To cope with faster and brighter screens, VESA has added DisplayHDR 1000 True Black and ClearMR 15000/18000/21000 certifications

With the improvement of materials, the problem of insufficient brightness of OLED screens has gradually improved, and the response speed is beyond the reach of LCD screens. This has also led VESA to decide to launch new DisplayHDR and ClearMR certification standards, adding high-brightness OLED panels and ultra-high brightness OLED panels. High refresh rate panel design with DisplayHDR 1000 True Black and ClearMR 15000, 18000, 21000 certification standards.

VESA’s new DisplayHDR 1000 True Black is currently mainly designed for OLED. It is required that the maximum brightness can reach 1000 nits under 8% pure white screen. However, considering the ABL mechanism of OLED, large areas of white screen will reduce the brightness. To protect the panel, the specification requires that the minimum brightness of a 100% picture should not be less than 500 nits and must be maintained for a long time.

In addition, in order to cope with the response time of OLED screens of 0.02 – 0.03 ms and to support increasingly higher update rates, the ClearMR certification of image clarity adds three levels of ClearMR 15000, 18000 and 21000 to the existing ClearMR 13000. The larger the number, the lower the image blur and the fewer afterimages.

At present, LG’s gaming screen UltraGear OLED 27GX790A has been confirmed to have passed ClearMR 21000 certification, becoming the industry’s first product to meet the standard. The product uses a 27-inch 2560 x 1440 resolution WOLED panel and has a maximum refresh rate of 480 Hz.

As for DisplayHDR 1000 True Black, no products supporting DisplayHDR 1000 True Black are yet on the market. Considering that OLED gaming screens at this stage can only pass DisplayHDR 400 True Black, and only a very small number of notebook products have the ability to pass the once highest standard of DisplayHDR 600 True Black certification, it is speculated that It may take some time for everyone to buy an OLED gaming screen with ultra-high brightness.
