Another 400nits panel....

That stand though...

Another 400nits panel....

Because anything better equals a lot higher cost. Anything higher and you need not only local dimming, but a 10-bit panel.

400 nits is brighter than a 100 watt incandescent lightbulb (it's nearly 1400 lumens). I wouldn't even want it that bright from a monitor. A TV might be different story...

You just multiplied it by its surface area, didn't you?

 

[Prime2515102]

No, I multiplied it by 3.426, which is an approximation. The real math for this is too complicated for my feeble mind, so I looked up the shortcut. lol

edit: However, since you mentioned surface area, it's probably not quite the same experience since all the lumens from a bulb are concentrated in a very small space whereas it's spread over the whole screen with a monitor. Still, it's too bright with the possible exception of an office environment (generally better lit than an average room in a home). This is just my opinion I reckon... My current non-HDR monitor (250 nits rated) is too bright except in the daytime with sun coming in.

I give in.

10-bit image processing. So 8-bit + FRC should cover it, right?

Don't fancy the weak, wide gamut causes slower red decay.

Sure, but that's true for LG NanoIPS tech.

I guess so, but I can't say I've seen any HDR 500 displays at all and I think the HDR 600 ones are proper 10-bit ones, so far.

Well, uniform and peak brightness are two different things. My MBP manages 500 nits just fine without me going blind.

I think it's time to get some decent HDR panels to the market without being crazy expensive.

Alienware 27 Gaming Monitor (AW2721D)
IS coming out soon and according to spec supports HDR 600 but the price is listed at $1099.99. so not cheap for a 1440 panel.

Key word:
Peak luminance of 600 cd/m2

You won't have 600 cd/m2 on a dark scene. Say you have a bright sky you might end up with elements of the scene that should reach 600 cd/m2. So HDR600 doesn't mean your display will always output at 600 cd/m2, comparison to a lightbulb is invalid here.

True HDR effect is about showing your lowest luminance together with the peak without screwing up anything in between.
