VESA: DisplayHDR 2000 certificate for monitors does not exist yet
The Video Electronics Standards Association says there is no DisplayHDR 2000 certification for monitors yet. The organization thus responds to reports about monitors from Samsung and Acer, which, according to a Chinese site, have such a certificate.
The VESA has no idea where the DisplayHDR 2000 logos used come from. The organization also emphasizes on its website that it takes the abuse of its logos seriously. The use of a DisplayHDR 2000 logo is not permitted until such certification has been announced and products that would comply are actually certified.
In recent weeks, information has come out about the new version of Samsung’s Odyssey G9 monitor with mini LED backlight and a comparable model from Acer, the EI491CRG9. According to the specifications, both 49″ monitors have a maximum brightness of 2000cd/m². The Chinese web store Taobao also placed a DisplayHDR 2000 logo and websites including VideoCardz wrote about it.
It is not inconceivable that the VESA will come with a DisplayHDR 2000 certification. The highest attainable certificate is currently DisplayHDR 1400. Even if monitors achieve a higher maximum brightness, they would therefore receive that certificate. To qualify for a DisplayHDR certificate, monitors must meet more conditions than achieving a certain maximum brightness. There are requirements with regard to color rendering, the number of zones and the speed with which the lighting of the screen can be adjusted.
