Shimbol M5 5.5" 3D LUT 4K HDMI HDR Touchscreen Monitor

Shimbol M5 Overview

Monitor your 4K HDR video on the M5 5.5" 3D LUT 4K HDMI Touchscreen Monitor by Shimbol with its 1200 nit brightness, 1000:1 contrast ratio IPS screen with viewing angles up to 160 degrees, and built-in HLG mode and PQ support. The M5 monitor is calibrated to cover 100% of the Rec. 709 color space with a low Delta E of 0.6 for color accurate monitoring, supports resolutions up to DCI 4K25 or UHD 4K30, and features extensive monitoring tools such as 17- and 33-cube 3D LUT monitoring. The aluminum housing encloses a passively cooled design, which is possible due to its low power consumption of 3.5 to 6.5W, for a lightweight, quiet, and capable on-camera monitor.
