Lilliput BM280 Overview

Built into a hard case, the Lilliput BM280-4K is a 28" native UHD 4K monitor useful for both studio and field situations. The full capacity of the 3840 x 2160 UHD resolution 10-bit IPS panel can be driven at up to 30 fps by any of the three HDMI 1.4 inputs, or up to 60 fps by the single HDMI 2.0 input. Other inputs available on the back panel for HD and VESA sources include 3G-SDI (with a loop-through output), DVI, and VGA. Video signals input via any of these ports will be properly scaled to fit the entire screen. Analog audio from the RCA inputs or embedded digital audio from video inputs can be heard using the monitor's built-in speakers or the 3.5mm headphone output.

For power, this monitor accepts a wide range of voltages ranging from 12 to 24 VDC. In the studio, the included power supply plugs the BM280-4K into the wall, and the 75/100mm VESA mount can be utilized for mounting on a stand. The included tally connector passes tally information through to the monitor when connected to a switcher. While in the field, the monitor will accept battery power via the built-in V-mount plate. It can be stood up vertically using the rubber feet built into the monitor's hard case, and a sunshade is included for increased visibility outdoors.

Assignable Buttons
Using the four assignable buttons on the front panel, you can quickly turn any four essential monitoring tools on and off without venturing into the monitor's menu system.
Carry-On Enclosure
The included hard case/enclosure improves the robustness of the monitor's metal chassis, useful when venturing outside controlled environments. A rear opening gives easy access to all the monitor's ports and accessory mounts.
Supports Wireless HDMI (WHDI) Technology
With a separately available WHDI receiver, the BM230-4K can accept wireless HDMI signals from up to 50' away for a hassle-free cordless connection. With the WHDI system in place one transmitter can broadcast to multiple receivers, so no splitter is required for multi-monitor viewing.

So far I have found a monitor with various options for use and practice as false color

Great monitor!

Only monitor to have multiple angles without having other accessories to change angles. It's heavy, with a case, but I like it! Very professional and great price. If I can find out how to install Luts, I would be even happier!

One of the other answers on here says that each input will only "use a portion of the 1080p screen". Is this not a 4k screen?
Asked by: Albert
The Lilliput BM280-4K Carry-On 4K Monitor (V-Mount) is a 3840 x 2160 resolution display. Each of the four camera inputs will take up a resolution of 1920 x 1080 when doing a quad pattern. 4K resolution is four times the pixel resolution of 1920 x 1080.

Is BM230 4K = true 10 bit display and that the BM2304KS = 8 bit + FRC? I’ve done some research and I read that both models are 8 bit.
Asked by: John Paul
The BM230 4K is not a true bit display (8-Bit+FRC). It imitates 10-bit by using frame rate control and attempt to fill in the original missing color.
