While the majority of the filmmaking community was geeking out on SmallHD’s announcement of their brand new HDR monitors at NAB, some were left thinking “I just want a good, clean, large monitor from SmallHD!” To those who thought that, SmallHD says “You’re welcome!”

SmallHD announced two additions to their foray into large monitors with the 1703 Studio and the 2403 Studio.  Think of them as the “lite” versions of the 1703 HDR and 2403 HDR.

Both new monitors carry their HDR version counterpart’s specs up until you talk about brightness. Since the HDR monitors have to be extremely bright to show you HDR, it makes sense that the big difference is the brightness of the monitor. All the other bells and whistles–including 3D LUT processing–will be the same. You also get a nice price drop if you don’t need the HDR benefits, which is cool.
