DisplayHDR Test

The VESA DisplayHDR Group is known for creating standards to evaluate the quality and performance of displays. One of their most recent standards is DisplayHDR, a set of quantitative tests that measure dynamic range and color gamut accuracy. The DisplayHDR test is available to anyone who wants to test their display's HDR capabilities, and it can be accessed online.

When you visit the DisplayHDR test page, you'll be asked to select your display's maximum luminance, as well as the color gamut it supports. The test will then run through a series of scenes that showcase the display's dynamic range and color accuracy. These scenes include bright outdoor landscapes, dark interiors, and vividly colorful images.

• The first test focuses on contrast and brightness. It displays several different shades of white against a black background to evaluate the display's ability to produce bright highlights and deep blacks.
• The second test is all about saturation and color gamut. You'll see an image of a flower with a range of colors, and the test will evaluate how accurately the display reproduces each hue.
• The third test evaluates the display's ability to handle dimly lit scenes. It displays several shades of gray against a dark background to test the display's ability to produce subtle details in low-light situations.

The DisplayHDR test is a useful tool for measuring your display's HDR capabilities. It can help you determine whether your display meets certain standards, such as DisplayHDR 400, 600, or 1000, based on how well it performs in each of the tests. While it may not be necessary for casual users, professionals who rely on accurate color reproduction or gamers who want an immersive HDR experience can benefit from using this test.
