Optimized large 55-inch (diag.) screen for 4K color grading, with close color matching to the reference BVM-X300.
The PVM-X550 55-inch* 4K OLED picture monitor offers a large 3840 x 2160 pixels high grade picture for critical monitoring performance. This high performance TRIMASTER EL™ OLED monitor provides professional quality black performance, color reproduction, quick pixel response and accurate signal processing. Quad view display allows individual settings for each display. In addition, the PVM-X550 features High Dynamic Range display and a wide color gamut supporting DCI-P3 and most of the ITU-R BT.2020 standard. The monitor’s thin bezel edges and light weight make it ideal for wall mounting and as a companion client monitor to the BVM-X300 for color grading and quality control.
* 55-inch viewable area, measured diagonally.
HDR Peak Luminance is over 180% higher than firmware version 1.1. Accuracy of brightness and saturation is carefully controlled by the Sony-designed 12-bit engine for OLED, as used in BVM series and PVM-X550 monitors.
* Supported with V2.0
Freely set up to two area markers on screen, with adjustable line color and thickness.
* Supported with V2.0
LTC and VITC time code can be displayed at the top or bottom of the picture.
* Supported with V2.0
In addition to the intrinsic high-contrast performance of the TRIMASTER EL™ OLED panel, the PVM-X550 provides High Dynamic Range display. This offers never-seen-before image reproduction — the black is black, and peak brightness can be reproduced more realistically with colors that are typically saturated in a conventional standard dynamic range. This mode can brilliantly express sparkling city lights and stars in the night sky.
The PVM-X550 supports industry‑leading wide color gamuts, including DCI‑P3 and ITU‑R BT.2020 color spaces*. S‑GAMUT3.cine and S‑GAMUT3 color gamuts are also supported to achieve coherent cinematography production workflow with Sony’s 4K cinematography cameras. A gamut marker is valuable for wide color video production. You can check what colors are outside of the ITU-R BT.709 or DCI-P3 in the ITU-R BT.2020.
* The PVM-X550 does not conform to DCI-P3 or the BT.2020 color space in full.
This picture monitor supports both 2 Sample Interleave (2SI) and Square Division signals. It also supports 3G/HD-SDI single link and dual link for HD signals, and also 3G-SDI dual link for 4K/30p, 25p and 24p.
Sony PVM-X550 provides a superior viewing angle performance compared with other flat panel reference monitors available on the market. This makes it easier to evaluate picture performance with a few viewers to see the same colors and contrast.
A key benefit of TRIMASTER EL technology is its unique ability to turn each pixel completely off. TRIMASTER EL is capable of reproducing accurate black with each individual pixel, enabling users to evaluate images faithfully to the original signal.
The PVM-X550 supports conventional 2.2, 2.4, 2.6, and CRT gamma. In addition, HDR (High Dynamic Range) EOTF tables are provided for 2.4 (HDR), S-Log3 (HDR), S-Log2 (HDR), SMPTE ST.2084 (HDR), S-Log3 (Live HDR), and ITU-R BT.2100 (HLG).
The PVM-X550 can display formats including 4K, 2K, UHD, and HD at various frame rates.
