Samsung’s QLED Gaming Monitor Industry’s First To Achieve VESA DisplayHDR™ Certification
Since its
launch in August, Samsung’s CHG90
– the world’s largest QLED gaming monitor – has emerged as an industry
innovator and pioneer. The monitor’s leadership position recently received
further validation from the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA),
who, following a rigorous testing procedure, confirmed that the CHG90 (along
with the CHG70) exemplifies its DisplayHDR™ 600 performance standards and is
the industry’s first display to be certified as DisplayHDR™ compliant.
Up until
recently, there had been no standard specification for the HDR performance of
PC monitors and laptop computer displays. But earlier this year, VESA, an
international non-profit that sets and supports industry-wide interface
standards for displays, established the DisplayHDR™
standard. The fully open standard specifies HDR quality, including
luminance, color gamut, bit depth and rise time. It consists of three levels
(DisplayHDR™ 400, 600, 1000); specifically, the DisplayHDR™ 600 tier indicates
that HDR content can be enjoyed in bright indoor lighting conditions.
When
granting DisplayHDR™ 600 certification to the CHG90, VESA cited the monitor’s
use of HDR to elevate contrast ratio (3,000:1), color accuracy and overall
presentation vibrancy as an industry standard-setter. The certification further
validates the CHG90’s ability to provide the optimal gaming and entertainment
viewing environment, but is just the latest in a series of recent accolades for
the monitor.
Several
global technology media outlets and organizations have commemorated the
display’s performance and presentation. Among them include Trusted
Reviews’ Best Monitor of 2017 Award, which recognizes the “year’s
best technologies, gadgets and innovations”; TechRadar’s Five-Star Review, which describes the CHG90 as
“one of the most functionally distinct and visually impressive monitors” ever
tested by the publication; and a CES 2018 Innovation Award for its outstanding design and
engineering, immersive presentation and gamer-friendly features.
With an
eye-catching yet practical design, exceptional image quality and flexible
multi-program presentation capabilities, Samsung’s CHG90 continues to raise the
bar for HDR monitors.
