Philips 436M6VBPAB Achieves DisplayHDR 1000 Certification

World’s First DisplayHDR 1000 Display

Philips is proudly announcing that one of the displays from their Momentum line is a pioneer in the HDR front. Specifically, being the first in the world to achieve DisplayHDR 1000 certification.

The Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) confirms that the Philips 436M6VBPAB meets the requirements of the High Dynamic Range standard. DisplayHDR 1000 is the highest tier among the three performance levels. The other two being DisplayHDR 400 and DisplayHDR 600. To date, less than a dozen displays are certified for either three.

What Were the Parameter Requirements to Meet This Standard?

Parameters requirements comprise three peak luminance tests, two contrast measurement tests, colour testing of the BT.709 and DCI-P3 colour gamuts, bit-depth requirement test and HDR response performance test. Only Philips 436M6VBPAB achieved maximum tier so far, by satisfying requirements of 8+2bit, BT. 709 99%, DCI-P3 90%, Brightness (Center Peak) 1000 nits, Brightness (Full Frame) 600 nits and Dark 0.05 nits.
