Lilliput Q18 17.3″ 12G-SDI/HDMI Broadcast Studio Monitor

True Broadcast-Grade Clarity in a 17.3″ Display
When you’re producing live broadcasts, film, or studio content, accurate monitoring is everything. The Lilliput Q18 17.3″ 12G-SDI/HDMI Broadcast Studio Monitor is engineered to deliver true-to-source visual fidelity with its 1920×1080 full HD resolution, HDR support, and a 1000:1 contrast ratio.

Unlike consumer-grade monitors that often misrepresent colors or fail under lighting stress, the Q18 ensures your framing, color grading, and focus checks are dead accurate. The wide 178° viewing angle and 16.7 million color display mean everyone on set sees the same image—whether you’re a DP, director, or technical operator.

If you’ve struggled with monitors that introduce color shifts, lag, or screen glare, the Q18 solves it with factory-calibrated precision, anti-glare coating, and consistent performance even under studio lights.

Next-Generation Connectivity with 12G-SDI & HDMI 2.0
Say goodbye to cable clutter and outdated interfaces. The Q18 monitor is built to meet the demands of today’s multi-format workflows, offering quad 12G-SDI inputs and outputs, as well as HDMI 2.0, DVI, VGA, and 3G-SDI compatibility.

Support for 4K 60Hz signal transmission ensures your monitor keeps up with modern camera systems and high-resolution workflows. Whether you’re broadcasting live or working in post, this monitor interfaces seamlessly with cinema cameras, switchers, servers, and other key gear.

A common frustration with field and studio monitors is limited compatibility—especially with higher-resolution formats. The Q18 eliminates those headaches with a future-proofed interface suite, making it a reliable investment for evolving setups.

Advanced Monitoring Tools for Total Control
Beyond stunning visuals, the Q18 delivers an array of professional-grade tools to help you maintain total technical and creative control. Built-in features include:

• Waveform and vectorscope
• Peaking focus assist
• False color
• Audio level meters
• Timecode display
• 3D LUT support (user-uploadable via USB)

These tools are invaluable for live production teams and solo shooters alike, helping avoid costly errors and giving you a broadcast-ready signal at all times.

Many users in this space complain about external accessories or complicated firmware for basic monitoring tools. Lilliput integrates everything directly into the monitor, giving you instant access with intuitive on-screen menus.

Reliable Design for Studio and Field Use
Whether mounted in a rack, control room, or OB van, the Q18 is ready for high-pressure environments. Housed in a durable metal chassis, it includes standard VESA mounting and removable 19” rack ears.

With DC and AC power support, it’s flexible enough for any installation—on set or on the road. The dual stereo speakers, tally interface, and rugged carry handle complete a monitor built to serve the needs of a full production crew.

One major pain point among video professionals is fragile monitors that fail on location or require complex rigging. The Q18 mitigates these concerns with a solid, portable build and tool-less setup options, making it a true workhorse for production teams.

Precision Monitoring Without the Guesswork
When detail matters—whether it’s skin tones, exposure balance, or camera matching—you can’t afford guesswork. The Lilliput Q18 helps you make informed decisions quickly and confidently.

Its HDR preview capabilities (PQ & HLG) give you accurate feedback on high dynamic range scenes, and its SDI loop-out ensures that everyone in the chain sees the same image in real time.

For users tired of inconsistent reference displays or poor HDR implementation, this monitor solves those issues with accurate signal processing and flexible output options. It keeps your workflow synchronized and your visuals trustworthy—frame by frame.
