VESA launches new OLED HDR level DisplayHDR True Black 600
VESA has introduced a new HDR level DisplayHDR True Black 600 for OLED screens and displays, which has a 20% increase in peak brightness requirements compared to the old DisplayHDR True Black 500.
I believe everyone has some understanding of the different HDR levels of VESA. These HDR levels are divided into LCD screens and OLED screens. LCD screens have a total of DisplayHDR 400, 500, 600, 1000, and 1400 levels. And starting from the HDR500 level, the screen needs to have at least 2 backlight partitions. As for the OLED-oriented level, there are DisplayHDR True Black 400 and 500 before this.
This time the newly added DisplayHDR True Black 600 is not much different from the next-level True Black 500 in terms of overall requirements. The overall requirements for the newly added DisplayHDR True Black 600 are not much different from those of the next-level True Black 500, except that the peak brightness requirement has been increased from 500 nits to 600 nits, and there are no other new requirements.
The interesting point is that the first batch of devices certified by DisplayHDR True Black 600 is from Asus, including K3500PC, M3401Q, M3500Q, M7400QE, N7400PC, Vivobook Pro 14, 14X, and 15.
To achieve a good HDR effect, brightness and contrast are two very important factors. LCD, especially the current Mini LED backlight will dominate in terms of brightness. This is why there is a high-brightness standard such as DisplayHDR 1400, while OLED can achieve self-luminous pixels and display a pure black effect, so it can achieve a good HDR effect through ultra-high contrast.
