VESA Adds DisplayHDR 600 True Black Tier
DisplayHDR 600 one of three 'True Black' certifications, and it is exclusive to emissive technologies, i.e., OLEDs and MicroLEDs. A little over four years ago, VESA introduced its DisplayHDR program in an attempt to cut through the HDR chaos, which consisted of three tiers—DisplayHDR 400 (baseline), DisplayHDR 600 (mid-range), and DisplayHDR 1000 (high-end). Various criteria exist for each one, including luminance, arguably the most important aspect. A monitor or laptop display with a DisplayHDR 1000 badge must be capable of emitting 1,000 nits’ peak brightness. Over time, VESA has gone on to add more tiers, including DisplayHDR 500 and DisplayHDR 1400. And in January 2019, VESA introduced a True Black range consisting of DisplayHDR 400 True Black and DisplayHDR 500 True Black. These variants are specifically intended for OLED and MicroLED displays, which are capable of much deeper black levels than LCD.
Now two and a half years later, VESA has added a DisplayHDR 600 True Black tier, which increases the peak luminance requirement to 600 nits. Everything else remains the same within the True Black range, including low maximum black level luminance of just 0.0005 nits. "DisplayHDR True Black allows for up to 100X deeper black levels in addition to a greater dynamic range and a 4X improvement in rise time compared to VESA’s DisplayHDR 1000 performance tier. "The new DisplayHDR True Black 600 level requires a 20 percent increase in luminance compared to the True Black 500 level, which results in a noticeably brighter screen while maintaining the same outstanding black level and color quality typified in OLED displays."
ASUS is the first (and so far, only) manufacturer to offer products meeting the new DisplayHDR 600 True Black certification level.
