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
  • @azured909
    Tiny 55 inch TV, you just called me poor in tech language.
  • @gh8447
    6:12 Linus: "Dirt's not orange!" Aussies: "You've never been to Australia have you mate?"
  • @JimParshall
    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
  • @matroixtv
    Ok either shaved linus is AI or they are REALLY ahead with these videos schedule.
  • @countbowl
    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.
  • @WhoKnows287
    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.
  • @SunnyZ
    6:12 "Dirt's not orange" Lives in Australia, looks out window towards dirt. Yup, it sure is orange, with a tinge of red too.
  • @dealforbet8888
    The attention to detail in this video is incredible, from the HDR display to the purposely dimmed website captures. Truly top-notch production!
  • @raidtheferry
    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
  • @ReinR
    I only just started watching this video and instantly noticed it was in HDR. Thank you LTT and keep up the good work!
  • @_GeekyDad_
    Did anyone else panic and thought they had a dead pixel whenever Linus and Brandon are both on the screen?
  • @Huebz
    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.
  • @Lyzer69
    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
  • @jerrys.9895
    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.

    MOM: Beard-less Linus isn't real. He can't hurt you❤ Beard-less Linus:HETZNER!!!
  • Pulling from the labs crew for more in-depth details is incredible! The added insight the labs members have on more specific/niche tech is a critical touch
  • @Spiralem
    That 1 white pixel when on Brandon and Linus scene make me think i have a frozen pixel on my display -.-
