Desview has unveiled the Blade 5 Pro, its flagship OLED camera monitor. The Blade 5 Pro features a 5.5-inch 1920 x 1080 self-lit OLED screen, 100000:1 contrast, and it covers 100% of DCI-P3.
I’ve often wondered why someone doesn’t just make a monitor that is essentially just a smartphone screen with inputs; well, it looks like Desview has.
The Blade 5 Pro was designed to be thin, just 13mm / 0.5″, and lightweight. It tips the scales at just 207g / 7.3 oz. The weight of Blade 5 Pro is very similar to that of an Apple iPhone 17 Pro.
Key features
- 5.5inch Flagship OLED Display
- 207g Ultra-Light and 13mm Ultra-Thin Design
- Customizable 3D-LUT
- 100000:1 Ultra-High Contrast Ratio
- 100% DCI-P3 Color Gamut
- 1200Nits Peak Brightness
- 4K 60p HDMI Input and Output
- Support Power Supply via DC, USB-C, and NP-F Battery
The OLED monitor has a claimed peak brightness of 1200Nits and it will support HDMI inputs and outputs at up to 4K 60p.
The USB Type-C interface combines power supply with high-speed data transmission, paired with HDMI loopout and headphone monitoring.
According to Desview, each monitor undergoes rigorous panel screening and full-screen color uniformity control, and is individually factory-calibrated using a hardware 3D-LUT.
Desview states that the Blade 5 Pro supports multi-point capacitive touch with millisecond response. Swiping menus and adjusting parameters are claimed to be as intuitive as using a smartphone.
The monitor has the usual array of video assist tools, and you can load up your own user LUTs.
The casing of the monitor is made from aviation-grade aluminum, whose excellent thermal conductivity provides very efficient heat dissipation, and it’s equipped with a silent fan for cooling.
You can power the Blade 5 Pro via a Sony NP-F battery, or through USB-C or from mains power using the DC input.
