SmallHD has introduced the OLED 16, a new 16-inch production monitor designed specifically for digital imaging technicians (DITs) and directors of photography (DPs) seeking precise on-set monitoring. Announced on June 4, 2026, the monitor features a 3840 x 2160 UHD resolution display with true 10-bit color depth, covering 99% of the DCI-P3 color gamut. This ensures accurate color reproduction critical for professional video workflows.

The OLED panel technology provides infinite contrast and true blacks with zero haloing, addressing common limitations of traditional LCD monitors in high-dynamic-range environments. These characteristics make the OLED 16 particularly valuable for creators working in varied lighting conditions who rely on consistent, reliable image evaluation during production.

At 16 inches, the monitor strikes a balance between screen real estate and portability, fitting streamlined DIT carts and compact field rigs without sacrificing detail. Its size and performance target creators who need a dependable reference monitor that integrates smoothly into existing cinema and broadcast setups.

SmallHD positions the OLED 16 as a tool for professionals prioritizing color fidelity and contrast accuracy, especially in HDR and log-based workflows where monitoring precision impacts post-production outcomes. The monitor supports the demands of modern content creation by delivering studio-grade image quality in a rugged, on-set-friendly form factor.

By focusing on core specifications—OLED technology, 4K resolution, and wide color gamut—SmallHD aims to meet the evolving needs of indie filmmakers, commercial crews, and broadcast teams upgrading their monitoring solutions. The OLED 16 is now available through authorized retailers and the SmallHD website.
