VESA Introduces New DisplayHDR and ClearMR Certification Tiers for Next-Gen Monitors
The updated standards include DisplayHDR True Black 1000 for brighter OLED displays and ClearMR 21000 for improved motion clarity, with certified products expected to debut at CES 2025.
- VESA has announced new certification tiers for its DisplayHDR True Black and ClearMR standards, aimed at enhancing HDR brightness and motion clarity in monitors.
- The DisplayHDR True Black 1000 standard sets a new benchmark for OLED displays, requiring peak brightness of 1000 nits while maintaining low black levels and stringent full-screen brightness criteria.
- Three new ClearMR tiers—15000, 18000, and 21000—have been introduced to quantify motion clarity, with ClearMR 21000 representing 195 times more clear pixels than blurred pixels.
- Major manufacturers like LG, Samsung, Gigabyte, and MSI are expected to showcase monitors using these updated standards at CES 2025, including LG's new UltraGear OLED 27GX790A.
- These advancements are seen as significant for gaming and content creation, addressing previous limitations in OLED brightness and motion performance.
