The Megamon 15 monitor from OSEE is a 15″ portable production monitor that is small and light enough to bring with you on almost any set.

You can compare the screen size to most laptop screens, but the bezels are much beefier (the monitor weighs 4kg or 9 lbs) to protect the monitor from damage. Even set at the highest brightness, the colors and contrast look pretty consistent. This cable from OSEE is needed for color calibration.

You can color calibrate the monitor using the newly announced OSEE calibrator software (Windows only for now), a separately available USB cable and an X-Rite calibration probe.
