VESA has announced the first version of their DisplayHDR specification, a new open standard for defining LCD high dynamic range (HDR) performance. The goal is to help monitor and system vendors display and promote the HDR capabilities of their displays and laptops according to one of three different tiers.



The specification establishes three HDR performance levels for PC displays: baseline (DisplayHDR 400), mid-range (DisplayHDR 600), and high-end (DisplayHDR 1000). These levels are established and certified using eight specific parameter requirements and associated tests, which include peak luminance, bit-depth, and HDR response performance tests.
