Some improvements at least, even if minor. The original DisplayHDR spec was crazy easy to cheat with even 6 edge lit zones due to the garbage white box/black background test, when even most reviewers moved to checkerboard patterns long ago. The most recent edge lit DisplayHDR 1000 monitor I could find was the LG 32GQ950 from mid 2022, which retailed for $1300 and only had 2x16 edge lit zones, which means the dimming is basically useless in 99% of content due to blooming.
You can always check the VESA database if you want the full details. But 1.0 certification ended in 2020, and 1.1 certification will end in 2025. Meanwhile, monitor manufacturers don't typically keep a given model around for more than a few years.
No change to OLED certifications? Albeit it seems OLED VESA certification is kinda useless since the only differences is minimum peak luminance which AFAIK even TrueBlack600 is already left behind by 2023 LG and Samsung panels.
The luminance and contrast ratio rules haven't changed. But True Black displays still must clear all of the new tests for color accuracy and white point accuracy, as well as things like black crush.
Well... it is an improvement. I would like a test where also the stars would be measured for peak brightness, or that there would be stars with 100 nit, 200 nit, 300 nit... 10000 nit So that we would really see what the screen is capable.

And how do we know if a "HDRx00" display is meeting 1.0, 1.1 or 1.2 levels? Just the classic case of "if it doesn't say, assume it's the worst one"?Ryan Smith - Tuesday, May 7, 2024 - link
