Description

Flanders Scientific XMP 551 QD-OLED Reference Monitor: Unrivaled 4K HDR Critical Monitoring

The Flanders Scientific XMP551 is a state-of-the-art 55-inch 4K QD-OLED (Quantum Dot OLED) professional reference monitor, meticulously engineered to provide the ultimate in visual accuracy for color grading, mastering, and critical image evaluation. Representing the pinnacle of display technology, the XMP551 delivers breathtaking contrast, unparalleled color fidelity, and exceptional brightness, making it an indispensable tool for leading post-production facilities, broadcast studios, and filmmakers worldwide. It is designed for professionals who demand absolute precision when working with high dynamic range (HDR) and standard dynamic range (SDR) content.

Groundbreaking QD-OLED Technology:

At the core of the XMP551 is its innovative Quantum Dot OLED panel. This revolutionary technology combines the perfect black levels and infinite contrast ratio of traditional OLED with the superior brightness, expansive color volume, and pure color reproduction of Quantum Dot filters. The result is a display capable of producing true, deep blacks alongside incredibly vibrant and accurate colors, free from off-axis color shift or blooming artifacts, even at peak brightness.

Unyielding 4K HDR Performance:

The XMP551 boasts a stunning 3840×2160 (4K UHD) native resolution, ensuring every subtle detail in your high-resolution content is rendered with pristine clarity. It offers an impressive 1000 nits of full-screen sustained luminance for exceptional HDR delivery and peaks far beyond for specular highlights, enabling accurate visualization of HDR formats like PQ (Perceptual Quantizer) and HLG (Hybrid Log-Gamma). This combination of brightness, contrast, and black level is crucial for validating HDR content across its entire dynamic range.

Unmatched Color Accuracy and Consistency:

As a true reference monitor, the XMP551 provides industry-leading color accuracy. It delivers an incredibly wide color gamut, covering virtually 100% of DCI-P3 and a significant portion of the Rec.2020 color space, allowing you to see colors exactly as they were intended. Each unit undergoes rigorous factory calibration, ensuring precise adherence to professional color standards for consistent and reliable results across projects and viewing environments.

Comprehensive Professional Features:

The XMP551 is equipped with a full suite of professional monitoring tools to streamline your workflow:

  • Extensive Connectivity: Features multiple 12G-SDI inputs, supporting single-wire 4K signals up to 60p, alongside HDMI 2.0 inputs for broad compatibility with various sources.
  • Advanced Scopes: Integrated waveform, vectorscope, and histogram displays provide detailed insights into your signal levels, color saturation, and luminance distribution.
  • Flexible Monitoring Tools: Includes false color, peaking, zoom, pixel-to-pixel mapping, anamorphic de-squeeze, and marker overlays for precise image analysis.
  • Custom LUT Support: Allows for loading and applying 3D LUTs for accurate color space transforms and look management.
  • Low Latency Processing: Ensures real-time signal processing with minimal delay, crucial for live production and precise editing.

Robust Design for Critical Environments:

Built for the demanding nature of professional post-production and broadcast environments, the XMP551 features a durable and robust construction. Its solid chassis and thoughtful design ensure reliable performance day after day, providing a dependable solution for critical monitoring tasks.

The Flanders Scientific XMP551 QD-OLED Reference Monitor is the definitive display for professionals who require the highest level of accuracy and performance for their 4K HDR and SDR content. It empowers colorists, DPs, and editors to make confident, precise decisions, ensuring their visual masterpieces are represented with absolute fidelity.
