VESA Announces That The DisplayHDR 2000 Certification Does Not Exist
Both the Samsung Odyssey G9 and Acer EL491CRG9 were thought to have the VESA DisplayHDR 2000 certification as seen on Taobao listings. The Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) has come out and said that such monitors could not possibly have a VESA DisplayHDR 2000 certification since it does not exist.
The Samsung Odyssey G9 and Acer EL491CRG9 were both 49-inch curved ultrawide monitors with a peak brightness of 2000 nits (cd/m2) and MiniLED backlighting with 2048 local dimming zones. With those specifications, the monitors would fall under the DisplayHDR 2000 certification if it existed. These monitors will most likely have the DisplayHDR 1400 certification.
HDR = high dynamic range. Nits are a unit of luminance (subjectively perceived as brightness). The DisplayHDR standards guarantee minimum levels of peak luminance that can be outputted by an HDR-capable display.
I'm waiting for DisplayHDR 10000.
