  HDR10?

  It's only (max) 350cd/m2 brightness. It's only 1000:1 contrast. It's only 99% sRGB. It's only 10bit via 8bit native + FRC.

  Four things that make this very un-HDR.

  Clarification: It's display manufacturers that need to stop this charade. I'm not having a go at you for posting.

    Very simple. If it's less than $1k, it's fake HDR.

      Yep. Sick of these companies misleading people into thinking they're getting HDR and then the format dying because people don't think it looks any different.

    That means it accepts HDR10 input, not that it meets any HDR display format.

    HDR400 is what you're referring to, but I still like the specification as it at least narrows how many monitors I check for wide colour gamut options.

      HDR400 isn't even real HDR…

      But alas, "HDR10" makes people think they're getting a HDR screen as HDR10 is the standard container for HDR.

        Depends on how you define 'real HDR'.

        From my perspective, unless it's very close to per-pixel backlighting or self-emissive, it's all garbage-tier HDR, which rules out all current monitors that aren't OLED.

        Next year, Innolux will roll out a 4k144Hz IPS panel that uses a 1920x1080 panel as a backlight array (i.e. 2 million FALD), but that might come with enormous power requirements, lowered viewing angle and perhaps weak contrast.

        TV manufacturers are looking into this too (with VA panels), but the viewing angle concerns will be amplified there.

          @jasswolf: Real HDR to me is extremely bright specular highlights, punchy blacks and DCI-P3 colour space.

            @BradH13: And no discernible halo effect while playing with a cursor or lighting/laser trails, especially with raytracing about to hit mainstream?

            So… we basically agree. Got it.

    Oh that is shifty, I just found a review for this model that mentions what you are saying: https://www.monitornerds.com/lg-34wl85c-review/

    "The monitor comes with DP 1.4 since its HDR10 compatible, but it’s not sufficiently equipped to give a true HDR visual output like some of the brand’s upmarket variants."

    "LG advertises this monitor as HDR10-capable, but it doesn’t have the requirements or capabilities outlined by VESA for HDR performance."

      You're linking an ad/referral farm scam, not an actual monitor review website. Here's an actual reviewer giving their take:

  Maybe they will drop the 27GL850 to RRP now.
