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?

the price tag is 20k because welk they can
so how do you plug this thing in? no 4090 gpu with those outputs
This just finally made me realize something I've always disagreed with. All my friends at work say Samsung makes terrible TV's, I always just thought they couldn't be that bad. I was wrong, they 100% are that bad.
So it functions as a good old CRT monitor
@LinusTechTips Apparently the latest S95B firmware has reduced the max brightness significantly. There are ways to restore it through secret menus but quite a lot of complaints out there at Samsungs behaviour. Unsure their reasoning but it appears to affect the picture quite a bit.
As a fellow BC S95B owner to Brandon, I’d love it if that could be tested by the labs team to either validate or dismiss the claims.
One of the reasons I chose the S95B over the C2 was your original video where the impressions seem vastly different to the LG today.
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.
So XMP850 plus Logan Martin electro static speakers. Got it.
Have you tried to calibrate LG and Samsung displays?
I mean – I have an LG, I had to calibrate the screen to get a good picture. This means going into theater custom mode as a profile and making 200 entries – so three settings for each color and spectrum, etc…
Have you calibrated your test screens?
Edith:
Btw… I always turn off those extremely cringe Picture-wors-bbetter (in German "verschlimmbesserer") postprocessing crap.
Sure !
intro scenes were a little dark (visibly)
Nah, I'll save $19,500 and get a Samsung SmartTV. Plus, I can adjust RGB and pick a picture mode to get kinda close. This is more like the wealthy, color grading/cinematography enthusiast market.
What movies was playing on the test footage
Why would you want a luminance scale on the display while you can just have it on a smartscope monitor?
So, all in all, it doesn't matter because none of us have a "professional" tv like that anyways.
I waited for a Ned Flanders referrence.
So why all manufacterers dont make screens like that xmp550 ??
phuk u i wrote a comment two time but it disappeared☹
why do you want to get your eyes tiered? i use my monitor with lowest brightnes plus powersaving mode to even more fade in
Samsung is a fraud then
Need this shit to watch lighthouse
So i guess in 2024 a 55" TV is now considered "Tiny".
This explains why you should get a Sony.
Have we gotten to the point where a 55 in tv is tiny!?
7:30 – my heart stopped for a second seeing a dead pixel on a brand new monitor…
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.
Linus considers 55" as tiny, how big do you want it?
This video looked really bad in SDR
3:12 shaved Linus jump scare.
