New Levels of Performance for HDR Displays

With the increasing availability of HDR content, the DisplayHDR and DisplayHDR True Black specifications from VESA provide an important benefit to the display industry and consumers. The DisplayHDR and DisplayHDR True Black specifications assure that HDR content will appear vivid and life-like, with accurate color and contrast reproduction. Consumers should look for VESA tested and certified DisplayHDR or DisplayHDR True Black products. VESA’s multi-tiered performance ratings and logo system for DisplayHDR and DisplayHDR True Black represent visible, meaningful performance levels relevant to specific applications and usage scenarios.

Choose Certified DisplayHDR Products

DisplayHDR is the open standard for HDR quality and performance and only displays that meet all the specifications may carry the DisplayHDR logo.

If a monitor claims HDR support without a DisplayHDR performance specification, or refers to pseudo-specs like “HDR-400” instead of “DisplayHDR 400” it’s likely that the product does not meet the certification requirements. Consumers can refer to the current list of certified DisplayHDR products on this website to verify certification.

VESA Addresses Use of Illegitimate DisplayHDR 2000 Logo: Recently, the Chinese retail website Taobao has listed two display products that have a VESA certified “DisplayHDR 2000” logo – an updated Samsung Odyssey G9 monitor as well as a new Acer EI491CRG9 monitor. In addition, several media outlets have reported that these monitors have received “DisplayHDR 2000” certification from the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA). VESA wishes to set the record straight on this development. There is no “DisplayHDR 2000” tier in the VESA DisplayHDR specification and logo program at this time.

VESA has no knowledge of the origins of the DisplayHDR 2000 logo currently posted on these display listings on the Taobao website. However, VESA takes any misuse of our trademarks and logos seriously. VESA does not endorse the use of this logo unless and until a DisplayHDR 2000 tier has been officially announced by VESA, and any products claiming to meet this tier level have been officially certified by VESA and are listed on our website at https://displayhdr.org/certified-products/.

Until the displayhdr.org website displays DisplayHDR 2000, any such logo usage should be assumed to be unapproved and deceptive.

DisplayHDR Performance Levels

The DisplayHDR specification for LCDs establishes distinct levels of HDR system performance for LCD and emissive (e.g. OLED) displays. Choose a performance tier to discover the differences.

First genuine entry point for HDR.

Significant step up from SDR baseline:

True 8-bit image quality – on par with top 15% of PC displays today
Global dimming – improves dynamic contrast ratio
Peak luminance of 400 cd/m² – up to 50% higher than typical SDR
Minimum requirements for color gamut and contrast exceed SDR

HDR with local dimming, for thinner, lower-cost, lower-power laptops and monitors.

True local dimming and high-contrast HDR at the lowest price point and thermal impact:

Peak luminance of 500 cd/m² – optimized for better thermal control in super-thin notebook displays
Same color gamut, black level and bit-depth requirements associated with DisplayHDR 600 and DisplayHDR 1000 levels
Includes local dimming
Requires 10-bit image processing

Targets professional/enthusiast-level laptops and high-performance monitors.

True high-contrast HDR with notable specular highlights:

Peak luminance of 600 cd/m² – double that of typical displays
- Full-screen flash requirement renders realistic effects in gaming and movies
Real-time contrast ratios with local dimming – yields impressive highlights and deep blacks
Visible increase in color gamut compared to already improved DisplayHDR 400
Requires 10-bit image processing

Targets professional/enthusiast/content-creator PC monitors.

Outstanding local-dimming, high-contrast HDR with advanced specular highlights:

Peak luminance of 1000 cd/m² – more than 3x that of typical displays
- Full-screen flash requirement delivers ultrarealistic effects in gaming and movies
- Unprecedented long duration, high performance ideal for content creation
Local dimming yields 2x contrast increase over DisplayHDR 600
Significantly visible increase in color gamut compared to DisplayHDR 400
Requires 10-bit image processing

PC monitors for professional content-creators.

Outstanding local-dimming, high-contrast HDR with advanced specular highlights:

Peak luminance of 1400 cd/m² – more than 4x that of typical displays
- Full-screen flash requirement delivers ultrarealistic effects in gaming and movies
- Unprecedented long duration, high performance ideal for content creation
Dynamic contrast ratio that is 3.5X greater than the DisplayHDR 1000 level
Increased color gamut (95% DCI-P3 65) compared to all other current DisplayHDR tiers

Incredibly accurate shadow detail for a remarkable visual experience.

Deeper black levels and dramatic increases in dynamic range create a remarkable visual experience:

Peak luminance of 400 cd/m²
Brings permissible black level down to 0.0005 cd/m²– the lowest level that can be effectively measured with industry-standard colorimeters
Provides up to 50X greater dynamic range and 4X improvement in rise time compared to DisplayHDR 1000

Technical Introduction

NewDisplayHDR 1.1 released. See the press releasehere. Get DisplayHDR 1.1here.

The DisplayHDR specification for LCDs establishes distinct levels of HDR system performance to facilitate adoption of HDR throughout the PC market: DisplayHDR 400, DisplayHDR 500, DisplayHDR 600, DisplayHDR 1000, and DisplayHDR 1400. The DisplayHDR True Black specification for OLED and other emissive displays includes two levels of HDR system performance: DisplayHDR True Black 400 and DisplayHDR True Black 500. Additional tiers are expected to be added later for both standards to support continuous innovations and improvements in display performance. All tiers require support of the industry standard HDR10 format.
