The VP551 is a 4000nit capable 55" QD-OLED HDR reference monitor built around the same premium panel technology as our flagship XMP551. Featuring four 12G-SDI inputs with clean outputs, the VP551 is designed for professional video workflows that require robust SDI connectivity while offering a more accessible alternative to our XMP Series monitors.

While streamlined compared to the XMP Series, the VP551 retains the core FSI monitoring experience, including GaiaColor AutoCal and a wide range of professional tools, making it an ideal choice for production, post-production, broadcast, and other applications where waveform, vector scope, look LUTs, and LiveGrade integration are either not required or being managed by separate equipment.

With an astonishing 4,000nits peak luminance capability and 8,000,000:1 contrast the VP551 qualifies as Dolby Vision Mastering monitoring. Delivering true reference grade performance and professional connectivity in a form factor large enough for both the colorist and clients to view, the VP551 opens up many exciting possibilities including the option to build single monitor viewing rooms instead of needing to rely on separate mastering and client monitors.

55"" QD-OLED HDR Mastering Monitor

The VP551 is a 55"" UHD resolution HDR and SDR reference mastering monitor built around a groundbreaking new QD-OLED panel featuring 4000nits peak luminance, ~8,000,000:1 contrast, and our widest color gamut to date.

  • AutoCal

    All FSI monitors come pre-calibrated from the factory and the VP551 also features highly accurate volumetric Auto Calibration making it incredibly easy for clients to recalibrate the display over time.

  • Third Party Calibration

    The VP551 is also compatible with popular 3rd party calibration solutions including Calman and ColourSpace. Quickly and easily perform your own custom 3D+1D LUT based calibration with any program capable of saving into FSI’s calibration LUT formats.

  • Advanced Tetrahedral LUT Processing

    The VP551 utilizes advanced tetrahedral LUT interpolation delivering a higher degree of precision with better on screen performance than simple trilinear LUT interpolation.

  • 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.

  • Exceptional Off-Axis Viewing

    The VP551 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 VP551’s accurate per pixel level luminance control means true black levels at all times with none of the small bright objection or motion artifact limitations found on FALD (Full Array Local Dimming) LCDs. The per pixel emissive design of the VP551’s QD-OLED panel guarantees exceptional simultaneous contrast with all varieties of content.

    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 VP551’s QD-OLED panel on the other hand can render these types of very bright white highlights while maintaining the intended deep black background.

  • 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 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 VP551 features class leading simultaneous contrast rendering both bright highlights and dark lowlights with incredible clarity and accuracy at the same time.
