The Small HD AC7-OLED 7.7" Field Monitor with HDMI is the next major leap in display technology, capable of reproducing a much wider range of color than traditional LCD panels, letting you see a much truer representation of what your camera is capturing.
Infinite Contrast Ratio
Because OLED displays are not backlit like LCDs but rather lit by each individual pixel, black means black. This yields a contrast ratio of infinity to one.
All of the benefits none of the negatives
OLED manages to bring back what loved about CRTs - the way they handled color and contrast (yet far better on both counts) and retain the upsides of LCD such as its light weight, low power draw and resolution. Any color you can display on an LCD or CRT can be achieved on OLED screen, but not the other way around.
LCD just got better
Even with OLED as its bigger brother, the LCD in AC7 series has nothing to beashamed of. Sporting an 8-bit, IPS, LED-backlit display it is a marked improvement over DP6 in nearly every respect.
The ultimate value need not be the ultimate compromise
8-Bit
8-bit doesn't sound like much more than 6-bit, but let's put it this way; 8-bit means you get 64 times the amount of displayable colors than current 5.6inch HD monitors.
True HD 720P
You didn't expect to skimp here, did you? Each AC7 ships with native 1280x800 resolution so you don't have to worry about your built-in on-camera LCD telling you your shot is in focus when it is in fact, not.
Compact Frame
Even with a bigger screen, the AC7 (LCD) is barely any larger than DP6 and nearly the same weight, meaning more room in the gear bag.
Software with a purpose: to help you get it right the first time
Focus
Focusing is difficult to do and easy not to catch mistakes until it's too late. Focus assist tool is here to lead the charge against out-of-focus shots with its class-leading edge and contrast detection to make the director a happy camper whether that person happens to be you or not.
Exposure
Depending on the camera exposure can be relatively easy or very difficult. Remove the unknown with Exposure Assist tool, which highlights areas that are blown out or under-exposed. Another option highlights midtones as well to accentuate those areas your camera may favor most (not pictured).
Framing
Framing for safe zones is easy- as long as you remember to do it. Switch on your AC7's Framing Guides to get around the issue altogether and worry about other important stuff.
