SEETEC FS215-S4K 21.5 inch – Full HD Broadcast Monitor with 4K HDMI Input/Loop-Out

The SEETEC FS215-S4K is a 21.5" Full HD broadcast studio monitor that supports 4K HDMI input and loop-out. It delivers reliable, high-stability monitoring designed for broadcast control rooms, transfer facilities, TV news production and production editing areas. Use it on set or in the facility when consistent broadcast-quality monitoring is required.

Clear Full HD Picture and Accurate Color

The FS215-S4K displays Full HD 1920x1080 resolution and shows 16.7 million colors for detailed, vibrant images. You can inspect fine detail during pre-production and post-production because the monitor reproduces images at broadcast quality. In short, what you see on the screen closely matches the recorded image.

Professional Color Calibration and Rec.709

SEETEC implements the Rec.709 HD color standard and performs factory color calibration using professional instruments. As a result, the monitor provides accurate color reproduction and minimizes color distortion. This consistent, calibrated color helps you evaluate image quality across different input video signals.

Wide Viewing Angle and Precise Color Restoration

The IPS panel provides a 178° viewing angle so images remain consistent from different perspectives. The wide color gamut LCD panel supports precise color restoration and richer color levels. In practical terms, the display avoids brightened dots and streaking, letting teams view the same image reliably from multiple positions.
