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. This delivers uniform luminance of up to 1000 nits, extends colour gamut to 99% of DCI-P3 and enables a wide viewing angle of up to 60°. Consistent colour reproduction across the entire screen allows for more accurate calibration. The Quantum 27 is optimised for professional use by offering features such as a robust handle and feet, plus a universal 100mm Vesa mount and Arca rail on the back for easy mounting. This monitor includes dials for tactile control and is 3kg/6lb lighter than the 32. Power features include a pair of two-pin Lemo, USB-C and USB-A power
