    I’ve always appreciated the increased vibrancy that comes with HDR, but never appreciated the localized bursts of brightness until I got a TV with 1000 nit HDR. In a dark room, it’s awesome and sometimes so bright it’s a bit unpleasant.

      Thing is 1K nits isn’t really a lot in the grand scheme of todays 📺 😜 BUT with OLED and the perfect native black/contrast ratio it makes the brights extremely overwhelming sometimes as you go form one scene being near black then 💥 1K nits of pure contrast! Then compare that to a say Samsung QD display with back light bleed and poor quality of pixel density etc etc you really don’t need 1K nits when the contrast is 💯

  • @hugevibez
    @hugevibez 7 месяцев назад +21

    HDR 400 Trueblack is a different HDR standard for self-emissive displays rather than normal HDR 400, since most oled screend don't have an average picture level greater than 400 nits but can definitely display HDR content effectively. The normal HDR classification doesn't work for self-emissive displays in the same way. HDR 500 Trueblack is currently reserved for the newer generation screens that offers slight brighter picture levels. It's kinda weird, since your display is technically HDR 400 Trueblack as well if it was given VESA certification even though it can reach brightness above that. Though those panels definitely are also at the lower end of HDR presentation in terms of what can be achieved so the lower certification is justified. The yellow skyscraper real scene HDR measurements from RTings show around 400 nits for the C1 and for the G3 around 500 nits, I would guess VESA's testing uses something similar to that.

      It's clear he understands that it's not the same as HDR 400 due to the OLED black levels. I think he's just not convinced that 400 nits peak brightness is sufficient for a good HDR experience even with perfect blacks. The "TRUE BLACK 400" certification only assures a minimum of 400 nits in a 10% window.

  • @gebgeb1
    @gebgeb1 7 месяцев назад +2

    trueblack 400 needs to be labelled as such because the monitors can only reach 400nits when displaying something that requires max brightness in full screen. most oled monitors announced at CES can reach 1000 nits on a 3% window which decreases to something like 800 at 10, 500 at 20 and so on. This combined with the oled contrast ratio makes for a pretty great hdr experience where highlights still pop. the same happens on the TV side where an LG C2 can only reach 500 nits in a 25% window. full screen brightness is where oleds lack atm compared to local dimming LEDs but the technology improves on that front every year

    I implore everyone to wait until Phosphorescent blue OLED subpixels arrive before investing in this technology, especially from Samsung. The blue OLED subpixels are only 25% thermally efficient, meaning that 75% of the energy pumped into them turns into heat. Since QD-OLED uses blue subpixels for nearly all the light output, this causes them to have poor heat/luminance ratios that accelerate burn in. Phosphorescent blue OLEDs we’re just made production ready last year, meaning panel maker will be designing their products this year, and releasing them next year.

    I have a super ultra wide g9 and its better for productivity than the 21:9 equivalent for sure. It's much easier to snap windows as it performs more or less identically to a dual 16:9 setup. Yeah you have to set pretty low FOVs to have it not look warped. I usually have it set to 80. However, the real fix would be an FOV linearity adjustment. Sim games also have a whole bunch of camera settings to cater to these monitors. It is a pretty sick sim racing monitor if you use it with trackir

    The long and short of the DisplayHDR standards as they apply to the discussion in this video is that "DisplayHDR True Black 400" is not "DisplayHDR 400". VESA's own blurb for True Black 400 quotes "up to 50X greater dynamic range and 4X improvement in rise time compared to DisplayHDR 1000", to try and illustrate just how different the two ratings actually are.

HDTVtest fact: Your OLED TV is not bright enough, watch that and then you will understand why higher peak brightness is needed. Also dim days in real life are higher than 1000 nits and you don't complain about it being too bright on those do you? Also your common light bulb is more than your TV and you can look at those fine. I really don't understand why so many are thinking 1000 nits is too bright or that we do not need more, if you educate yourselves on the subject you will quickly realise...

    I've purposely held back on overpaying for 4K kit until it matures and normalises in price. We're almost there, and 1080p/60 performance these days is obviously excellent. Therefore I'll move up in the next 2-3 years with ONE new display initially. Eventually I'll need a 4K projector.

The main trade off is extra GPU power due to more pixels, which usually means lower frames, but most people are fine with anything above 80fps.

      @@cun7us as someone who works in game development and film I think I understand aspect ratio.
      Most games, in fact, clip the top in the bottom for competitive fairness, yes, some games used to just have a set height, and then the wider, your screen the more you see, some of the old RTS games work that way, not for new games, fov is set from the diagonal, and so 1:1 would technically give you the highest surface area.
      Now there are exceptions like racing games , where they tend to just keep the focus on the vertical so you get more speed feeling.
      But that’s not even the point , ultimately, if you look per pixel 4K screen is 8 million pixels and 3440 x 1440 ultrawide is 5 million.
      And the ultrawide is probably more expensive, It is effectively almost 4K screen with the top, and the bottom cut off. That you pay more for
      Now, if you wanna argue about pixel, screen, size cool , I can get a 4K 40 inch monitor for less than a 34 inch ultra wide,
      And they’re about the same width , with more pixels.

      DisplayHDR 1000 is a high-tier standard mainly for professional and enthusiast monitors. Its highlights include:
      - Super bright peak luminance at 1000 cd/m², making things really vivid and bright.
      - Sustained brightness of 600 cd/m² over the whole screen, which is great for consistent viewing.
      - It uses local dimming to improve contrast significantly.
      - The color gamut is really wide, covering over 99% of sRGB and 90% of DCI-P3, which means colors are super accurate and vibrant.
      - Requires 10-bit image processing, ensuring smooth color transitions.
      On the other hand, DisplayHDR 400 TrueBlack is designed for OLED and similar displays, focusing on delivering deep black levels and detailed shadows. It offers:
      - A peak brightness of 400 cd/m².
      - The ability to reach incredibly low black levels (0.0005 cd/m²), perfect for seeing details in dark scenes.
      - Offers a dynamic range that's much greater than DisplayHDR 1000, enhancing visual detail in both bright and dark areas.
      In simple terms, DisplayHDR 1000 is all about high brightness and vivid colors, making it great for professional work in photo editing, graphic design, and gaming. DisplayHDR 400 TrueBlack, with its focus on deep blacks and shadow details, is perfect for watching movies or gaming in dimly lit rooms, where you want to see all the details in dark scenes.
      Which one is better? Well, DisplayHDR1000 sure is brighter, if that's what we are looking for.
