Not sure how to interpret this

Alienware advertises this monitor as being DisplayHDR 400 True Black certified and as having a peak brightness of 1000 cd/m².

Thats a hefty price if its actually nothing more than HDR400. I suppose only reviews will be able to back up the peak brightness figures.

This doesn't make sense, If it's got 1000 cd/m² that directly translates to 1000 nits which would surely further translate to HDR1000 and not HDR400 ?

Exactly!

 

[Dr.Puschkin]

Exactly!

It's rated for HDR 400 True Black which is another tier of HDR cetification from VESA.

read well, it is HDR TRUE BLACK, not HDR400

The DisplayHDR True Black specification for OLED and other emissive displays includes three levels of HDR system performance: DisplayHDR True Black 400, DisplayHDR True Black 500, and DisplayHDR True Black 600

Read the article again you can see how it can be misinterpreted

Alienware advertises this monitor as being DisplayHDR 400 True Black certified and as having a peak brightness of 1000 cd/m²

You cannot expect every reader to see this and say "ok, I will just verify this information via the VESA standards". They hope for these articles to provide accurate info, and DisplayHDR 400, NOT DisplayHDR Trueblack 400 'can be taken different ways.

But even then, I have a hard time seeing Alienware of all brands selling a proper 1000nit monitor for $1200 coupled with Gsync Ultimate which apparently is the proper ultimate not the sneaky Gsync compatible "ultimate". I sense some corners cut here somewhere.

Alienware in general overprice everything just like ASUS and this seems a little far fetched.

 

[MiNo]

Holy Cow - this might be it.

A “monitor sized” monitor with OLED, HDR and ideal resolution and aspect ratio.

If this tests Well and comes with a Zero dead pixel warrenty then my Wallet better prepare.

 

[MiNo]

Never mind - it’s curved and thereby a hard pass.

Really hope for a flat version as well.

It should still translate directly to 400nits peak brightness. The thing is that 1000nits figure is either completely deceptive, or only held by too short of a period that it wasn't valis for a 600 or 500 rating; or it is only possible on a window too small that it isn't valid for 600 or 500 rating.

Yeah, we need to wait for reviews, because if it actually does 1000 peak brightness on a 10% window then it's already better than an LG C1 OLED, and maybe Vesa is testing for sustained full-screen brightness? In which case 400 nits is also better than an LG C1 OLED.
