The new SmallHD Cine 13 production monitor brings the company’s Cine line of 4K production monitors to a newly tiny form factor. It’s still not cheap, but it’s a truly portable production monitor option with a pro-quality feature set. SmallHD has been making a name for itself with high-performance, cost-effective monitor solutions for both on-camera and large-scale applications, most recently with its expanding lineup of 4K production monitors. The products feature an array of different screen technologies, but the most affordable has been the “Cine” line. The Cine 24 came in at $5,999 USD when it was released last year, making it by far the cheapest out of the Cine, Vision, and OLED lines. Each features similar monitoring abilities, with a 4K screen and an array of assist features, but each also sports a vastly different range of brightness and contrast. The Cine line, being the cheapest, features the lowest contrast but also the highest brightness of the three – earning it the subtitle “High-Bright” in the product line. An all-new 10-bit screen technology The 13-inch Cine monitor from SmallHD actually sports a 1500-nit screen, making it the brightest screen SmallHD has ever produced, making it fully usable in bright daylight conditions.
