Thomas Singh December 12, 2017 Share December 12, 2017 Flanders just announced a new 60" client monitor that will start shipping in January. What do you think about it? http://www.flandersscientific.com/XM650U/ Link to comment Share on other sites
Bruno Mansi December 12, 2017 Share December 12, 2017 The Flanders website are saying this is a 65" monitor. Since it's OLED, I'm wondering who's panel it's using. LG? Link to comment Share on other sites
Thomas Singh December 12, 2017 Author Share December 12, 2017 Hope not, LG got serious issues with their panels. Link to comment Share on other sites
Jussi Rovanperä December 13, 2017 Share December 13, 2017 LG might be the only manufacturer of big OLED panels... But FSI is picking the best (and expensive) panels, and test each of them for quality and performance. And the rest of the monitor is their own electronics. Link to comment Share on other sites
Thomas Singh December 13, 2017 Author Share December 13, 2017 I bet you are right, but unfortunately it's not possible to discover all the technical issues like image retention and uniformity without running tests over time. I vote for Sony A1. Link to comment Share on other sites

Dylan R. Hopkin December 17, 2017 Share December 17, 2017 The XM650 looks like a great contender for UHD grading. I presume that FSI maintain a high level QC of panels. We are considering a purchase since we need a large UHD grading monitor. A shame it’s not HDR-master quality though. Most probably due to the fact that OLED usually peaks at somewhere between 500 - 700 nits, depending on size of the highlight area. Where LCD screens are extremely bright. Sidenote: I bought a LG OLED 65 C7 as a home TV, had to return it after 14 days. The panel uniformity was terrible. Highlights showed that the left side of the screen was yellow (from the left edge and 20% inwards), same error on the right side with magenta tint. A great disappointment since the image quality, apart from the highlight tint, was stunning. The Sony A1 might be better, but there are plenty of horror tales concerning the OLED panel too. All in all 65” or worse than 55” for the consumer units. FSI make great monitors. I doubt they will sell units with bad OLED panels. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites
