Philips (MMD) To Release 43in Ultra HD Monitor with HDR1000
Now we're talking proper retina burning HDR levels! MMD, who sells under the Philips brand, releases a 43" monitor Ultra HD monitor (3840x2160 pixels) that is DisplayHDR 1000 certified, that means it can manage an eye soring brightness of 1000cd/m2.
The Philips 436M6VBPAB has been fitted with an MVA panel that has 32 local dimming zones. With an entirely white screen, the display still reaches a proper 720 cd/m2. The MVA panel displays 97.6 percent of the DCI-p3 color space using a quantum dot filter on the panel and the backlight. The monitor supports hdr10 signals and, in combination with the maximum brightness, it provides a DisplayHDR 1000 certification from VESA. MMD reports a static contrast of 4000: 1, its refresh rate is 60Hz. The screen also supports Adaptive Sync, and combined with HDR10 compatibility, this screen should be FreeSync 2 compatible.
The connectivity includes displayport 1.2 (x3 - full size, mini and USB-c), one HDMI 2.0 connection, a USB 3.0 hub, analog audio inputs and outputs in 3,5mm format and built-in stereo 7W speakers with 'DTS sound'. The specified gray-to-gray response time is 4ms. MMD will sell the Philips 436M6VBPAB for a suggested retail price of 799 euros. According to MMD, which has a license to use the Philips brand name on monitors, the monitor is mainly intended for console gamers. Availability is not yet announced.

8-bit + FRC

HDR has long way to go. And I do not think I'll jump on that wagon any time soon.
400cd/m^2 is quite a lot already in case you play darker game and then there is bright lightning flash in storm.
I know that HDR is good addition. I remember FarCry HDR patch. Was good even while being basic. And I would still prefer nice visual effect on normal screen, than being blinded for real by 1000cd/m^2.
But use of HDR screen to enhance contrast, that's different story. probably one which people behind HDR TV/monitor technology do not follow.

8-bit + FRC

There are different HDR specs under different tiers. Many displays claim HDR capability but are not 'true HDR'. Vesa have established their own specs which I believe tries to ensure adequate enough standards for displays that claim HDR capability. This is under the "DisplayHDR" specs of Vesa for which this display is certified.

Yeah, faking specs like this is starting to REALLY annoy me.
I used to go full nerd reading reviews as I was loving finding the best tech, no matter the type, now I feel I have to get into most serious items nitty gritty I buy so I dn't get limbered with crippled tech.
...makes me start to enjoy reading about such things much less and even feels like a chore at times.
Projectors shocked me more than most with so many even from recognised brands claiming 4k resolution natively on their own specs pages AND charging 4k prices when they are just using 1080p pixel shifted to simulate 4k or FauxK as some as calling it.
I would have thought regulatory bodies like UK's FTC would have stomped on companies using such flagrant lies to sell products by now !?!
