Designed for professionals who need accurate, dependable images without the full onboard toolset of FSI’s flagship XMP monitors, the new models make professional HDR and SDR reference monitoring more accessible.
Flanders announced that both 2 new series, the VP and V. begin shipping this month. The new monitors use the same QD-OLED panels, color technology, and GaiaColor calibration and analyzer capabilities as their corresponding XMP models, but come with lower prices, thanks to the exclusion of advanced features such as onboard waveform and vectorscope, Look LUT support, Livegrade integration, processed SDI outputs, and the front-panel keypad.
According to Flanders, the “seven new models bring XMP image quality to more grading suites, editing rooms, and creative workstations at substantially lower prices” which is ideal, the company says, “for customers who handle those functions elsewhere in their workflow”. Flanders notes that “the VP Series was designed with the post house in mind, where accurate monitoring and professional SDI connectivity are essential, but scopes and look management may already be handled by dedicated hardware or software.
“Traditionally, the cost of high-end reference monitors has limited how widely they could be deployed across post-production facilities,” said Peter Barber, Managing Director and CEO of Atomos. “By offering the same exceptional image quality, colour accuracy and calibration capabilities at a more accessible price point, we are making it possible for customers to equip more workstations, more editing suites and more production environments with professional reference monitoring.”
Available in 26.5-, 31.5-, 55-, and 65-inch sizes, VP monitors feature four 12G-SDI inputs with clean SDI outputs, alongside HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4. Quad-view monitoring supports independent color configuration for each input, allowing users to view multiple sources on one display. The new platform also supports 120 Hz refresh and stereo 3D with an optional active-glasses system.
VP Series pricing starts at $7,995 USD, with savings of up to 30% compared with the equivalent XMP model. The V Series pricing starts at $5,995 USD, up to 48% below the equivalent XMP model. The V Series offers FSI’s lowest-priced entry into QD-OLED reference monitoring for customers who do not require SDI connectivity. Available in 26.5-, 31.5-, and 55-inch sizes, these monitors feature HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4 inputs.
Applications include color grading over HDMI or DisplayPort, editorial, VFX, animation, game development, and audio post. A facility can use XMP or VP monitors in its primary grading suites and V Series monitors in complementary rooms, bringing consistent reference image quality to more of the production process.
The VP and V Series expand FSI’s existing lineup. XMP and XMP C monitors remain in full production for customers who need their advanced onboard tools, with the flagship XMP Series providing processed SDI outputs and direct front-panel keypad access.
