SmallHD makes a Quantum leap

Building on the foundations of the Quantum 32 launched last year, the SmallHD Quantum 27 offers the same cutting-edge display technology in a smaller and more versatile chassis, ideal for multi-monitor set-ups. The new model continues the partnership with Samsung Display, using quantum-dot OLED panels that directly emit narrow-spectrum RGB light evenly in every direction.

Consistent colour reproduction across the entire screen allows for more accurate calibration.
