SmallHD Quantum 27 True Reference OLED Display

The SmallHD Quantum 27 True Reference OLED Display is a 27-inch 4K production reference monitor featuring a Quantum Dot OLED display. It offers a peak brightness of 1000 nits, a 1,500,000:1 contrast ratio, and a wide color gamut, all within a lightweight and easily riggable chassis. The monitor is designed for both on-set and post-production workflows, providing a balance of high-quality HDR performance and portability.

The Quantum 27 leverages next-gen Quantum Dot OLED display technology that is claimed to combine unprecedented luminance and color uniformity with an exceptionally wide viewing angle. As a complete set-to-post monitoring solution, Quantum 32 is stated to meet the highest standards for picture contrast and color accuracy, with customizable software tools as well as a rugged and lightweight chassis, rich with integrated mounting options and accessories.

This collaboration with Samsung Display is claimed to allow SmallHD to combine their world-leading quantum-dot OLED display technology with SmalHD’s Emmy Award-winning monitor platform to deliver the best monitor display SmallHD has ever made.

Quantum Dot OLED Technology

Quantum 27’s Quantum Dot OLED self-emissive display panel is an innovative implementation of 2023 Nobel Prize-winning nanotechnology. Developed by Samsung Display, QD-OLEDs direct high-energy light from blue organic LED (OLED) into a layer of printed red and green quantum dots. The quantum dots are optimized for maximum light transmission; when the quantum dot sub-pixels are excited by blue light, they become photoluminescent, emitting very pure red and green light while the blue light is directly passed through. The result is an exceptionally wide range of volumetric color expressions that more closely approximate human vision when compared to conventional OLED.

It is the perfect balance between post quality monitoring and a lighter chassis that is easy to handle and rig on set.

All of the Quantum Series monitors feature a custom-designed architecture running PageOS, SmallHD’s operating system. PageOS is a customizable page-based interface with full control over tools, color, exposure, LUTs, and more.

The SmallHD Unibody Smart Chassis offers multiple, interchangeable mounting points, DC power IN and 2-pin power OUT, pre-threaded (M4) 100mm pattern mount, dovetail mounting rail for battery plates and other accessories, and support for a new WiFi dongle.

The Quantum 27 ships ready for color-critical studio and broadcast desktop use and includes a top handle and cheese plate inserts for mobile field production configurations.
