Day 15: 24 Insights In 24 Days – 2020 New Year Marathon!
An update on the state of professional displays in the year 2020
Every few years we like to get a review on the state of display technology. Our go-to person for this discussion is Flanders Scientific’s Bram Desmet. Bram has the unique skill of taking a complicated, and sometimes obtuse, discussion and simplifying it so that the rest of us can understand. In this Mixing Light Special Edition Podcast, I have Bram break down the technology of professional displays.
First, we discuss the first-time professional display buyer: What are their choices? What are the tradeoffs between their choices? Of course, Bram (understandably) doesn’t like commenting directly on his competitors so I use his product lineup as the springboard throughout this interview. The FSI display lineup has dramatically expanded from 6 years ago, up and down a full range of price points.
Next, we discuss professional High Dynamic Range LCD display technology. Bram offers his opinion of who’s the right type of professional for these uber-expensive displays and what are the tradeoffs between them?
In this conversation We Talk about:
- The key differences between consumer and professional displays
- The difference calibrating consumer and professional displays
- Are you fooling yourself by buying a less expensive professional display (for color grading)?
- The state of 8-bit, 8-bit plus FRC, 10-bit, and 12-bit displays
- What’s going on with OS-level color management and why do we need 3rd party break-out boxes?
- What are the different types of LCD panels being used in professional displays in the sub-$6,000 range?
- Advantages and drawbacks of RGB LED backlights
- Advantages and drawbacks of White LED backlights
- The different flavors of OLED technology
- The impact of ‘zone count’ on Zoned Backlight LCDs
- The trade-off in getting a display to 3,000 nits – and the advantages
- Fundamentals of Light Modulated Cell Layer LCD / Dual Layer LCD
- First impressions of a 15,000 zone backlight
- Are smaller, high-quality panels being mass-produced?
- Why are HDR displays so expensive and what are the technologies the FSI uses in its product line?
- What is FSI delivering at NAB 2020???
- What future-tech display technology is Bram keeping an eye on? What past tech are we sad that went away?
