An interesting observation was made today, a clever contemporary change to the text on Nvidia’s website seems to indicate that NVIDIA has lowered the requirements for the top-notch G-Sync Ultimate certification. The requirement of VESA DisplayHDR 1000 has been changed to ‘true-to-life HDR’.
In the past, NVIDIA applied rigorous qualifications for the ultimate specification; G-Sync Ultimate required mandatory features such as VESA DisplayHDR 1000 certification and a G-Sync module. And that means that a monitor must provide at least 1000 nits of brightness (peak). Things tested by NVIDIA and then certified I have to mention where they run over 300 tests.
The previous specification list requires 1000 nits of peak brightness
The new writing shows that 1000 nits are turned into ‘true-to-life HDR’. And that is formulated quite fluently; that value can be all you need to be deciphered. Previously, the required HDR 1000 had to be paired with an expensive G-SYNC module for that G-Sync Ultimate tag, as was very well noted by website PC monitors.
What if a manufacturer offers a 400 or 600 nit monitor with a GSYNC module? Yes, in this wording, even that could be tagged as G-SYNC Ultimate, and you’d still be paying the certification premium.
