Models offer lower prices by removing some advanced features

Flanders Scientific V & VP series monitors(1)

Flanders Scientific has launched seven new monitors for grading, editing, and creative workstations. 

The QD-OLED reference monitors are from two new series, the VP and V. They aim to offer lower prices when compared to other monitors by stripping out some advanced features such as onboard waveform and vectorscope, Look LUT support, Livegrade integration, processed SDI outputs, and the front-panel keypad, which some customers handle in other parts of their workflow. 

The VP series is designed for post houses, including SDI connectivity, and comes in 26.5-, 31.5-, 55-, and 65-inch sizes. 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 (£5,954), with savings of up to 30% compared with the equivalent XMP model from Flanders.

Meanwhile, the V series doesn’t include SDI connectivity. It comes in in 26.5-, 31.5-, and 55-inch sizes, these monitors feature HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4 inputs.

Applications include colour 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, and pricing starts at $5,995 (£4,465), up to 48% below the equivalent XMP model.

Both VP and V series monitors include GaiaColor AutoCal and GaiaColor Analyzer for calibration and performance verification, HDR and SDR LUM Coloring exposure tools, custom markers, and red-, green-, and blue-only viewing modes.

Peter Barber, managing director and CEO of Atomos, which acquired Flanders Scientific earlier this year, said: “Traditionally, the cost of high-end reference monitors has limited how widely they could be deployed across post-production facilities.

“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.”
