The exceptional contrast ratio of 1,500,000:1, combined with the use of a Quantum Dot OLED (QD-OLED) panel, ensures excellent colour accuracy and HDR performance.
The Quantum 27 is equipped with four 12G-SDI inputs and outputs, and HDMI 2.0 inputs and outputs, all supporting 4Kp60 signals. It runs SmallHD’s PageOS, providing advanced video processing, exposure and colour tools, and soon, built-in colour calibration without the need for third-party software.
Weighing in at just 21 lbs (9.6 kg), the Quantum 27 is lightweight and portable, with multiple mounting points and a carry handle. It offers an exceptionally wide viewing angle up to 60 degrees, ensuring that images remain sharp and clear from virtually any angle.
