VESA Bows DisplayHDR V1.1 Update, Touting ‘Tighter’ Luminance, Color Rules

“Tighter” performance requirements for luminance and color gamut, plus new compliance-test mandates for active dimming, are included in the DisplayHDR specification’s Version 1.1 update, said the Video Electronics Standards Association Wednesday. Companies can begin certifying their products for the V1.1 spec immediately, said VESA. It also will allow V1.0 certifications to continue through May to account for products “already in development,” it said. VESA also added a new “1400 performance level” to the DisplayHDR standard, targeting professional content creators, it said. The new level requires a dynamic contrast ratio that’s 3.5 times greater than the existing 1000 level, it said.
