Last week the VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association) organization reported that the work on the DisplayHDR standard was over. This standard defines the quality of HDR content, being rendered by a display. Today we already know the name of the first device, which has successfully passed the certification mentioned. It’s the 49-inch Samsung C49HG90 monitor, which meets all requirements for obtaining DisplayHDR 600 conformity marking.To receive this certificate a display must offer the ultimate 600 cd/m² brightness, the 10-bit colour depth and cover at least 99 % of the BT.709 palette and 90 % of the DCI-P3 colour space.
Samsung C49HG90 features the 3840 x 1080 pixels resolution, 144 Hz refresh rate, 3000:1 static contrast, 600 cd/m² max brightness and 1 ms response time. Other specs include Quantum Dot backlighting as well as AMD FreeSync 2 support.
The Samsung C49HG90 estimated cost is $999.00.
The Internet community is engrossed in a lively debate about the upcoming release of two new Richland desktop processors from AMD. The company has not made any official claims yet, however MSI marked the pair as an appropriate match for some of its new motherboards. Those Richland CPUs, which has already been launched by AMD, proved to be rather power-efficient, featuring 65 W and 100 W TDP level. But new entries – AMD A8-6500T and AMD A10-6700T – are thought to receive 45 W TDP package.
In January Asus announced the VivoPC X mini PC, and last week the company notified its customers of this product retail launch. Thus, the system details have become known to general public.
