1
00:00:00,199 --> 00:00:06,480
why on Earth would anyone buy a 55 in TV

2
00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:12,759
for $20,000 when they can get one for 250

3
00:00:09,719 --> 00:00:14,799
bucks it doesn't even have features no

4
00:00:12,759 --> 00:00:19,400
high refresh rate no variable refresh rate there's branding and buttons

5
00:00:17,240 --> 00:00:24,000
everywhere and these bezels look straight out of my grandma's basement it

6
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:30,519
doesn't even have any God dang HDMI ports or a remote control but what it

7
00:00:28,039 --> 00:00:38,160
does have is features and cap abilities that are coveted by creators and not

8
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:41,640
this kind no offense this kind One does

9
00:00:38,160 --> 00:00:43,399
not simply see Lord of the Rings or Star

10
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:48,640
Wars until they've watched it on a display like this one from Flanders

11
00:00:46,160 --> 00:00:53,399
scientific who happened to be in the neighborhood and were nice enough to

12
00:00:50,399 --> 00:00:56,559
swing by with their latest and greatest

13
00:00:53,399 --> 00:00:59,239
so we could take a gander it boasts near

14
00:00:56,559 --> 00:01:05,560
Perfect Color accuracy tetrahedral interpolation 12bit 444 signaling zero

15
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:11,119
image processing nonsense meaning that for the first time in my

16
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:13,799
life I will finally see content the way

17
00:01:11,119 --> 00:01:18,080
the colorist saw it the way the director saw it what content you might ask well

18
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:23,920
to start with we're going to be checking out the remastered segue Trilogy to our

19
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:25,759
sponsor hetner if I know you you're

20
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:29,920
looking for a company with gdpr compliant high performance Cloud servers

21
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:36,159
that offer OnDemand cloud computing platforms and apis on a metered pay as

22
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:38,840
youo basis classic you don't miss out

23
00:01:36,159 --> 00:01:44,799
and use code lt24 at the link below to get €0 off the XMP 550 mastering monitor

24
00:01:42,479 --> 00:01:49,439
is likely the most accurate display I have ever laid my two eyes on it's QD

25
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:55,360
OLED so we've got incredible viewing angles and color that pops it's rated

26
00:01:52,119 --> 00:01:59,159
for 2,000 nits Peak brightness in a 4%

27
00:01:55,360 --> 00:02:01,680
window and well 55 in might seem small

28
00:01:59,159 --> 00:02:05,640
by today's t TV standards it's actually big for what it is with most of the

29
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:09,920
predecessors to this product being in the 30in range now I'm going to tell you

30
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:13,959
a lot more about it with some help from the Labs team but first I've got to

31
00:02:12,640 --> 00:02:19,200
experience it now we didn't do a TV Roundup for

32
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:24,760
2023 so for comparison we've got two outstanding TVs from 2022 one with a

33
00:02:22,640 --> 00:02:30,000
first generation QD OLED panel from Samsung and the other with the competing

34
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:36,160
W OLED panel from LG now neither these is going to do 2,000 nits more like half

35
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:42,080
of that but they still might hold their own okay because that often boasted

36
00:02:39,319 --> 00:02:47,840
about number that's Peak brightness in a tiny window once we get to bigger window

37
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:50,360
sizes the Gap should narrow and in

38
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:54,440
filmmaker mode hey theoretically these displays are super color accurate too

39
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:58,080
but maybe I just don't know what I'm missing to find out I've asked Brandon

40
00:02:56,519 --> 00:03:02,680
from the lab to join me and he's going to be taking us on a little tour of some

41
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:08,080
some content that might either tell us well this Flanders thing is amazing or

42
00:03:04,599 --> 00:03:09,480
uh hey don't bother don't worry about it

43
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:15,920
which will be awkward with the Flanders guys there but what can I say whoa you

44
00:03:13,599 --> 00:03:20,920
guys are going to notice that the LG G2 looks wildly different from the two QD

45
00:03:18,239 --> 00:03:25,760
OLED displays that is due to the different spectral power distribution on

46
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:30,599
the G2 and the way that cameras capture TV output now in some scenes it's going

47
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:34,920
to be a subtle difference but in others this difference is going to stand out a

48
00:03:32,599 --> 00:03:41,319
lot but I can assure you that in person the G2 was relatively accurate to our

49
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:43,120
human eyes it was a lot more subtle also

50
00:03:41,319 --> 00:03:46,959
please note there are some really dark scenes here that our cameras didn't

51
00:03:44,799 --> 00:03:51,560
capture very well so for the best experience you're going to want to watch

52
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:57,319
in HDR man the other displays almost look like they have cheesecloth over

53
00:03:53,239 --> 00:04:00,920
them is that right do we King in that

54
00:03:57,319 --> 00:04:03,360
makes sense consumer displays have AVL

55
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:07,439
or auto brightness limiting which is to protect them so that they're not issuing

56
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:11,480
warranty Replacements every six Flippin months also because I guess they would

57
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:16,759
have to comply with energy standards that a professional display wouldn't so

58
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:18,799
they're just dimmer for now for now it

59
00:04:16,759 --> 00:04:22,560
should be noted that for a brief period of time a is not going to be nearly as

60
00:04:20,519 --> 00:04:27,479
much of a factor we just unplugged and replugged these TVs and you can see now

61
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:32,240
they're a lot closer even if you can tell already Shadow detail

62
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:35,960
I actually find the green saturation is a little bit better than the W OLED it's

63
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:39,120
not much even the trees themselves are popping a bit more here yeah they kind

64
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:42,360
of blend into the background there on that one but to get a better idea we're

65
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:45,520
going to cut the lights and we're going to have a look at some test footage

66
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:51,840
we're going to start off with this house scene here right away look at the

67
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:54,759
Samsung it's close dude it's purple yeah

68
00:04:51,840 --> 00:04:58,919
I know that what HDR is supposed to do is it's supposed to make things look

69
00:04:56,360 --> 00:05:02,840
more true to life but what blows me away is that I feel feel like I'm looking at

70
00:05:00,199 --> 00:05:06,360
a dollhouse with an actual light in an actual window on the Flander scientific

71
00:05:05,280 --> 00:05:14,199
yeah I think it's like just the consistency of the color it just makes things look way more realistic it's not

72
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:17,000
white it's light this is going to ruin

73
00:05:14,199 --> 00:05:21,479
everything for me and look at the oh my god I didn't even notice the Samsung

74
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:26,120
doesn't have a fence nope the burglar could get right into the backyard you

75
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:29,720
know LG is doing a much better job at retaining detail in the shadow compared

76
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:33,680
to Samsung I think the LG is still raising the blacks a little bit though

77
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:36,440
do you see where the garage is to the right of it there's like some dark

78
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:40,800
detail but it's pretty dark look at the LG it's raised a bit right like even the

79
00:05:38,479 --> 00:05:43,800
sky behind it so they're retaining that detail in the shadow but they're

80
00:05:41,840 --> 00:05:47,039
cheating a little yes where Samsung's going the opposite way they're giving

81
00:05:45,199 --> 00:05:50,880
them like that punchier look but you're losing you're clipping all your black

82
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:55,960
Detail no question I would take the Flanders then I would take the LG

83
00:05:53,240 --> 00:06:00,840
actually and then the Samsung for this the Samsung is not handling skin tones

84
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:05,360
the way that I'd like yeah I'll try to pause it when it goes back to her face

85
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:08,360
um particularly the Asian skin tone yeah Samsung tends to oversaturate even in

86
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:12,039
its filmmaker mode we've noticed that things look a bit Rosier more saturated

87
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:17,400
on people even the dirt like look at the dirt compared to Orange yeah dirt's not

88
00:06:14,319 --> 00:06:19,479
orange LG doesn't look too bad no no to

89
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:24,240
their credit it's it's more accurate even if the capability is not quite as

90
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:30,160
good look at his hair he's red yeah and his skin he's red and back to what we

91
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:32,680
said about realism right true to life

92
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:37,120
what color is a late night Street Lamp it's yellow it's not orange that's what

93
00:06:34,599 --> 00:06:41,759
it's supposed to look like and that seat is a blue leather not whatever that

94
00:06:39,639 --> 00:06:46,120
color is it's got pink in it yeah I can't believe how bad the Samsung looks

95
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:51,240
this is the TV I have at home and I'm sh well right and guys you got to remember

96
00:06:48,639 --> 00:06:55,479
Brandon test displays for a living like how long you been doing it now uh four

97
00:06:53,199 --> 00:06:59,800
over four years yeah and that's how easily like even we're Bamboozled

98
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:03,960
there's no way that that was the director's intent looking at this we're

99
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:08,479
supposed to be able to see everything that's going on like she here look look

100
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:12,520
at that she's wearing a purple shirt yeah she's wearing a black shirt with

101
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:15,800
purple I don't know something along here this scene doesn't look too bad no none

102
00:07:13,919 --> 00:07:21,080
of this bothers me and that reminds me part of why I had a hard time differentiating there was cuz I was kind

103
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:23,800
of busy looking at the content and no matter which of these TVs you have

104
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:28,199
that's what you're going to be doing most of the time so these are still Hair

105
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:33,240
S splitting differences that we're picking at it's just fun if you're a

106
00:07:30,479 --> 00:07:37,720
giant nerd these strawberries look really good they look super eat those

107
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:41,440
yes they look pretty washed out on the LG yep they don't they don't look they

108
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:45,440
look okay on the Samsung but it's still not as red it's not no it's not it's not

109
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:50,800
as accurate oh and look at the shadow detail on the uh reflection it's like

110
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:53,599
all gone on the Samsung oh yeah so on

111
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:56,759
the LG but you're de saturated but it's yeah it looks like a ghost of what a

112
00:07:55,159 --> 00:08:01,039
strawberry is supposed to look like in the reflection the top looks all right

113
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:05,080
but those are those don't look as delicious those are more sour and those

114
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:10,199
are super sweet as long as it's not a super

115
00:08:07,759 --> 00:08:14,840
saturated color the LG does okay and I believe the Mario movie the mastering

116
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:18,840
display primaries are P3 which all these displays should be able to do now my

117
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:23,479
understanding is the Mario movie was mastered for a peak of 800 nits correct

118
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:28,039
according to the metadata so theoretically any one of these displays

119
00:08:25,759 --> 00:08:31,680
can reach it the brightness that we need to see even though Samsung it's

120
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:36,680
oversaturating Bowser's eyes a little bit there see they're a bit too orange

121
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:40,560
it looks nice like my eyes like that but that's what it should look like so LG

122
00:08:38,959 --> 00:08:44,000
pretty close honestly the LG is very color accurate I'm really glad we're

123
00:08:42,399 --> 00:08:49,519
looking at real content now though because looking at test patterns or the

124
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:52,360
ASC footage made the difference seem a

125
00:08:49,519 --> 00:08:57,440
lot differenter mhm looking at a real movie which is going to be mastered with

126
00:08:55,519 --> 00:09:01,880
Home displays in mind a little bit more I guess I don't find the difference

127
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:07,240
nearly as noticeable no can you pause it right here I can I want to say what a

128
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:09,640
great still Mario's hat does look a bit

129
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:15,760
oversaturated or a bit like maybe pink or purplish compared to here the true

130
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:22,079
version looks almost right in between the almost too orangey Samsung and the

131
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:26,120
almost to I don't know blue purple yeah blue purplish that's going on on the LG

132
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:29,200
I think especially with uh animated content you have less like memory colors

133
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:32,680
to reference right like you don't have realistic skin tones and all those kind

134
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:38,360
of things so it's I think it's just a lot easier to be fooled than thinking this looks that's true and like back to

135
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:41,680
that night scene where I was like oh yeah no I know what an ugly yellow

136
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:49,240
Street Lamp is supposed to look like well this rainbow burning fire could be

137
00:09:45,399 --> 00:09:51,880
anything he looks almost palad and dead

138
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:58,120
on the Flanders which he's Rosy on the S was clearly the intent they're not

139
00:09:54,120 --> 00:10:02,399
supposed to look life

140
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:04,680
full Brown uniform green uniform this is

141
00:10:02,399 --> 00:10:09,760
probably the starkest difference I've seen between the right color and

142
00:10:07,560 --> 00:10:14,120
completely the wrong color that looks like it could have be made out of

143
00:10:10,839 --> 00:10:16,480
leather also you can tell that this is

144
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:20,560
daylight lit because on the Flanders there's a bit of a Bluey cast to

145
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:24,440
everything whereas we're losing that with the oversaturation of the greens on

146
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:29,279
the other displays mhm here's what I want to know maybe this is my first

147
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:35,279
question for the Flanders folks is the problem that it's more work to just not

148
00:10:31,959 --> 00:10:37,240
do any processing yeah

149
00:10:35,279 --> 00:10:41,560
fundamentally I always tell people it's it's more about what we don't do almost

150
00:10:39,839 --> 00:10:46,000
rather than what we do is that really hard to not do that the problem is most

151
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:50,360
of the chips they use are off the shelf chips from companies like mediatech so

152
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:59,079
we don't do that we do everything on fpg that's why they cost so

153
00:10:54,600 --> 00:11:01,600
much so it's cost savings thing slash an

154
00:10:59,079 --> 00:11:07,480
willingness to build your own processor from the ground up to not do any of this

155
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:11,120
BS there another dark scene with oranges

156
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:13,519
oh my gosh the Samsung is doing so bad

157
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:18,160
yeah and not that Brandon has a horse in this race or anything but uh that's his

158
00:11:18,680 --> 00:11:26,480
TV incredible o okay dang it I want I

159
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:34,160
mean even here that's an orange fire those are red fires y oh that looks so

160
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:36,639
very metallic according to httv test the

161
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:40,920
scene coming up should be 2,000 nits coming off of Gandalf so the maximum

162
00:11:38,839 --> 00:11:45,800
capability of our Flanders and well beyond the maximum capabilities of our

163
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:52,040
consumer TVs here yes although it is a bright scene very high APL not sure how

164
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:52,040
much that's going to come into play

165
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:59,800
here oo pause it everyone's handling this

166
00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:03,480
pretty well there's clip going on the Samsung though I don't know if it's

167
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:08,639
because of the color stuff but you can't make out nearly we're losing the trees

168
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:12,480
in the uh whatever the light source

169
00:12:08,639 --> 00:12:15,079
that's behind gandal mhm it be pretty

170
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:19,199
good oh yeah yeah yeah you can barely make out the form of his body through

171
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:23,560
the robes on the Samsung mhm and it's also just not as bright I think the

172
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:30,279
Samsung is uh tone mapping a lot here I'm also losing the folds in legal's

173
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:32,000
Cloak uh yeah so these two are about the

174
00:12:30,279 --> 00:12:37,360
same they're both hitting around 1,000 nits off of this little beam yeah the

175
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:38,760
Samsung's down to about 700 okay and I

176
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:43,560
guess that's probably because of tone mapping one thing we didn't focus on

177
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:47,959
last time around is an undesirable behavior of the Flanders if you were

178
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:53,440
using it for consuming content and that is that if there is a signal that is

179
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:58,680
outside of its maximum brightness range rather than just tone mapping it down

180
00:12:56,160 --> 00:13:03,600
and trying to smooth out the transition it it'll just Peak which is to say it

181
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:08,120
will completely lose any detail That was supposed to be there and you can really

182
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:09,959
see it on the bird's left cheek here on

183
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:14,040
the right side of the frame here there's nothing left of the feather detail there

184
00:13:11,839 --> 00:13:17,920
whereas actually the LG doesn't do a very good job not doing great Samsung

185
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:22,320
though retains some of the texture that's supposed to be there oh yeah LG

186
00:13:20,399 --> 00:13:25,880
actually manages to Peak even worse than Flanders yeah LG does have Dynamic tone

187
00:13:24,560 --> 00:13:32,240
mapping on right now but that is the default behavior in filmmaker mode yeah

188
00:13:28,959 --> 00:13:33,920
yeah and it's just not working very well

189
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:37,440
huh oh yeah W this one's really interesting um hey look there's green

190
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:41,760
there yeah first off the colors are completely different yeah but here this

191
00:13:38,959 --> 00:13:45,800
is a great quantization uh banding test pattern so just look at the Samsung you

192
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:49,880
can clearly see that white circle just ends right there and then another Circle

193
00:13:47,680 --> 00:13:54,120
yeah and then look at the LG the LG is much worse you can really see it's like

194
00:13:52,519 --> 00:13:58,800
looking at the rings of Saturn around the Outer Perimeter yeah whereas the

195
00:13:56,519 --> 00:14:02,440
Flanders I guess that's what uh you know know 5D l or whatever the crap it is

196
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:09,079
that they're using is going to do for you how did how did how do you guys

197
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:11,720
describe the L we use tet a tetrahedral

198
00:14:09,079 --> 00:14:16,519
interpolation it looks so smooth here it's falling apart so yucky on the rest

199
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:22,120
of them this is not a bit rate issue this is the ability of the processor to

200
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:26,680
interpret all the different little microsteps of color that might exist and

201
00:14:24,839 --> 00:14:30,720
you can see the consumer displays are falling flat on their faces there's more

202
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:34,440
to this thing than just a pretty face though build quality is solid with an

203
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:40,320
aluminum chassis and a graphite heat sink and it operates fanless in spite of

204
00:14:37,519 --> 00:14:45,199
the fact that 2,000 nits even in a small area can generate some serious heat and

205
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:50,279
this is cool check this out part of why this display is so expensive is because

206
00:14:47,959 --> 00:14:55,600
it can offer up information that might not be relevant to you but is relevant

207
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:57,480
to filmmakers like showing false color

208
00:14:55,600 --> 00:15:00,759
or a live read out of luminance and waveforms so you can make make sure that

209
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:07,399
what you're looking at is as you intended and that's the reason why you

210
00:15:03,959 --> 00:15:10,399
or I budget aside might not actually

211
00:15:07,399 --> 00:15:14,360
want to use this as a home display also

212
00:15:10,399 --> 00:15:16,759
the lack of HDMI etc etc the XMP 550 is

213
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:22,920
a tool for professionals and it offers no post-processing whatsoever that

214
00:15:19,639 --> 00:15:26,160
includes or rather doesn't include tone

215
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:28,680
mapping this TV or more accurately

216
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:33,120
display shows the footage in its unpr processed form with only a custom 3D l

217
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:36,880
or a lookup table to make sure the colors are displayed accurately and

218
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:41,399
because of that when we show content that was mastered at a higher brightness

219
00:15:38,839 --> 00:15:46,480
value rather than roll off pleasingly and retain detail it'll simply clip

220
00:15:44,399 --> 00:15:51,120
that's intended because a colorist doesn't want to be fooled into thinking

221
00:15:48,759 --> 00:15:55,959
this is what a 4,000 nit scene looks like so it's kind of a safety mechanism

222
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:59,959
to ensure that they know hey you've gone beyond the capabilities of this display

223
00:15:58,079 --> 00:16:03,880
and you can do that but you're kind of grading blind at this point but wait

224
00:16:01,959 --> 00:16:07,199
hold on a second grading blind isn't this thing the be all and end all all

225
00:16:05,759 --> 00:16:13,120
right we're working on a Techquickie that's going to help further explain color spaces and terms like chromaticity

226
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:18,120
in the not too distant future but when it comes to HDR and Rec 2020 that's a

227
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:24,480
volumetric color space that can go all the way to 10,000 nits beyond the

228
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:30,120
capabilities of even this display I mean QD OED has gotten Us close in terms of

229
00:16:26,959 --> 00:16:32,240
color saturation but the brightness just

230
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:40,079
isn't there yet now the primary competitor to the XMP 550 is Sony's new

231
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:42,319
BVM HX 3110 a dual layer LCD mastering

232
00:16:40,079 --> 00:16:47,319
monitor that uses a technology similar to the high sense 9dg that we covered

233
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:53,920
almost 2 years ago it can reach a whopping 4,000 nits but the color

234
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:56,639
saturation is narrower to hit 100% of

235
00:16:53,920 --> 00:17:01,519
the entire volume you'd need basically Pure Color wave lengths like freaking

236
00:16:58,759 --> 00:17:05,559
lasers displaying your image and that's going to be a while also despite the

237
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:09,160
Sony unit offering extra brightness there are a few reasons why you might

238
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:14,760
prefer the Flander scientific display first and foremost they're really nice

239
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:18,760
people who are entirely nonthreatening no I'm kidding but but

240
00:17:16,799 --> 00:17:22,799
seriously the near-perfect viewing angles thanks to the quantum do OLED

241
00:17:21,079 --> 00:17:27,319
panel mean that you can use a single display for both working and showing

242
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:31,160
references to your client or boss someone who's likely to be a big deal

243
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:36,880
like a studio head or a creative director to illustrate why this matters

244
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:39,280
we had an older dual layer LCD mastering

245
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:43,480
display at LTX and Brandon was constantly instructing people to no no

246
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:49,240
you have to stand directly in front of it or it really doesn't look right

247
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:54,520
second OLED's Lightning Fast self aiss of pixels give us zero rise or fall time

248
00:17:52,039 --> 00:17:59,600
motion blur not to mention Inky blacks without any halation or blooming right

249
00:17:56,799 --> 00:18:03,799
and also the price yeah I know right at only

250
00:18:01,159 --> 00:18:09,840
$220,000 it's really well positioned for a brand new mastering monitor our quote

251
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:12,440
for the BBM HX 3110 was almost

252
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:17,120
$30,000 and it's under a third of the size of course though your choice might

253
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:21,360
be dictated by creative requirements rather than budgets if your film

254
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:26,400
contains scenes like this for example the a or auto brightness limiter that

255
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:30,919
protects our QD OLED panel might preclude its use even if it's doesn't

256
00:18:28,679 --> 00:18:35,559
operate as aggressively as a consumer display however if I was working on

257
00:18:33,159 --> 00:18:40,280
something like the Mario movie I'd be a fool to go dual layer LCD at any price

258
00:18:38,679 --> 00:18:44,520
just like I'd be a fool if I didn't sign up for a notification for our new

259
00:18:42,039 --> 00:18:51,000
Precision screwdriver the Flanders is also finally a viable alternative to the

260
00:18:47,559 --> 00:18:54,080
venerable BVM X300 which is still sought

261
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:56,760
after today despite being discontinued

262
00:18:54,080 --> 00:19:02,200
that one used a true RGB stripe OLED panel which avoids washing ing out color

263
00:18:59,039 --> 00:19:04,760
with a white sub pixel but being older

264
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:09,000
It could only reach 1,000 nits in a 10% window they're also not getting any

265
00:19:06,559 --> 00:19:12,840
younger so Burnin is becoming a concern with these displays there are other

266
00:19:11,120 --> 00:19:20,200
options that are still in production with the BBM e251 and 171 but those are

267
00:19:16,360 --> 00:19:21,840
1080p at 24 1/2 and 16 1/2 in

268
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:24,600
respectively if anyone watching this video actually needs any of this stuff

269
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:28,320
hey we'll have links in the description below for now I want to throw over to

270
00:19:26,360 --> 00:19:32,320
Brandon from the lab to talk about our measured results from the Flander

271
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:37,640
scientific model due to our limited time with the XMP 550 we are only able to

272
00:19:34,799 --> 00:19:42,320
test its color accuracy with HDR signals for our testing we use the Delta e ITP

273
00:19:40,159 --> 00:19:46,559
metric for our color error evaluation since it's designed for high luminous

274
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:51,840
values and a wide color gamut two integral parts of HDR as we saw earlier

275
00:19:49,360 --> 00:19:57,200
the S 95b is skewing a bit red and on top of that it overs saturates but it's

276
00:19:54,000 --> 00:20:00,039
still reasonably accurate as is the G2

277
00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:05,440
however the XMP P 550 is a clear winner hitting a Delta e ITP average of less

278
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:09,440
than two and a Max of less than five this is by far the best color accuracy

279
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:12,960
I've ever measured what's even more impressive is the lack of any major

280
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:16,720
change when adding luminance error to the equation see how the values are

281
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:21,559
nearly identical the same can't be said for our other ass sets especially the G2

282
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:27,320
that's because the XMP outputs light and color basically perfectly to give us

283
00:20:23,799 --> 00:20:29,400
accurate HDR content its PQ eotf curve

284
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:35,320
is tracking nearly identically to the HDR standard meanwhile the G2 and s95 B

285
00:20:33,159 --> 00:20:39,760
both have minor inaccuracies as well as a worse white balance by comparison and

286
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:45,480
even with the XMP 550 capped out at 18800 nits with a d65 white it still

287
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:49,480
handily beats our two other TVs overall a very impressive piece of technology

288
00:20:47,679 --> 00:20:54,320
for the people who need it even if it does also kind of highlight that there's

289
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:58,159
still room for these displays to improve there's no such thing as a perfect

290
00:20:55,919 --> 00:21:01,440
solution right now now you might have noticed we've been toying with HDR

291
00:20:59,799 --> 00:21:05,440
recently and you're probably wondering hey lonus I'm watching this video in HDR

292
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:10,080
right now do you guys need one of those and depending who you ask production

293
00:21:08,039 --> 00:21:13,480
team's not here that's good I don't think we need one no I don't think we

294
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:18,120
need one at least not until the check clears from our sponsor Squarespace

307
00:22:07,559 --> 00:22:10,559
incredible
