SmallHD OLED 16: 4K production monitor now open for pre-order

SmallHD has opened pre-orders for the OLED 16, a 16" 4K OLED production monitor built for DIT and DP workflows, with infinite contrast, four machined dials, and full 12G-SDI I/O. Price: $5,999.

SmallHD has announced the OLED 16, a 16" 4K OLED production monitor aimed at DIT and DP workflows.

The 400-nit display offers 3840 x 2160 (UHD) resolution, true 10-bit color, a 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio, and coverage of 100% DCI-P3 and 80% Rec.2020. SmallHD says the OLED panel delivers true blacks and zero haloing, which it reckons gives advantages over LCD-based alternatives for critical exposure work and shadow detail.

Side-by-side viewing

The unibody chassis is machined from aircraft-grade aluminum, weighs 4.72 kg (10.4 lbs), and is sized for side-by-side viewing on DIT carts, DP stands, or Video Village (though at 400 nits, it's better suited to controlled or shaded environments than direct sunlight). A Smart Rail Connector and 100 mm VESA-compatible mount provide multiple accessory configurations.

I/O comprises 4x 12G-SDI in/out, 1x HDMI 2.0 in/out, 1x 4-pin XLR power input, 1x USB 2.0 (5V / 2.4A), 1x USB (5V / 1.5A), 1x USB-C (5V / 1.5A), an RP-SMA WiFi antenna connector, 1x RJ45 Ethernet (10BASE-T/100BASE-TX), and 2x 2-pin locking outputs for powering external devices such as Teradek wireless systems.

Four machined multi-function dials on the lower front panel, together with a joystick/wheel and function/menu buttons, provide customizable control over the PageOS toolkit. Available tools include Waveform, Vectorscope, EL Zone, Multiview, False Color, and LUT workflows.
