lcd just got better
Even with OLED as its bigger brother, the LCD in our AC7 series has nothing to be
ashamed of. Sporting an 8-bit, IPS, LED-backlit display it is a marked
improvement over our DP6 in nearly every respect.

OLED 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.
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. Really.
OLED manages to bring back what we 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 our OLED screen, but not the other way around.
| screen size (diagonal) | resolution (actual) | contrast ratio | bit depth | price | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| OLED specs - | 7.7” | 1280x800 | -to-one |
8-bit | $1099 or $1399 w/SDI |

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.
You didn’t expect us 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.
Even with a bigger screen, the AC7 (LCD) is barely any larger than our DP6 and nearly the same weight, meaning more room in the gear bag.
| screen size (diagonal) | resolution (actual) | contrast ratio | bit depth | price | |

Focusing is difficult to do and easy not to catch mistakes until it’s too late. Our 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.
Depending on the camera exposure can be relatively easy or very difficult. Remove the unknown with our 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 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.
This little guy is in every single AC7, bolted to every structural strongpoint to ensure
your monitor keeps ship shape under the rigors of shooting in the field. We did some
rigorous durability testing so you don’t have to, and you can check out the video here.
Add some helpful goodies to your kit; guaranteed to
make your life much easier.
The sun is even brighter than our monitors so pop on the sunhood for your very own private cinema on those particularly bright days. Collapses down flat for easy packing.
The AC7 can accommodate nearly any kind of battery via one of our many plate options.
Power is only useful if it stays on; plug in a locking power connector to ensure just that. D-Tap & 4-pin XLR available, or wire it up yourself with our DIY kit.
