Pro grade production monitor: OSEE Mega 22S

A production monitor for video production is more than just an HDMI TV or computer monitor. Production monitors have some additional tools, build quality made for portability and durability, and color accuracy. The OSEE Mega 22S also has the ability to color calibrate without an additional computer, just an XRite i1Display probe. The image is bright with a max of 1500 nits so you can view the image in just about every situation. Let’s take a Quick Look at the Mega 22S which I’ve been using for the last 6 weeks for my studio, location, and livestream sessions.

If you’d like to learn how to make great dialogue audio for your film and video projects, please have a look at my courses including processing dialogue audio in Adobe Audition and DaVinci Resolve/Fairlight, recording sound, how to use the Zoom F4, F6, F8, and F8n, and how to get the most from the Sound Devices MixPre series of recorders. Our latest courses cover Sound for Live Streaming with the ATEM Mini and an Intro to Izotope RX. See https://school.learnlightandsound.com for more info!
