Desview OL7

The Desview OL7 is a 7-inch OLED monitor with an ultra-bright 1200-nit display, 4K60p HDMI, and an impressive 100,000:1 contrast ratio. With 10-bit color depth for 1.07 billion colors, it delivers stunning accuracy and clarity for professional filmmakers and content creators.

The Desview OL7 is a premium 7-inch OLED on-camera monitor designed for professional video production. Featuring an ultra-bright 1200-nit OLED display, it ensures excellent visibility even in bright outdoor environments. With a 100,000:1 contrast ratio and 10-bit color depth (1.07 billion colors), the OL7 offers deep blacks, vibrant colors, and accurate image reproduction, making it ideal for high-end filmmaking and broadcast applications.

OLED display: true black

Every OLED pixel emits its own light and switches off completely in dark areas of the image. Unlike a backlit LCD, there is no halo around bright objects and black never turns grey – which is what you need when judging exposure in night and high-contrast shots.

10-bit colour depth

The 10-bit panel shows 1.07 billion shades instead of the 16.7 million of an 8-bit one. Smooth gradients in skies or skin tones do not break up into bands, so the monitor shows the real tonality of your footage – which matters most when shooting in a log profile.

99.8% DCI-P3 gamut and ΔE ≤ 1 accuracy

The monitor covers 99.8% of the DCI-P3 colour space and 93.6% of BT.2020 with a colour deviation of ΔE ≤ 1. The panel also shows the colorimeter report – average gamma 2.479 and a measured peak brightness of over 1260 nits.

100,000:1 contrast ratio

The high OLED contrast holds detail in both the shadows and the highlights of the same shot. Compared with a typical LCD at around 1,000:1, you can see detail in a night sky as clearly as in the bright parts of the scene.

HDMI 2.0 up to 4K 60p

The OL7 accepts signals over HDMI 2.0 up to 4096 × 2160 at 60p and passes them on through its HDMI output, for example to a recorder or wireless transmitter. The SDI connectors shown in the image are found only on the OL7S.

Fast response without blur

OLED pixels switch many times faster than LCD liquid crystals. When panning or following a fast-moving subject, the image does not lag or smear, which makes it easier to judge focus.

1200 nits for outdoor work

With a brightness of 1200 nits the display stays readable even in harsh sunlight, so you can check exposure and focus when shooting outdoors – on a rig, a gimbal or handheld.

Aluminium alloy housing

The slim aluminium alloy housing doubles as a heat sink: heat from the electronics is spread over the whole housing along several paths. The OL7 measures 179 × 106 × 26 mm and weighs 500 g.

Power from NP-F, LEMO or USB-C

The back carries two battery slots for NP-F series batteries. The monitor can also be powered through the LEMO connector (7–26 V) – a D-TAP to two-pin LEMO cable is included – or via USB-C with PD 2.0/3.0, for example from a power bank.

Custom 3D LUTs and programmable buttons

Load your own 3D LUTs with 65 × 65 × 65 precision and see straight away how the shot will look after grading. Assign frequently used functions to the programmable buttons F1–F3 on the top edge. The SDI input and output in the image are found only on the OL7S.

Monitoring tools

For exposure, focus and framing the monitor offers the following tools:

• exposure: false colour, zebra, histogram, waveform, All Wave, vectorscope
• focus: peaking, two-finger zoom
• colour: HDR, 3D LUT, monochrome display
• framing: aspect ratio markers, masking markers, grid lines, composition guides, anamorphic desqueeze, image rotation, image overlay
• other: audio meters, screenshots

OL7 and OL7S specification table

Both versions share the same display and power options. The OL7 has HDMI 2.0 input and output; the OL7S adds 3G-SDI input and output and is 20 g heavier.

More information

Supporting 4K60p HDMI input/output, the OL7 ensures seamless compatibility with modern cameras and video production workflows. The OL7S variant further enhances connectivity with 3G-SDI input/output, catering to professional broadcasting and multi-camera setups.
