Vesa presents today displayhdr true black high dynamic range stantard for screens

The Mounting Interface Standard, known by its VESA acronym, today introduced a new DisplayHDR True Black High Dinamic Range Stantard (HDR) communication standard. This new standard has been necessary for the optimization of OLED displays and future MicroLED displays.

What does this new HDR standard provide us?

Well, among many of its innovations, it will provide us with higher image quality, something that of course is necessary when implementing a new standard. This DisplayHDR True Black will allow us deeper levels of blacks of up to 100x and a greater dynamic range of up to 4x, for something it is called True Black. Thanks to these new features, environments with lighting for games and movies in high resolution with black backgrounds will be much more realistic and with greater depth. In addition, it is also applicable to LCD and emissive screens.

VESA hopes that the adoption rate of this new DisplayHDR True Back standard will be implemented by the main manufacturers of OLED screens, in which the realism of colors in all dark is especially good, since this would further improve the performance of these.

Of course, on LCD screens, black is not really black, but a dark gray, and this is why the new standard could also be very useful for this type of screen to bring them closer to OLED features. You can reduce the black level to 0.0005 cd / m2, if we consider that an absolute black is 0 cd / m2, the realism would be really good and there would be hardly any light leaks.

Performance enhancement for ultrathin laptops

But it is not only applicable to desktop monitors, VESA has implemented new levels of DisplayHDR for ultra flat screen laptops. In addition to the existing DisplayHDR 1000 and 600, we also find a new level 500 with local dimming and lower luminance of these screens to avoid overheating of the image panel and, consequently, higher battery consumption. So it is ideal to extend the use of the battery.

Of course this is something that can be applied to all types of monitors that implement this new certification. We must always bear in mind that the greatest consumption of a laptop is that of the screen. So we hope that this new standard is welcomed in a good way by the manufacturers to improve the performance of all the monitors that are coming out. So, if you are thinking about acquiring a high-performance monitor, it may be worth waiting a little while for them to implement this new standard.
