Hdr is a significant improvement over the old flat display, whether it be a television or a monitor. In the TV world, there is a growing supply of suitable products, but in the monitor land hdr is still quite scarce. Certainly models that offer 'true' hdr are rare. Philips is introducing a 43-inch monitor that does offer this, the Momentum 436M6VBPAB. In this article we are going to share and discuss the test results of this monitor.

For ‘true’ hdr a monitor at least needs a high (peak) brightness and a wide colour space. The Philips Momentum 436M6VBPAB promises both: with at least 1000 nits of brightness and support for the dci-p3 colour space it qualifies for the DisplayHDR 1000 criterium of the Vesa standards organization. Philips also reports that the monitor has received the UHD Premium certificate from the UHD Alliance. Now that all of the standards and certificates are out of the way we would like to get back to the facts: brightness, colour space and colour depth are important.
