"the eye-popping HDR panel on the other review unit was an impressive 469 nits with 199 percent gamut."
My understanding is that LCD screens require 1000 nits to be minspec HDR-compliant and OLED screens need 540 nits. Any idea why this is considered an HDR screen at 300 or 500 nits?

- contravariant 8y agoIn most of these standards there are differences between the nits required for highlights and full screen brightness. That article also seems to be talking about a particular 'Ultra HD Premium' sticker. At this point anything capable of displaying HDR encoded content can probably be called an HDR screen, regardless of whether it does a good or bad job. Personally I'm also a bit confused by the obsession with absolute brightness. I mean, watching a desert at original brightness is a nice gimmick but I'd much prefer to watch my TV without sunglasses.
