Flanders Scientific has announced its new DM242 monitor which is well-suited for fast-paced and color-critical applications in production, post-production, and broadcast environments. It features 63% higher contrast than the DM241 and what Flanders Scientific is stating as unmatched versatility.
The DM242 is a 24″ 1920 x 1080 with an 1800:1 contrast ratio, 400nits of brightness, and a Wide Gamut W-LED backlight.
The DM242 is a successor to the DM240 and DM241 monitors. It features a true 10-bit panel, the ability to warmup and stabilize almost instantaneously, and a durable all-metal chassis.
Color Management
FSI’s 3rd generation Color Fidelity and LUT Interpolation Engine (CFE3) houses a multitude of calibration and Look LUT memories for highly accurate color reproduction and effective look management. Instantly select from Rec709, EBU, SMPTE-C, DCI P3, Rec2020 Emulation*, Native Wide Gamut, and Custom User Generated color spaces.
*Does not fully cover Rec2020 color space.
Additional gamma, peak luminance, and color temperature toggles further add to the versatility of DM Series Monitors.
DM series monitors support video range, extended range, and full range monitoring with simple menu-based toggles.
CFE3 features tetrahedral LUT interpolation for greater accuracy and visual performance than hardware utilizing trilinear LUT interpolation.
Calibration
FSI monitors come pre-calibrated from the factory and all DM series monitors support highly accurate volumetric Auto Calibration for recalibration over time.
Third-Party Calibration
DM series monitors are also fully compatible with popular 3rd party calibration solutions including Calman, LightSpace, and ColourSpace. Quickly and easily perform your own custom 3D LUT based calibration with any program capable of saving into FSI’s calibration LUT format.
