Philips Announces Their Momentum 436M6VBPAB Monitor: 4K, Display HDR 1000, Active Sync
Philips have been on a roll not only with their OLED TVs, which have become some of the highest-esteemed in the market, but want to bring that premium quality to their PC monitors as well. Enter the Momentum 436M6VBPAB monitor, a 43" MVA panel affair that supports 4K resolution, features true Display HDR with 1000 maximum nits brightness, and Active Sync tech to bring it up to speed to users' interests and the latest tech (tough sadly, it's being listed as a 60 Hz panel). Have we mentioned integration of Philips' excellently mesmerizing Ambiglow technology?
Philips is promising 97.6% coverage of the DCI-P3 colour space, a peak brightness of over 1000 nits (needed fot that HDR 1000 certification), local dimming for deeper blacks, and support for 10-bit colour (8-bit + FRC). The display will support HDMI 2.0, Displayport 1.2, mini DisplayPort and USB Type-C (DP alt mode) inputs. This monitor may well release in the near future, but expect its pricing to be adequate to the technology it offers.

So not 10-bit.
maximum power 190
Brightness is not relevant or required to make colors pop, at all; it should only be used to balance out the image with the amount of light in the room. I'm staying FAR away from 1000 nit panels, rather, focus on the lowest black levels (OLED/VA).
This fake form of high brightness HDR should be avoided and its a real shame its being marketed like this. Another trick to hide crappy panel technology.
EUs energy efficiency class would put this monitor to lowest G -class, which actually might be the reason this one ain't marketed as TV.
