FSI XMP310 HDR Calibration Overview

The FSI XMP310 is a 31.5-inch UHD (3840x2160) HDR/SDR reference monitor from Flanders Scientific designed for high-end color grading, mastering, and broadcast applications. It features a 10-bit Quantum Dot OLED (QD-OLED) panel, capable of displaying over 1.073 billion colors. The monitor supports input signals up to 12-bit 4:4:4 at 4K resolution, ensuring compatibility with high-bit-depth content.

The FSI XMP310 is a high-end choice in the professional display market, ideal for color suites that require a Grade A display for HDR and SDR content.

Below is an overview of the display's performance in HDR before and after professional FSI XMP310 HDR calibration .
As of 2024, the display is reference grade in HDR after calibration.
This overview complements the FSI XMP SDR Calibration Overview and Result .

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: P3 D65 PQ 1000 nits (HDR)

Native Gamut

This is the native gamut (before calibration) of the FSI XMP310 compared to the P3 color space calibration target. The display's native gamut covers the target color space efficiently, making it suitable 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. It shows slight deviation from target and a red tint. The display has bias/gain CMS controls to manually adjust lower/upper Greyscale, if desired.

RGB Balance

This is the Greyscale RGB balance before calibration, it has a red tint.

EOTF: PQ

This is the native luminance response of the FSI XMP310 in HDR. The reference line is configured for the PQ calibration target. In its default native state, the display is too dark.

Spectrum Analysis

This is the spectrum of the FSI XMP310 in native gamut for full white, with the red, green and blue primaries spectral output overlaid to identify color channel issues. The R, G, B color channels closely match the white response, this is ideal and one of the key advantages in HDR of QD-OLED over WOLED.

Calibration

After display preparation and configuration, the display is then calibrated for HDR.

Gamut & White Point (post)

Gamut (post calibration) compared to the P3 D65 target - both color space and white point are on target.

RGB Balance (post)

This is the Greyscale RGB balance post-calibration, excellent.

EOTF: PQ (post)

This is the PQ and luminance response of the FSI XMP310 after calibration compared to the PQ reference calibration target. The display now tracks the reference very closely.

Color Error: delta E ITP (post)

These are the dE ITP (and dE 2000) stats post calibration of the FSI XMP310 for a dedicated validation patch set of crucial skin tones and memory colors. We are using a very strict ITP 720 scalar here, the average color error of 0.88 is an excellent result in HDR. An ITP 240 scalar would bring the avg color error down to 0.29. The dE 2000 stats are for additional context, they are more relevant in SDR.
