WEBVTT 00:00:00.199 --> 00:00:06.480 why on Earth would anyone buy a 55 in TV 00:00:04.960 --> 00:00:12.759 for $20,000 when they can get one for 250 00:00:09.719 --> 00:00:14.799 bucks it doesn't even have features no 00:00:12.759 --> 00:00:19.400 high refresh rate no variable refresh rate there's branding and buttons 00:00:17.240 --> 00:00:24.000 everywhere and these bezels look straight out of my grandma's basement it 00:00:21.560 --> 00:00:30.519 doesn't even have any God dang HDMI ports or a remote control but what it 00:00:28.039 --> 00:00:38.160 does have is features and cap abilities that are coveted by creators and not 00:00:34.040 --> 00:00:41.640 this kind no offense this kind One does 00:00:38.160 --> 00:00:43.399 not simply see Lord of the Rings or Star 00:00:41.640 --> 00:00:48.640 Wars until they've watched it on a display like this one from Flanders 00:00:46.160 --> 00:00:53.399 scientific who happened to be in the neighborhood and were nice enough to 00:00:50.399 --> 00:00:56.559 swing by with their latest and greatest 00:00:53.399 --> 00:00:59.239 so we could take a gander it boasts near 00:00:56.559 --> 00:01:05.560 Perfect Color accuracy tetrahedral interpolation 12bit 444 signaling zero 00:01:03.440 --> 00:01:11.119 image processing nonsense meaning that for the first time in my 00:01:08.040 --> 00:01:13.799 life I will finally see content the way 00:01:11.119 --> 00:01:18.080 the colorist saw it the way the director saw it what content you might ask well 00:01:16.840 --> 00:01:23.920 to start with we're going to be checking out the remastered segue Trilogy to our 00:01:20.680 --> 00:01:25.759 sponsor hetner if I know you you're 00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:29.920 looking for a company with gdpr compliant high performance Cloud servers 00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:36.159 that offer OnDemand cloud computing platforms and apis on a metered pay as 00:01:32.200 --> 00:01:38.840 youo basis classic you don't miss out 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 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 00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:55.360 OLED so we've got incredible viewing angles and color that pops it's rated 00:01:52.119 --> 00:01:59.159 for 2,000 nits Peak brightness in a 4% 00:01:55.360 --> 00:02:01.680 window and well 55 in might seem small 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 00:02:03.880 --> 00:02:09.920 predecessors to this product being in the 30in range now I'm going to tell you 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 00:02:12.640 --> 00:02:19.200 experience it now we didn't do a TV Roundup for 00:02:16.480 --> 00:02:24.760 2023 so for comparison we've got two outstanding TVs from 2022 one with a 00:02:22.640 --> 00:02:30.000 first generation QD OLED panel from Samsung and the other with the competing 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 00:02:33.560 --> 00:02:42.080 of that but they still might hold their own okay because that often boasted 00:02:39.319 --> 00:02:47.840 about number that's Peak brightness in a tiny window once we get to bigger window 00:02:44.440 --> 00:02:50.360 sizes the Gap should narrow and in 00:02:47.840 --> 00:02:54.440 filmmaker mode hey theoretically these displays are super color accurate too 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 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 00:02:59.760 --> 00:03:08.080 some content that might either tell us well this Flanders thing is amazing or 00:03:04.599 --> 00:03:09.480 uh hey don't bother don't worry about it 00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:15.920 which will be awkward with the Flanders guys there but what can I say whoa you 00:03:13.599 --> 00:03:20.920 guys are going to notice that the LG G2 looks wildly different from the two QD 00:03:18.239 --> 00:03:25.760 OLED displays that is due to the different spectral power distribution on 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 00:03:28.560 --> 00:03:34.920 to be a subtle difference but in others this difference is going to stand out a 00:03:32.599 --> 00:03:41.319 lot but I can assure you that in person the G2 was relatively accurate to our 00:03:37.760 --> 00:03:43.120 human eyes it was a lot more subtle also 00:03:41.319 --> 00:03:46.959 please note there are some really dark scenes here that our cameras didn't 00:03:44.799 --> 00:03:51.560 capture very well so for the best experience you're going to want to watch 00:03:48.720 --> 00:03:57.319 in HDR man the other displays almost look like they have cheesecloth over 00:03:53.239 --> 00:04:00.920 them is that right do we King in that 00:03:57.319 --> 00:04:03.360 makes sense consumer displays have AVL 00:04:00.920 --> 00:04:07.439 or auto brightness limiting which is to protect them so that they're not issuing 00:04:04.920 --> 00:04:11.480 warranty Replacements every six Flippin months also because I guess they would 00:04:09.400 --> 00:04:16.759 have to comply with energy standards that a professional display wouldn't so 00:04:13.640 --> 00:04:18.799 they're just dimmer for now for now it 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 00:04:20.519 --> 00:04:27.479 much of a factor we just unplugged and replugged these TVs and you can see now 00:04:24.720 --> 00:04:32.240 they're a lot closer even if you can tell already Shadow detail 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 00:04:34.400 --> 00:04:39.120 not much even the trees themselves are popping a bit more here yeah they kind 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 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 00:04:44.440 --> 00:04:51.840 we're going to start off with this house scene here right away look at the 00:04:47.880 --> 00:04:54.759 Samsung it's close dude it's purple yeah 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 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 00:05:00.199 --> 00:05:06.360 a dollhouse with an actual light in an actual window on the Flander scientific 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 00:05:10.320 --> 00:05:17.000 white it's light this is going to ruin 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 00:05:19.160 --> 00:05:26.120 doesn't have a fence nope the burglar could get right into the backyard you 00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:29.720 know LG is doing a much better job at retaining detail in the shadow compared 00:05:27.800 --> 00:05:33.680 to Samsung I think the LG is still raising the blacks a little bit though 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 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 00:05:38.479 --> 00:05:43.800 sky behind it so they're retaining that detail in the shadow but they're 00:05:41.840 --> 00:05:47.039 cheating a little yes where Samsung's going the opposite way they're giving 00:05:45.199 --> 00:05:50.880 them like that punchier look but you're losing you're clipping all your black 00:05:48.440 --> 00:05:55.960 Detail no question I would take the Flanders then I would take the LG 00:05:53.240 --> 00:06:00.840 actually and then the Samsung for this the Samsung is not handling skin tones 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 00:06:02.600 --> 00:06:08.360 um particularly the Asian skin tone yeah Samsung tends to oversaturate even in 00:06:06.800 --> 00:06:12.039 its filmmaker mode we've noticed that things look a bit Rosier more saturated 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 00:06:14.319 --> 00:06:19.479 orange LG doesn't look too bad no no to 00:06:17.400 --> 00:06:24.240 their credit it's it's more accurate even if the capability is not quite as 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 00:06:26.680 --> 00:06:32.680 said about realism right true to life 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 00:06:34.599 --> 00:06:41.759 it's supposed to look like and that seat is a blue leather not whatever that 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 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 00:06:48.639 --> 00:06:55.479 Brandon test displays for a living like how long you been doing it now uh four 00:06:53.199 --> 00:06:59.800 over four years yeah and that's how easily like even we're Bamboozled 00:06:58.080 --> 00:07:03.960 there's no way that that was the director's intent looking at this we're 00:07:02.520 --> 00:07:08.479 supposed to be able to see everything that's going on like she here look look 00:07:06.240 --> 00:07:12.520 at that she's wearing a purple shirt yeah she's wearing a black shirt with 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 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 00:07:18.240 --> 00:07:23.800 of busy looking at the content and no matter which of these TVs you have 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 00:07:26.800 --> 00:07:33.240 S splitting differences that we're picking at it's just fun if you're a 00:07:30.479 --> 00:07:37.720 giant nerd these strawberries look really good they look super eat those 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 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 00:07:43.520 --> 00:07:50.800 as accurate oh and look at the shadow detail on the uh reflection it's like 00:07:47.560 --> 00:07:53.599 all gone on the Samsung oh yeah so on 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 00:07:55.159 --> 00:08:01.039 strawberry is supposed to look like in the reflection the top looks all right 00:07:59.400 --> 00:08:05.080 but those are those don't look as delicious those are more sour and those 00:08:03.720 --> 00:08:10.199 are super sweet as long as it's not a super 00:08:07.759 --> 00:08:14.840 saturated color the LG does okay and I believe the Mario movie the mastering 00:08:12.240 --> 00:08:18.840 display primaries are P3 which all these displays should be able to do now my 00:08:16.800 --> 00:08:23.479 understanding is the Mario movie was mastered for a peak of 800 nits correct 00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:28.039 according to the metadata so theoretically any one of these displays 00:08:25.759 --> 00:08:31.680 can reach it the brightness that we need to see even though Samsung it's 00:08:29.960 --> 00:08:36.680 oversaturating Bowser's eyes a little bit there see they're a bit too orange 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 00:08:38.959 --> 00:08:44.000 pretty close honestly the LG is very color accurate I'm really glad we're 00:08:42.399 --> 00:08:49.519 looking at real content now though because looking at test patterns or the 00:08:46.200 --> 00:08:52.360 ASC footage made the difference seem a 00:08:49.519 --> 00:08:57.440 lot differenter mhm looking at a real movie which is going to be mastered with 00:08:55.519 --> 00:09:01.880 Home displays in mind a little bit more I guess I don't find the difference 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 00:09:04.160 --> 00:09:09.640 great still Mario's hat does look a bit 00:09:07.240 --> 00:09:15.760 oversaturated or a bit like maybe pink or purplish compared to here the true 00:09:13.120 --> 00:09:22.079 version looks almost right in between the almost too orangey Samsung and the 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 00:09:24.640 --> 00:09:29.200 I think especially with uh animated content you have less like memory colors 00:09:28.040 --> 00:09:32.680 to reference right like you don't have realistic skin tones and all those kind 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 00:09:36.920 --> 00:09:41.680 that night scene where I was like oh yeah no I know what an ugly yellow 00:09:40.040 --> 00:09:49.240 Street Lamp is supposed to look like well this rainbow burning fire could be 00:09:45.399 --> 00:09:51.880 anything he looks almost palad and dead 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 00:09:54.120 --> 00:10:02.399 supposed to look life 00:09:58.120 --> 00:10:04.680 full Brown uniform green uniform this is 00:10:02.399 --> 00:10:09.760 probably the starkest difference I've seen between the right color and 00:10:07.560 --> 00:10:14.120 completely the wrong color that looks like it could have be made out of 00:10:10.839 --> 00:10:16.480 leather also you can tell that this is 00:10:14.120 --> 00:10:20.560 daylight lit because on the Flanders there's a bit of a Bluey cast to 00:10:18.600 --> 00:10:24.440 everything whereas we're losing that with the oversaturation of the greens on 00:10:22.200 --> 00:10:29.279 the other displays mhm here's what I want to know maybe this is my first 00:10:26.320 --> 00:10:35.279 question for the Flanders folks is the problem that it's more work to just not 00:10:31.959 --> 00:10:37.240 do any processing yeah 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 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 00:10:44.240 --> 00:10:50.360 of the chips they use are off the shelf chips from companies like mediatech so 00:10:47.760 --> 00:10:59.079 we don't do that we do everything on fpg that's why they cost so 00:10:54.600 --> 00:11:01.600 much so it's cost savings thing slash an 00:10:59.079 --> 00:11:07.480 willingness to build your own processor from the ground up to not do any of this 00:11:03.800 --> 00:11:11.120 BS there another dark scene with oranges 00:11:07.480 --> 00:11:13.519 oh my gosh the Samsung is doing so bad 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 00:11:18.680 --> 00:11:26.480 TV incredible o okay dang it I want I 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 00:11:30.880 --> 00:11:36.639 very metallic according to httv test the 00:11:34.160 --> 00:11:40.920 scene coming up should be 2,000 nits coming off of Gandalf so the maximum 00:11:38.839 --> 00:11:45.800 capability of our Flanders and well beyond the maximum capabilities of our 00:11:42.920 --> 00:11:52.040 consumer TVs here yes although it is a bright scene very high APL not sure how 00:11:48.920 --> 00:11:52.040 much that's going to come into play 00:11:52.320 --> 00:11:59.800 here oo pause it everyone's handling this 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 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 00:12:05.440 --> 00:12:12.480 in the uh whatever the light source 00:12:08.639 --> 00:12:15.079 that's behind gandal mhm it be pretty 00:12:12.480 --> 00:12:19.199 good oh yeah yeah yeah you can barely make out the form of his body through 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 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 00:12:27.120 --> 00:12:32.000 Cloak uh yeah so these two are about the 00:12:30.279 --> 00:12:37.360 same they're both hitting around 1,000 nits off of this little beam yeah the 00:12:34.160 --> 00:12:38.760 Samsung's down to about 700 okay and I 00:12:37.360 --> 00:12:43.560 guess that's probably because of tone mapping one thing we didn't focus on 00:12:40.920 --> 00:12:47.959 last time around is an undesirable behavior of the Flanders if you were 00:12:45.480 --> 00:12:53.440 using it for consuming content and that is that if there is a signal that is 00:12:50.800 --> 00:12:58.680 outside of its maximum brightness range rather than just tone mapping it down 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 00:13:01.040 --> 00:13:08.120 will completely lose any detail That was supposed to be there and you can really 00:13:04.920 --> 00:13:09.959 see it on the bird's left cheek here on 00:13:08.120 --> 00:13:14.040 the right side of the frame here there's nothing left of the feather detail there 00:13:11.839 --> 00:13:17.920 whereas actually the LG doesn't do a very good job not doing great Samsung 00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:22.320 though retains some of the texture that's supposed to be there oh yeah LG 00:13:20.399 --> 00:13:25.880 actually manages to Peak even worse than Flanders yeah LG does have Dynamic tone 00:13:24.560 --> 00:13:32.240 mapping on right now but that is the default behavior in filmmaker mode yeah 00:13:28.959 --> 00:13:33.920 yeah and it's just not working very well 00:13:32.240 --> 00:13:37.440 huh oh yeah W this one's really interesting um hey look there's green 00:13:35.800 --> 00:13:41.760 there yeah first off the colors are completely different yeah but here this 00:13:38.959 --> 00:13:45.800 is a great quantization uh banding test pattern so just look at the Samsung you 00:13:43.600 --> 00:13:49.880 can clearly see that white circle just ends right there and then another Circle 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 00:13:52.519 --> 00:13:58.800 looking at the rings of Saturn around the Outer Perimeter yeah whereas the 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 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 00:14:04.240 --> 00:14:11.720 describe the L we use tet a tetrahedral 00:14:09.079 --> 00:14:16.519 interpolation it looks so smooth here it's falling apart so yucky on the rest 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 00:14:19.360 --> 00:14:26.680 interpret all the different little microsteps of color that might exist and 00:14:24.839 --> 00:14:30.720 you can see the consumer displays are falling flat on their faces there's more 00:14:29.240 --> 00:14:34.440 to this thing than just a pretty face though build quality is solid with an 00:14:32.680 --> 00:14:40.320 aluminum chassis and a graphite heat sink and it operates fanless in spite of 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 00:14:43.120 --> 00:14:50.279 this is cool check this out part of why this display is so expensive is because 00:14:47.959 --> 00:14:55.600 it can offer up information that might not be relevant to you but is relevant 00:14:52.560 --> 00:14:57.480 to filmmakers like showing false color 00:14:55.600 --> 00:15:00.759 or a live read out of luminance and waveforms so you can make make sure that 00:14:59.240 --> 00:15:07.399 what you're looking at is as you intended and that's the reason why you 00:15:03.959 --> 00:15:10.399 or I budget aside might not actually 00:15:07.399 --> 00:15:14.360 want to use this as a home display also 00:15:10.399 --> 00:15:16.759 the lack of HDMI etc etc the XMP 550 is 00:15:14.360 --> 00:15:22.920 a tool for professionals and it offers no post-processing whatsoever that 00:15:19.639 --> 00:15:26.160 includes or rather doesn't include tone 00:15:22.920 --> 00:15:28.680 mapping this TV or more accurately 00:15:26.160 --> 00:15:33.120 display shows the footage in its unpr processed form with only a custom 3D l 00:15:31.600 --> 00:15:36.880 or a lookup table to make sure the colors are displayed accurately and 00:15:34.720 --> 00:15:41.399 because of that when we show content that was mastered at a higher brightness 00:15:38.839 --> 00:15:46.480 value rather than roll off pleasingly and retain detail it'll simply clip 00:15:44.399 --> 00:15:51.120 that's intended because a colorist doesn't want to be fooled into thinking 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 00:15:53.360 --> 00:15:59.959 to ensure that they know hey you've gone beyond the capabilities of this display 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 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 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 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 00:16:16.120 --> 00:16:24.480 volumetric color space that can go all the way to 10,000 nits beyond the 00:16:21.600 --> 00:16:30.120 capabilities of even this display I mean QD OED has gotten Us close in terms of 00:16:26.959 --> 00:16:32.240 color saturation but the brightness just 00:16:30.120 --> 00:16:40.079 isn't there yet now the primary competitor to the XMP 550 is Sony's new 00:16:35.480 --> 00:16:42.319 BVM HX 3110 a dual layer LCD mastering 00:16:40.079 --> 00:16:47.319 monitor that uses a technology similar to the high sense 9dg that we covered 00:16:44.880 --> 00:16:53.920 almost 2 years ago it can reach a whopping 4,000 nits but the color 00:16:50.680 --> 00:16:56.639 saturation is narrower to hit 100% of 00:16:53.920 --> 00:17:01.519 the entire volume you'd need basically Pure Color wave lengths like freaking 00:16:58.759 --> 00:17:05.559 lasers displaying your image and that's going to be a while also despite the 00:17:03.800 --> 00:17:09.160 Sony unit offering extra brightness there are a few reasons why you might 00:17:07.160 --> 00:17:14.760 prefer the Flander scientific display first and foremost they're really nice 00:17:12.160 --> 00:17:18.760 people who are entirely nonthreatening no I'm kidding but but 00:17:16.799 --> 00:17:22.799 seriously the near-perfect viewing angles thanks to the quantum do OLED 00:17:21.079 --> 00:17:27.319 panel mean that you can use a single display for both working and showing 00:17:25.240 --> 00:17:31.160 references to your client or boss someone who's likely to be a big deal 00:17:29.480 --> 00:17:36.880 like a studio head or a creative director to illustrate why this matters 00:17:33.720 --> 00:17:39.280 we had an older dual layer LCD mastering 00:17:36.880 --> 00:17:43.480 display at LTX and Brandon was constantly instructing people to no no 00:17:41.480 --> 00:17:49.240 you have to stand directly in front of it or it really doesn't look right 00:17:46.400 --> 00:17:54.520 second OLED's Lightning Fast self aiss of pixels give us zero rise or fall time 00:17:52.039 --> 00:17:59.600 motion blur not to mention Inky blacks without any halation or blooming right 00:17:56.799 --> 00:18:03.799 and also the price yeah I know right at only 00:18:01.159 --> 00:18:09.840 $220,000 it's really well positioned for a brand new mastering monitor our quote 00:18:06.400 --> 00:18:12.440 for the BBM HX 3110 was almost 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 00:18:14.880 --> 00:18:21.360 be dictated by creative requirements rather than budgets if your film 00:18:18.840 --> 00:18:26.400 contains scenes like this for example the a or auto brightness limiter that 00:18:24.000 --> 00:18:30.919 protects our QD OLED panel might preclude its use even if it's doesn't 00:18:28.679 --> 00:18:35.559 operate as aggressively as a consumer display however if I was working on 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 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 00:18:42.039 --> 00:18:51.000 Precision screwdriver the Flanders is also finally a viable alternative to the 00:18:47.559 --> 00:18:54.080 venerable BVM X300 which is still sought 00:18:51.000 --> 00:18:56.760 after today despite being discontinued 00:18:54.080 --> 00:19:02.200 that one used a true RGB stripe OLED panel which avoids washing ing out color 00:18:59.039 --> 00:19:04.760 with a white sub pixel but being older 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 00:19:06.559 --> 00:19:12.840 younger so Burnin is becoming a concern with these displays there are other 00:19:11.120 --> 00:19:20.200 options that are still in production with the BBM e251 and 171 but those are 00:19:16.360 --> 00:19:21.840 1080p at 24 1/2 and 16 1/2 in 00:19:20.200 --> 00:19:24.600 respectively if anyone watching this video actually needs any of this stuff 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 00:19:26.360 --> 00:19:32.320 Brandon from the lab to talk about our measured results from the Flander 00:19:30.200 --> 00:19:37.640 scientific model due to our limited time with the XMP 550 we are only able to 00:19:34.799 --> 00:19:42.320 test its color accuracy with HDR signals for our testing we use the Delta e ITP 00:19:40.159 --> 00:19:46.559 metric for our color error evaluation since it's designed for high luminous 00:19:44.280 --> 00:19:51.840 values and a wide color gamut two integral parts of HDR as we saw earlier 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 00:19:54.000 --> 00:20:00.039 still reasonably accurate as is the G2 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 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 00:20:07.840 --> 00:20:12.960 I've ever measured what's even more impressive is the lack of any major 00:20:11.200 --> 00:20:16.720 change when adding luminance error to the equation see how the values are 00:20:14.640 --> 00:20:21.559 nearly identical the same can't be said for our other ass sets especially the G2 00:20:19.280 --> 00:20:27.320 that's because the XMP outputs light and color basically perfectly to give us 00:20:23.799 --> 00:20:29.400 accurate HDR content its PQ eotf curve 00:20:27.320 --> 00:20:35.320 is tracking nearly identically to the HDR standard meanwhile the G2 and s95 B 00:20:33.159 --> 00:20:39.760 both have minor inaccuracies as well as a worse white balance by comparison and 00:20:37.760 --> 00:20:45.480 even with the XMP 550 capped out at 18800 nits with a d65 white it still 00:20:42.640 --> 00:20:49.480 handily beats our two other TVs overall a very impressive piece of technology 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 00:20:51.840 --> 00:20:58.159 still room for these displays to improve there's no such thing as a perfect 00:20:55.919 --> 00:21:01.440 solution right now now you might have noticed we've been toying with HDR 00:20:59.799 --> 00:21:05.440 recently and you're probably wondering hey lonus I'm watching this video in HDR 00:21:03.200 --> 00:21:10.080 right now do you guys need one of those and depending who you ask production 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 00:21:11.440 --> 00:21:18.120 need one at least not until the check clears from our sponsor Squarespace
