FSI DM220 Calibration Overview

The FSI DM220 is a high-contrast 22-inch OLED monitor from Flanders Scientific designed for color-critical production and post-production applications. It features a Full HD (1920x1080) resolution and utilizes a true 10-bit OLED panel, delivering deep blacks and vibrant colors. The monitor utilizes full 12-bit video processing, enhancing its precision in color grading and post-production tasks.

The FSI DM220 display is a popular entry level choice into the professional display market, used by directors, boutique colorists, and DITs working with SDR content.

Below is an overview of the display's performance before and after professional FSI DM220 calibration .
The display was calibrated using the CMS controls first, followed by a full 3D LUT calibration with the LUT then uploaded to the internal LUT storage of the FSI DM220.

Equipment, software and target used in the calibration:

  • Calibration software: DCM
  • Colorimeter: CR-100
  • Spectro: CR-300
  • Patch generator: DaVinci Resolve, SDI out
  • Calibration target: Rec 709 D65 G2.4 115 nits (SDR)

Native Gamut

This is the native gamut (before calibration) of the FSI DM220 compared to the Rec 709 color space calibration target. The display's native gamut fully covers the target color space, making it ideal for accurate display calibration.

White Point

This is a close-up of the native white point (before calibration) compared to the calibration target of D65, the display white point is on target. The display bias/gain CMS controls were used to calibrate the Greyscale and white point as good as possible before the LUT calibration.

RGB Balance

This is the Greyscale RGB balance before 3D LUT calibration, it was manually calibrated using the CMS controls.

EOTF: Gamma

This is the native gamma and luminance response of the FSI DM220. The reference line is configured for the calibration target G2.4. The display in its default native state is not too far from target.

Calibration

After display preparation and configuration, a large display profile is run to create a detailed characterization of the display. From that profile data, a 3D LUT is then generated by DCT and uploaded into the display.

Gamut & White Point (post)

Gamut (post calibration) compared to the Rec 709 D65 target - both color space and white point are on target.

This is the Greyscale RGB balance post-calibration, further improved.

EOTF: Gamma (post)

This is the gamma and luminance response of the FSI DM220 after calibration compared to the reference calibration target G2.4. A noticeable improvement, the display tracks the reference closely.

Color Error: delta E 2000 (post)

These are the dE 2000 stats post calibration for a 1,100 point stress test validation profile. With an average dE 2000 color error of only 0.88, the FSI DM220 now performs very well given that the JND (just noticeable difference) for human vision is set at a dE 2000 value of 2.3.
