The XMP550 QD OLED mastering monitor from Flanders Scientific is here and it's incredible, but while twenty grand is less than the competition, it's still a LOT of money. Do studios really need them?

Me watching this on a 1080 LCD non-HDR Display: Ah yes, I can see the difference
😂😂ikr. just kept watching
The legend
This guy is a goldmine of memeism
Same, except I thought the expensive display looked way worse. Mario looking pink, the strawberries very weird color. 😂😂😂
You're here 😅
Tiny 55 inch TV, you just called me poor in tech language.
Was going to say this, I thought my 23” monitors felt small let alone a 55” 😂
For real, My biggest tv in the house is 55 😂
When I read the words "tiny tv" i thought the video is about a 10 inch or smaller tv.
He almost aways does that in every video, you will get used 🥲
Who needs a bigger TV when you can install a go go gadget extendo mount
6:12 Linus: "Dirt's not orange!"
Aussies: "You've never been to Australia have you mate?"
Or Utah 😂
In Kenya, everything is red.
Or anywhere whit soil that has a lot of clay in it.
Or Mexico, according to Hollywood 🙄
Or North Carolina...
I sold high end television for years and even been taught by Lucasfilm and certified in THX technologies, just gonna say this is one of the best done videos I have ever seen ever to show the differences and why such an expensive television is worth it. Excellent job folks you did absolutely stellar work here
Yeah well what warrants it to be thousands more in cost
@@its_kierThey mentioned this in the video, the largest factor in the cost is the absence of off-the-shelf chips. Instead they're using FPGAs.
@@its_kierthey don’t cut any corners in production (not cost savings by using 3rd party components that are ultimately worse) and more importantly the target market is quite small, colorists in a professional setting. 20k for a color accurate monitor isn’t even that much more than the standard in these industries, if anything it’s right in line with a lot of professional grade equipment. Whether it’s a RED cinema camera (50k for a sensor), a hasselblad (20k sensor and used just for high detail studio photography), or whatever else it’s just a different kind of product. It isn’t for mass consumption because most of the benefits are irrelevant to most people. Color accuracy is great, but unless you are trained in the field/have a consumer product to directly compare it to a lot of people aren’t going to be able to tell. Same goes for speakers, headphones, monitors, camera lenses and sensors.
TLDR: expensive because it’s all self built and not many people will buy it, meaning the cost has to be higher to ensure it can continue to exist.
I don’t think this video shows “why such an expensive TV is worth it”
@@jaredliveson1764 On a consumer TV, even with all of the processing settings the manufacturer provides you turned off, the chips that decode and present the video are actually still doing some of their own and taking shortcuts wherever they can get away with it without negatively impacting the experience of actually watching media. The panels are also bright enough to display the vast majority of content, but not as bright as they could possibly be manufactured. These are cost-saving measures and the reason a consumer TV costs what it does.
The Flanders display gives you the raw signal and the best panel they can muster. It's not for consumers, it's for the professionals who do a film's color grading during production. It allows them to really dial in the exact changes they're making with the highest degree of accuracy. It's similar to how an audio mastering engineer does all their work on studio-grade headphones for the mixing process, before testing the result on everything from AirPods to car speakers to a smartphone.
It accomplishes this by forgoing the off-the-shelf chips from Mediatek, Samsung, LG, etc. and using FPGAs for everything. These integrated circuits are really expensive - because they can be reprogrammed as many times as you need. Flanders programs these to handle the same tasks as the off-the-shelf chips without the extra processing, and without having to fabricate their own custom chips.
Ok either shaved linus is AI or they are REALLY ahead with these videos schedule.
I think its the former…
They are REALLY ahead
But some videos do get out faster than others. Im guessing this is one of those filler videos thats in the bank
They have two linuses, one shaved and one bearded. Shaved was imprisoned for a long time, but something happened and they released him
@@pritorchannel3698 lies
Probably, recorded earlier.. they record multiple videos and projects in a day after all.. to keep consistent uploads.. imagine 1 video per 2 months ☠️.. although that would make it Netflix level quality.. 😂
I'm scared for the moment beard-less linus escapes hibernation... the end times are near
The beard-less It's coming...
Gets me every time... I'm afraid
3:12
Last few videos have had some unsettling, non scruffy segways to their sponsors.
We should all be afraid. The end is near.
Guy in my team used to work for a company that made display port KVMs for studios, they were basically display and audio pipelines implemented on FPGA. the amount of work that goes on to NOT add ‘corrections’ and have ‘what you see is what you get’ is wild.
This video made me question if I had a dead pixel on my monitor...
Every time the camera went to Linus and Brandon, there was a single white dot on the screen in the exact same place every time.
What really got me was the low light quality of their camera while they're in shadow too. No idea why the white pixel was showing up, maybe some post processing error?
@@chalion8399even in HDR 4K I had the same issue here
Was just about to comment this, the one dead pixel in Brandon's hair was driving me mad
I had a similar experience. They made me think my screen was broken.
@@chalion8399 When you crank the ISO of most cameras there are always pixels that end up showing up 'bright', even after a black frame calibration it just seems to be the way cameras are. I know most LTT videos are shot on FX6s which are pretty good with low light, but even so this video looked to be shot in the 100,000 ISO range which is cranking it by any definition.
Did anyone else panic and thought they had a dead pixel whenever Linus and Brandon are both on the screen?
xD yes, me! Was just checking that out. I was starting to think my screen had a dead pixel but I noticed it wasn't present in other shots or when moving a window over it.
Oyeah almost had an heart attack
Yep came here to see if anyone else saw this
Maaaaaaybeeee ... Lol
YES
The attention to detail in this video is incredible, from the HDR display to the purposely dimmed website captures. Truly top-notch production!
editing maybe but their writing and accuracy of information has been proven to be questionable
@@bradhaines3142The Flanders scientific people were there... Doesn't get much more accurate than that.
@@bradhaines3142such as? They're steering a lot towards accuracy and they have been for a while now
@@techkidwhiz*biased - I wouldn't want to review a product with the manufacturer/marketer in the room lol
@@rileysimmons9886eh i mean this time its not like youre gonna buy a tv for 20k anyways
I only just started watching this video and instantly noticed it was in HDR. Thank you LTT and keep up the good work!
I love how these days a 55" tv is 'tiny'
When he said “the Samsung is more pleasing to my eye” I think it summed a lot of this up really well. For nearly everyone, and nearly all content, how it’s “supposed” to look matters far less than if looks the way the watcher wants.
Same for audio, studio monitors aren't always the best experience even though they may be more accurate. People like 'colour' in their audio, not usually the more flat audio experience.
yeah, this is a neat review in terms of geek factor but, watching this review on my 1440p IPS monitor, it's like, who cares - I'm not buying it, i'll never know the difference and literally none of the displays I'll ever watch content on will have this accuracy. you really have to wonder what the point is. I guess cinema displays - projectors or IMAX - but what % of professional content/cinema consumers actually view via those channels these days? everyone's streaming on their sh-tbox 4k budget TV or monitor these days
Same with audio. F.e. a lot of people are critical of Sony dynamically tuning the 1000X-series. But in the past they had the 1R-series that was tuned more neutral, and people didn't buy it. I would say that even people who say they like neutral sound do in fact not like it.
The TV manufacturers did their research and know what people like, even better than the people themselves who often don't like the cinema-settings or film-maker mode (which still isn't as accurate as what a monitor like this XMP550 or the Sony, Trimaster series and probably a compromise between producers and experts from the part taking manufacturers) but when they get used to it, they do.
And this is the problem. The general public is not very "bright" catering to this just ruins everything for the rest of us.
@@JFat5158 Preach. Tried Genelecs for a while years ago, and while they were amazing, they just lacked all the pizzazz, had to change to passives for that fun sound.
I always appreciate the videos where they show us differences in screens and audio quality and I'm watching on my 8 year old computer monitor with built in 3w speakers.
Probably 99% of people.
I have a three monitor setup with three different monitors (not used concurrently, two are side-by-side with one made for color-accurate editing while the third is on an arm in front of my gaming couch) and I enjoyed watching this on all three at the same time and seeing the differences, and then knowing that I'll never really know the real difference because this was all filmed. Maybe I need to get a Flanders for my fourth monitor :P
watching this on an iphone 7 🎉
I'm watching on my pixel 6a
i love this new method of throwing linus in a part of the scene to fill in the viewer with more info and tidbits, idk if it was cause you guys left it out of the script or not but that is very smooth and i wouldnt know if thats fixing a mistake or just a bit either way, loving the progress keep things like this up guys good work
the white pixel at 8:21 - 8:25 freaked me out, i just got new monitors and i was scared that i already got a dead pixel
xDDD, i just got a new monitor too, but i saw teh comments beforehand :D
7:25 Right after he says "picking at" there is a cut. My heart sank for a split second as I thought I had dead pixels.
Right side of Brandon's Hair and way off to the right of Linus' head lol
bruh, i freaked out too
I stopped the video right away and jumped to another tab to check for dead pixels. Phew!!!
I wiped my screen and it went away and thought it was me lmao
that dead pixel on their camera bout gave me a heart attack.
same just bought this G9 like 2 months ago almost cried
Bearded Linus and not Bearded Linus in the same video? Amazing!
only the fake Linus has real tattoo on his #monetizeda$$
The Linus we need AND deserve!
Its a God damn "Prestige." This whole "tech channel" has been a CIA psyop directed by Christopher Nolan since day one.
It's Schrödinger's Linus !
I just want to take a moment to appreciate the LTT team for dealing with YT's wack processing and making sure these videos are available in 4k and everything else it is seriously so nice
I hope this does well because I absolutely love comparisons of high grade enterprise/mastering/EXTREMELY non consumer devices to consumer devices and in a lot of cases, the gap is closing. So it's always super interesting.
tbh the samsung is extremly bad here, thats more than a "gap"
MOM: Beard-less Linus isn't real. He can't hurt you❤
Beard-less Linus:HETZNER！！！
**Lorax Voice** Thats a LINUX??????
ur not an og are ya? that used to be linus
@destroyer99612 lol just joking, been watching Linus since 2011
When I've seen this, I wondered if that's some old footage.
Hetzner is not a trustworthy company, look at their history they are laden with criminal activity
The phrase "memory colors" immediately hit in a way that helped me understand why "reference" footage versus various display processing magic. If you're looking at something for which you have no frame of reference, it could look like anything at all and you will just accept it. If you're looking at something that your brain has an immediate reference for, differences stand out. But, as with all content, color matching is only as good as the palette designed by the color editor. Whatever was filmed by the camera will never be seen by the end user regardless of display; it goes through myriad filters and adjustments that (presumably) have taken into consideration it will be played back on a variety of displays.
HDR is amazing and i am all there for it! Thanks for uploading this in HDR.
HDR content is great wish more content on youtube was HDR👍
That 1 white pixel when on Brandon and Linus scene make me think i have a frozen pixel on my display -.-
Those reference displays are the reason directors shot movies in pitch black conditions and a regular person cannot see shit as a result. Even the highest-end, expensive TV under optimal viewing conditions will not allow you to see all the details of scene. Movie directors do live in a fantasy land.
No lol, that's not the reason. That's the fault of the colourist not doing a good job of making sure it's viewable on consumer devices.
Most film directors shoot for the movie theater, and then hope some colorits can bridge the gap to TV for them.
@@Mandaramaster exactly
This reminds me of when I was working a job at the Sony Store in the Galleria Mall in Dallas TX circa 2007, when Sony released the XEL-1: the world's first OLED Television. The screen was tiny, at only 11 inches diagonal, and it cost $2,500. Crazy how far we've come since then!
That was the TV I thought of when reading the video title, saw it at a Sony store when went to a GDC convention in 2008. Really left an impression at the time.
This brought back memories of reviewing video output on a studio monitor. It was an old Sony CRT model, and only a grade 2 device, but the quality that it picked up and showed was tremendous. It was well worth it compared to any other display we tried by comparison, and that's before all the useful features such as a proper visual overscan display, colour masking and anything else available was used.
I have a 65” OLED LG G3, it’s been an eye opener from my old Non HDR LCD Panasonic 55”
The camera filming Brandon and Linus show a white stuck pixel located mostly in the hairs of Brandon. Anyone noticed ?
Yep. A few weeks ago (about a month now), I noticed the same pixel in another video.
you can really see it when it zooms in on linus at 13:31
LTT has done many display videos in the past, and I'm happy to say this is the first (in my memory of watching LTT) that matches HDTVTest in terms of technical level.
Love this and would love to see more content focused on SDI/Professional broadcasting and filmmaking equipment!
The LG OLED is a pretty standard “client” monitor alongside a colorist’s Flanders (or equivalent) just for anyone curious. Of course, proper pipeline, and paying a tech to professionally calibrate it still apply.
10:45 TCL is actually one of the few mass-market TV OEMs which is vertically integrated, including in the chips.
This is quite impressive as they have budget-friendly offerings.
Hence, I typically assume that they see it as not a part of their core business.
Which is especially strange, given that the chip is something which can make or break a TV.
Moreover, Samsung has a branch which designs and manufacturers chips.
Calling Hassan a “creator” is a big stretch
Fr, he’s more of a yapper
A "reactor" to say the least.
I didn't see hassan was this later in the vid?
True he's just insufferable tbh
@@0mitt3d lmao he is like in the first 10 seconds
I remember back in the early days of FSI (mid 2000's) when they came by our shop to demo their first monitors. At the time they were more the less expensive version of the higher end monitors (like sony, dolby, etc). They brought a klein color sensor as well. It was an interesting demo, but hard to beat our CRTs at the time (blacks especially of course, we had large widescreen sony CRTs BVM-D32 I think.) Fun to see them rise to the top!
Thank you for making this video in hdr
Surgical monitors are very similar and they are fantastic monitors. Even going back to CRTs, these "broadcast" and medical monitors are far superior to what the normal person would get at home.
You can at least get those surplus rather inexpensively. They are excellent to use with a microscope camera. ❤
For everyday users, a $250 option is more than enough. Understanding the high-end tech and appreciating its justification is a journey on its own.
The $250 option is terrible for even normal users. get a halfway decent TV.
The $250 option will be complete ass, I'm sorry to say. At least for something like a 55-inch TV, it will be a bottom-barrel panel with none of the bells and whistles. HDR? Nope. HDMI 2.1/high refresh rate/VRR? Nope. Color accuracy? In your dreams. You'll be lucky to get even the most basic local dimming.
You have clearly never actually seen a quantum dot display of any type. It is the biggest improvement in display since the colour CRT. It won the Nobel prize in physics for good reason.
You have clearly never actually seen an OLED display@@mycosys
Define "everyday users". Someone who watches movies everyday in their home room theater for example is also considered an everyday user but would most certainly NOT consider a $250 tv to "more then enough". The only people who would accept that kind of tv are going to be those who have never tried anything better OR people who can't afford better.
Awesome video! Was really interesting to see the difference between the TV's
I have tried a lot of different OLED TV's. By far, my favorite TV i have seen is the one i own. The LG C2 (and hopefully soon the C3). Not only is it amazing for watching movies, but gaming in 4K 120fps with gsync on my 4070 ti super / 7800x3d PC build really takes advantage of what the LG C2 has to offer. I went with the 42" and got it open box, but brand new, for $700. From PC, to PS5, to watching movies and shows, i truly belive it is the best tv you can get for its cost.
Flanders Scientific who happened to be in the neighborhood huh? So not only does he pray for God now, he also makes reference TVs
crazy and great job with later editing!
Tech monitor info series brings me so much happiness
Glad to see the E251 and E171 BVMs getting a quick shout out in the end. They remain the absolute best SDR HD (and, with some qualifications, SD) displays ever. If only these Flanders monitors had BFI for motion clarity on 60fps content they'd be seriously compelling. The HX3110 does have it as an option if you buy a license for it.
Seeing Hetzner Ads on LTT while being Hetzner customer since years, both in our company as well as for my private stuff. Feels good to have such a great, local sponsor on this channel.
They ask for driver’s license to sign up
@@techbulb3440 Dont know how it is in other countries, but in Germany they only require payment information, which is kinda obvious though.
Thanks for the HDR upload, I haven't seen much content in HDR on youtube. Gandalf's scene was kind of like a flashbang in a good way if that makes sense.
I don't know if any one mentioned it, but @ 9:47 to 9:49, the Tree Bark seen on the XMP550 was MUCH clearer than the S95B. It was more noticeable around the top backside of his head,but the Grain definition depth is cleaner on this monitor. The difference to me was like night and day. Now i look again in still shot,the jaw area too shows lighter and more detail too.
I am also viewing this @ 4K 30FPS on you tube on a ASUS PG32UQR 4K. Looks Amazing !
I've been hoping for Monitors to reach this level of Accuracy, per say to the Human Eye, without TOO much extravagance ! This Monitor comes close, you have to start somewhere ! It will only get better. That will be the eye poppers!
Would I like to have it,YES. Can I afford it? NO ! Uncle left me at the bottom of the Hand-Out Line with Peas every Month ! 😓
Something like the XMP550 @ $20K is completely not within any possible reach on my budget. Even if it was $5K. FPGA's are nothing new,they are just creeping into this space now. They use this sort of tech in Engineering Procs so they can re-program them all the time on the Fly,so to speak. Another reason that makes FPGAs more expensive,more to it than that though. And they are faster than a cpu driven unit. Like everything,there are good and bad. Now if we can get some MORE NEW Mixes into the different screen technologies into the fray to help push us into in next Frontier,instead of same old same old. Looking at BATTERIES !! Don't get me started. I will end that note here. 😎
Currently running 2x LG 27GL83A-B 27" QHD IPS 1ms NVIDIA G-SYNC. Interesting video.
Another HDR video. Thank you so much! Do it more, please!
I watched it because it was in HDR, wish more videos were because it is always a treat :)
This is the most relatable LTT video to date.
I'm watching this video on my 250 USD MVA monitor from 2013 and I can confirm that I'm very satisfied by all these color differences and brightness halos on these 20000 USD TVs :)
Finally a great HDR showcase, LTT finally shot many of their videos in HDR, and they upload them in HDR, which is now becoming increasingly widespread in smartphones, tablets, oled monitors and TVs
Bro that Mad Max still @ 11:26 is too dope. Screen cap that and send it to ya boy😂
Linus: "why would anybody buy a 55" TV for 20k?"
US Government: "hold my beer"
can we appreciate how they setup the video sections to make people who skip the ad get talked to personally lmao
This is a great video! Only thing is I wish that instead of the LG they could've used the Sony A95L to also compare the very best TV in the market
You really need to like start testing a lot more TVs from cheap to mid to expensive because it would definitely help a lot of people to select their TVs of what’s good and what’s bad
Was extra enjoyable to watch this HDR video on my Aorus FO48U with HDR on. Super rare on CZcams. 😊
I feel like this is one video where having the main version be an emulated HDR -> SDR one and then a separate true HDR one would've been well worth it. I'm just using an affordable ultrawide and even the things that aren't pointed out are just mostly invisible on my monitor, because while it has very accurate colors it does not do darkness very well
More pro video content!! Please!! I love it!! I'd love to know ypur take on Mac colorspace and display gamma issues!
i still have my old eizo monitor that came with the smoke suite back in the day, still today holds up
I was watching this on a decent office monitor.
Then i went and watched again on my S23 Ultra and there is a significant difference in everything.
I knew there was gonna be a huge difference, but i rarely watch HDR content and it always amazes me when i do.
was NOT expecting an LTT video in HDR
Please more hdr videos! I did not know how nice it looks on my phone
The dead pixel or like... improper response of the camera that was recording Linus and Brandon was super distracting at times! Thought my monitor popped a mini-led at first, because it's not on every shot. Very interesting, and makes me wonder how many other videos it is in where it hid in the brighter scenes
All you gotta do is dial back the contrast and saturation a bit and bump up the brightness a notch or two and there you go.
Just change the contrast to 47 that's what I had to do with my lg also bring down the gama a bit resorts in a pretty big difference I would also bring down saturation vibrance down one or two points
The undertaking of a new action brings new strength.
The dead pixels on the camera sensor at 5:52 and 7:30 had me thinking my brand new (as of today) monitor had a dead pixel. (to the far right, a little above halfway up the frame)
at 7:29 that one pixel in the guys hair scared the crap out of me i thought my monitor had a dead one lol
Linus is a great performer and speaker, possessing the ability to inspire belief and radiate a positive vibe in front of the camera. I never felt deceived.
6:03 if you use filmmaker mode on Samsung TV you are basically watching content through lightly applied sepia filter so it doesn't surprise me that you would complain about color accuracy
So hard to appreciate through a notfilmmaker grade monitor, though youTube video compression.
This makes me miss my old 60" plasma lol... back in 2013 I bought a Panasonic plasma, that was pretty much the end of the road for that display type, but I always loved watching films on it. The processing it did to the signal was pretty low, the dynamic range wasn't huge, but just something about the way the plasma produced the tones was so good to me. Now I have a 65" oled from Sony, I upgraded it in 2020 when we got a PS5 (I wanted something that could do HDR and 120fps), but the truth is the viewing angle is so much worse, the blacks even with strong local dimming are... not very even, and the processing this new TV does to everything is just mind numbing. Heck even switching from a Bluray to netflix requires changing the settings and often times Netflix has somehow entered a deal with Sony to not let you change many of the settings. I still have a media PC so I can bypasss Netflix's tom foolery that way, but I miss just having a TV with base settings and a solid screen.
That being said this new TV is 4k, uses less energy, stays waaaay cooler which is nice since I live in Florida... but yeah. It's hard to understate just what a quality display can do in person.
These are intended for preview of movies to tune the color balances for the theatrical release. That is a very exclusive market and in no small part is why they are so expensive.
I absolutely love my c2. For 800 dollars, any downside mentioned in this video seems negligible and I'm super happy using it as my main monitor for my PC and PS5
I have a pair of mems laser projectors that can hit those very narrow wavelengths for color volume but they are not anywhere close to bright enough unless the screen is the size of a postage stamp
From about 6:15 there's a dead pixel on your camera or some other anomaly when facing both you guys, i panicked thinking my 2 week old qled was imperfect but it's definitely there.
“Do you wanna experience true level!? We’ll do you?!” 🤣🤣
This actually makes me want to buy this TV. The trees in the first scene just look so realistic. This also made me realize when I dont like LG TVs, their picture is always too cool looking where the warmer samsung looks better to me
Linus in two weeks: "I bought this monitor for all my employees" 💀
Watching this video on my 14.5" 2.8k OLED laptop display was amazing. Please give us mode 4k HDR content!
Flanders is in Belgium. We got mentioned YEEAH!!
I would have loved to see a comparison between the reference monitor and a calibrated samsung and lg. I wonder if there are differences beyond the color accuracy. Obviously the brightness reproduction is also a distinct difference.
The HDR of these videos are looking better and better
That segway was one of your best ones 😂
Novel idea but from what I know about colorists and colour grading is that they use regular monitors and TVs for content creation, as that is how it will be viewed by pretty much everyone. Making content look superb on a very niche and specific display doesnt make much sense if it then looks bad on a regular screen. There are ofcourse variations with grading for a cinema or TV. What Im saying is that to get the full experience you need to view content specifically made for this type of screen.
The XMP's highlight clipped on my monitor 😂 the sky is just a white blob. Guess time for a new monitor
I like how at the 7:30 mark they display a white pixel in the upper left middle of the screen. Literally thought I had a bad pixel there for a second!
eheheh, good to see you finally saw a professional production monitor!
not connecting to the internet is what makes it stands out for me, most tvs now want you to connect to the internet so badly while also being horrible in every way.
Love how they sound like the two other TV's are actually horrible, when, in fact, they are quite alright
I want reviews on TVs close to the xmp550. The lg is holding up well
I mean... you're also using FilmMaker mode on the LG which is leagues worse than standard since the standard hdr mode cuts out a lot of that extra processing. I've noticed that from day 1 on my tv.
Never Seen LTT look so beautiful. Y'all should upload in HDR more.
I just bought a 55" TCL roku yesterday for $248 U.S. Was a bit skeptical, but actually not bad! 🤷♂️
omg please do this again but with newer samsung and LG TVs!!!
That speck of dust on the camera lens (the camera recording the guys) that made me think I had a dead pixel !
What are these guys using to stream the content to each TV? HDR video looks great btw.
