  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

New Flanders Scientific OLED...

oh yeah! I like this company. I heard their tech support is pretty awesome too!
 
There are some benefits to being colorblind.
 
I love their monitors, but I've always had issues with the audio delay, especially in field monitor applications. There is a fast mode that greatly improves this, but clients still complain. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a known fix or upgrade? Don't mean to hijack this positive post. They are really great monitors. Very happy with my purchase.
 
Cant say enough good things about Bram and Kris from FSI.
I have had multiple monitors from them and each firmware update adds tons of new useful features.
 
For me the embedded audio is always delayed by the same amount as the picture. I thought all SDI monitors have a small delay.
Never heard of fast mode, how do you do that? At least you can hear the audio. There is a longstanding bug with Epic and the popular Panasonics that makes the audio very distorted.
 
On set, the picture is a few ms delayed from real time -- so the actor you're hearing on set is a few ms out of sync with their picture--in fast mode. In normal mode its much worse.

Audio is always synced to picture if you monitor out of the built in mini jack output. Works great in a video village situation. In the edit suite I'm forced to use that mini jack instead of my Aja or blackmagic card which isn't the way I'd like to do it. Not an issue with other monitors. I'm not familiar with the Panasonic issue. Do you think the output coming out of epic is too hot? (I know...thank you mr obvious...)

Maybe I need to try one of these firmware upgrades. Again, I own two, one in the studio on one for field work. very consistent between the two, great off axis viewing, great calibration control and a really nice field package setup for our 17in.
 
Flanders support is top notch! Can't say enough about what they'll do of you.....had a shoot in Atlanta with a monitor damaged in shipping from LA, fixed it while a PA waited, back on set good as new in two hours!
 
The OLED options are still expensive. While I have no doubt the Flanders OLED will be good, I don't feel like re-investing again in 1920x1080. It's interesting they're releasing the OLED, for ages they had a page on their site shooting the technology down for manufacture defects and cost. Look like they may have solved the former but not the latter!

BTW - Own several different models and they are all awesome!

Just announced at IBC... looks nice and has a bunch of bells and whistles, at a price $13,500. I guess it's competing with the Sony BVM...

What is the persistence benchmark on this OLED, out of curiousity?

Many earlier models of AMOLED has a lot of motion blur, unless the pixels are strobed briefly (like a CRT). The Sony Trimaster PVM-2541 OLED creates about 7.5 milliseconds of motion blur from sample-and-hold effect (mathematically, that's equal to 7.5 pixels of motion blur during 1000 pixels/second motion). They have to keep OLED pixels lit for a long time (like long-persistence phosphor) to compensate for OLED's lack of brightness, so that creates more motion blurring.

Pixel response time (how long transitions take) is NOT the only cause of motion blur; it's also the pixel persistence (how long the same color value is lit for during a frame). That's why CRT has less motion blur than most typical LCD and AMOLED. It's well explained at Why Does OLED Have Motion Blur?, and contains excellent scientific references at the bottom. Instant-response 0ms displays can have motion blur, if the persistence is long.
