[ GLOSSARY DEFINITION ] Display

HDR certified

A label indicating a display meets a defined HDR standard such as VESA DisplayHDR or Dolby Vision.

Full Definition & Technical Explanation

HDR certified means a display has been tested against a formal high-dynamic-range standard rather than merely accepting an HDR signal. Certifications such as VESA DisplayHDR or Dolby Vision specify minimum brightness, contrast, and gamut.

Certification is a more reliable guide than a bare "HDR" logo.
