rail on the back for easy mounting. Compared to the larger model, Quantum 32, the Quantum 27 is about 3 kg lighter, making it more manageable and easier to use in video village or in multi-monitor setups. With a total weight of 8.3 kg, it is both robust and easy to transport.

Inputs and Outputs and Power Flexibility

This monitor is equipped to handle full 4K p60 workflows with four 12G-SDI inputs and outputs, as well as one HDMI 2.0 input and output. This provides flexibility for various installation options. Power options are also versatile, with two two-pin LEMO outputs, USB-C, USB-A, and compatibility with Gold or V-Mount battery plates, allowing you to customize the power supply to your needs.

PageOS Interface and Monitoring Tools

Quantum 27 is powered by SmallHD's innovative PageOS, which offers a page-based and customizable interface. Use tools like EL Zone for exposure control, waveform, vectorscope, and a Calman-compatible calibration guide to maximize your monitoring experience. The haptic knobs light up upon touch and support various input types, providing quick and intuitive access to features and LUTs. With multi-view support, it is easy to monitor multiple sources simultaneously.
