Samsung D QD-OLED Selected for UK's 'Finish Line' Premium Studio

Global Content Production Partners Including Netflix, BBC, and Disney+

Samsung Display announced on the 29th that a monitor equipped with QD-OLED technology has been selected for the premium studio operated by 'Finish Line,' a post-production specialist company located in London, UK.

Finish Line is a post-production specialist responsible for the post-processing of content producers and broadcasters. It has many video technology and color experts certified by Dolby, a sound and video specialist company, and participates in content production for renowned global companies such as Netflix, Disney+, and BBC Studios.

Recently, Finish Line adopted the QD-OLED reference monitor 'XMP550' from FSI (Flanders Scientific Inc.), a global broadcast equipment market company, for its premium studio dedicated to post-production. The 'XMP550' is a reference monitor introduced last year by FSI, equipped with Samsung Display's 55-inch QD-OLED, and has been recognized for its outstanding performance by film and broadcast professionals in relation to 'Color Grading' work, which involves editing the color tone of videos. In fact, the 'XMP550' has also won awards at the Hollywood Professional Association (HPA) and CINE Gear.

Zeb Chadfield, founder of Finish Line, evaluated, "The XMP550 is an undisputed top display with excellent luminance, viewing angle, and shadow expression, and rich color volume without color fading."

QD-OLED combines the excellent black expression of existing OLEDs with the characteristics of quantum dots, enabling richer color expression and distortion-free image quality from any angle. This effectively supports the most important performance for video and broadcast professionals who need to accurately check the original colors of content and finely adjust editing effects.

Existing reference monitors have mainly adopted high-spec LCDs. However, as self-emissive technologies like QD-OLED have established themselves as premium technologies in the large display market, interest in QD-OLED is increasing in the reference monitor market as well. In fact, FSI added 31.5-inch and 65-inch QD-OLED lineups this year following the launch of the 'XMP550' last year.

Samsung Display plans to lead the OLED trend in the broadcast reference monitor market. Yongwook Jung, Head of Strategy Marketing Team at Samsung Display’s Large Business Division (Executive Director), said, "With FSI’s XMP550 deployed in Finish Line’s premium studio, the overwhelming color reproduction of QD-OLED has been proven once again. We will continue to differentiate image quality with monitors of even higher resolution and expand our position in the professional market for content production."
