65" QD-OLED HDR Mastering Monitor

The XMP650 is the larger, 65" version, of our HPA Award winning 55" XMP550. With nearly 40% more screen area than the 55" model the XMP650 is well suited to larger room installations where a 55" display might be too small. Just like the XMP550 the XMP650 is a UHD resolution HDR and SDR reference mastering built around groundbreaking new QD-OLED panel technology featuring up to 2,000nits peak luminance, 4,000,000:1 contrast, and an exceptionally wide color gamut.

HDR Compatibility Rating: Mastering

The XMP650 qualifies as a Dolby Vision mastering monitor finally bringing an end to the days of compromising between smaller reference grade HDR displays and larger non-reference client displays. The XMP650 delivers the best of both worlds with truly reference grade performance and professional connectivity in a form factor large enough for both the colorist and clients to view.

 

Color Management

All FSI monitors come pre-calibrated from the factory and the XMP650 also features highly accurate volumetric Auto Calibration making it incredibly easy for clients to recalibrate the display over time.

Simply plug a supported probe directly into the monitor and the advanced GaiaColor AutoCal routine will profile the monitor and use volumetric data to accurately target a very wide variety of available color management selections. 3D and 1D LUTs are calculated and saved on the fly as color management selections on the monitor are made, making for one simple and unified calibration process, all without requiring a computer.

The QD-OLED Advantage

This is OLED without compromise.

The XMP650 is uniquely qualified for use as a large format HDR Program Mastering Monitor, learn why in our Technical Overview PDF.

Advantages Over Other OLED Technologies

Other available OLED technologies are either too dim for HDR mastering or suffer from very significant volumetric collapse due to their non-additive RGB+W sub pixel structures making them unsuitable for HDR use cases that demand color accuracy. QD-OLED is truly RGB additive for white, thus avoiding color volume limitations, and easily exceeds 1,000nits peak luminance with plenty of headroom to spare.

Exceptional Off-Axis Viewing

The XMP650 has the widest viewing angle, with the least off-axis contrast and color shift, ever featured in an FSI display. So not only will a colorist’s clients benefit from being able to view a reference image on a large screen they will also have the flexibility to view the image from anywhere in the room without having to worry about the off-axis limitations often seen in other display technologies.

Advantages over FALD LCD

The XMP650’s accurate per pixel level luminance control means true black levels at all times with none of the small bright object or motion artifact limitations found on FALD (Full Array Local Dimming) LCDs. The per pixel emissive design of the XMP650’s QD-OLED panel guarantees exceptional simultaneous contrast with all varieties of content.

With the XMP650 you can rest assured that compared to FALD LCDs:

  • Highlight detail will not be obscured due to backlight zone flaring.
  • Shadow detail and black levels will not be compromised by halation.
  • There will be no color shift or artificial flicker with fast moving bright objects.
  • No scene cut anomalies as can be found on some FALD that exhibit differential rise/fall times of LED backlight phosphors.

While the amount of halation can vary greatly between FALD LCDs, all FALD systems will show at least some degree of raised black levels and haloing when rendering a high contrast image like this example of a white circles on a black background graphic. The XMP650’s QD-OLED panel on the other hand can render these types of very bright white highlights while maintaining the intended deep black background.

Power Efficiency

The XMP650 is very power efficient compared to most other reference grade HDR display solutions. Display technologies like LMCL (Light Modulating Cell Layer) LCDs are highly inefficient as they not only need to pass light through two separate TFT layers, but also because their backlights always remain fully engaged drawing the same high amount of power whether displaying very dark or very bright images. When compared with bottom emission OLED technologies the efficiency of the XMP650’s top emission display structure means less power is required to attain the same luminance levels.

Advantages over Global Dimming LCDs

Reference grade HDR displays should be able to produce high simultaneous contrast, not just a bright image. Global dimming LCDs can either produce a bright image or a dark image, but cannot produce images that simultaneously have bright highlights and dark lowlights. Global dimming LCD specifications often quote high sequential contrast ratio figures, where a display’s peak luminance and black level are measured at different times, but this can be quite misleading as simultaneous contrast is problematically low on these devices for any HDR content mastering use-cases. The XMP650 features class leading simultaneous contrast rendering both bright highlights and dark lowlights with incredible clarity and accuracy at the same time.

Quiet Fanless Design

The XMP650 utilizes a combination of a graphite heat sink and all aluminum chassis to efficiently dissipate heat without relying on fans. Many consumer devices use a plastic chassis, which can act as an insulator trapping heat and impacting panel performance. An aluminum chassis not only provides increased strength and durability in professional installs, it also helps efficiently conduct heat away from the panel.

This fanless design provides users with both a quieter and lower maintenance HDR grading display.

Professional Connectivity

12Gbps SDI connections greatly simplify room design by allowing you to feed 4K and UHD signals to the display over a single cable. Quad 1.5Gbps and 3Gbps SDI connectivity are also supported ensuring compatibility with practically any type of 4K or UHD output.

The XMP650 supports advanced signal formats up to 12bit 4:4:4 at 4K resolution setting it apart from less advanced monitoring solutions.

The XMP650 features the unique ability to simultaneously supply a clean 12G / 6G loop through and real-time quarter-sample down converted 3G or 1.5G output. Any incoming single link 4K or UHD signals can be converted to 2K or HD outputs for downstream HD monitors or scopes, all without needing any standalone down conversion equipment.

Advanced Signal Status Detection

XMP series monitors automatically read payload ID (VPID) information embedded in SDI signals and configure the monitor’s SDI Format mode for proper support of 4:4:4 or 4:2:2, 10 or 12bit, and RGB or YCbCr signals. This information can also be temporarily displayed whenever a format change is detected so that you can be sure that what you intend to output to the monitor is what the monitor receives.

A VPID override toggle is also provided allowing users to manually configure the monitor in instances where the payload ID may be missing or incorrect.

Quad-View Mode with 4 Channel LUT Support

Perfect for multi-cam applications, XMP series monitors allow up to 4 synchronized HD input signals to be displayed on screen at the same time. Quad View mode can be quickly activated or deactivated with a single button press allowing you to easily view all 4 signals at the same time or any selected input full screen.

Additionally, Quad-View Mode offers 4 channel LUT support so that each quadrant can have its own unique 3D LUT applied.*

Native UHD Resolution

The XMP650 is a true UHD resolution monitor (3840x2160) that supports full screen viewing of HD and Ultra HD signals and will also accept 4K signals and scale them automatically to fit on screen while preserving native signal aspect ratio.

High-Quality, Ultra-Low-Latency Scaling

XMP series monitors feature high-quality bicubic scaling, ensuring that even HD sources appear clear and sharp on screen. Unlike many consumer devices, this scaling is performed in near real-time, offering exceptional, low-latency processing that’s ideal for on-set or audio-critical applications.

Additionally, a 1:1 pixel mapping mode is available, providing a true reference QC viewing mode for any incoming signal.

Interlaced Signal Monitoring

The XMP650 has the unique ability to replicate interlaced video accurately on screen making it ideal for spotting quality control concerns like field reversals. The XMP650’s QD-OLED panel is also not susceptible to the fast onset TIR & after-image flicker that occurs on many IPS LCD panels when trying to simulate interlaced video accurately on screen.
