Flanders Scientific new QD-OLED monitors undercut the flagship XMP by up to 48%

Flanders Scientific's new VP and V Series bring seven new QD-OLED reference monitors from $5995, dropping XMP's onboard scopes and Look tools to cut costs.

Flanders Scientific (FSI) has introduced seven QD-OLED reference monitors across two new series, the VP and V. Both begin shipping in November 2026 and mark the first new monitors since Atomos bought the company in April 2026. Everyone expected Atomos to widen FSI's offering beyond its core high-end market, and the result is the start of a new monitoring ecosystem that can extend throughout a facility.

Effectively, they are cut-down versions of the company's existing high-end XMP range. They use the same QD-OLED panels, color technology, and GaiaColor calibration and analyzer capabilities as their XMP cousins, but they exclude onboard waveform and vectorscope, Look LUT support, and Livegrade integration from the XMP C, and processed SDI outputs and the front-panel keypad from the flagship XMP itself.

FSI reasons that these functions are often handled elsewhere in the workflow. The VP Series has been designed for the post market, where accurate monitoring and SDI connectivity are essential, but scopes and look management may already be offloaded elsewhere. The V Series cuts things back even further, removing SDI connectivity as well. The result is a series of monitors that can be close to half the cost of the all-singing, all-dancing XMP equivalent.

A facility can run XMP or VP units in its primary grading suites and V Series units in complementary rooms that don't need SDI, such as VFX, editorial, or audio post.

The VP Series is available in 26.5-, 31.5-, 55-, and 65-inch sizes. Each has four 12G-SDI inputs with clean SDI outputs, plus HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4. Quad-view monitoring supports independent color configuration for each input. The series also supports 120 Hz refresh and stereo 3D with an optional active-glasses system.

The V Series is FSI's lowest-priced QD-OLED reference monitor range, with no SDI connectivity. It is available in 26.5-, 31.5-, and 55-inch sizes with HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4 inputs.

Both series include GaiaColor AutoCal and GaiaColor Analyzer, HDR and SDR LUM Coloring exposure tools, custom markers, and red-, green-, and blue-only viewing modes.

VP Series pricing starts at $7995, up to 30% below the equivalent XMP model. V Series pricing starts at $5995, up to 48% below the equivalent XMP model. Both ship this month and the table below shows the comparison with the XMP range.
