BenQ EX3203R Monitor Achieves VESA DisplayHDR 400 and AMD FreeSync 2 Certification
BenQ, leading global innovator of displays, today announced its latest milestone in visual technology, earning VESA DisplayHDR 400 and AMD FreeSync 2 certifications for the EX3203R entertainment monitor. Featuring dazzling HDR performance with stunning gaming capabilities, the curved 32" display delivers immersive viewing and gaming experiences protected by BenQ Brightness Intelligence Plus (B.I. +) eye-care technology.
"EX3203R ingeniously blends HDR image quality together with B.I. +, guaranteeing dark details remain crystal clear even in dim environments while softening bright images," said Conway Lee, President of BenQ Corporation. "With FreeSync 2 for ultimate gameplay, EX3203R provides endless personal entertainment in absolute health and comfort safeguarded by BenQ Eye Care."Keeping pace with entertainment content encoded with HDR, which significantly increases the dynamic luminosity range for vivid, realistic video quality, VESA DisplayHDR certification is the world's first public qualification testing protocol for HDR monitor performance. VESA DisplayHDR 400 certification assures consumers that EX3203R can flawlessly render HDR content with brilliant peak brightness and contrast, deeper blacks and clear dark details, and intensely saturated colors for naturally realistic video and gaming quality.
"The BenQ EX3203R FreeSync 2 display features stunning color, contrast, and detail in every pixel and is an exceptional addition to the FreeSync 2 family," said Scott Herkelman, Vice President and General Manager, Radeon Technologies Group, AMD. "The past three years have been very exciting for AMD's FreeSync technology and we're thrilled to bring even more choice to PC and console gamers with BenQ's latest monitor. Gamers can experience fluid, artifact-free gameplay as well as high-brightness pixels, excellent black levels, and a wide color gamut for HDR content, all without compromising on price."
In addition to eliminating image tearing, broken frames, and choppy gameplay, FreeSync 2 raises the bar for PC and console gaming displays by requiring panel characteristics such as a large dynamic refresh rate range and low latency for exceptional HDR viewing experiences. Correspondingly, EX3203R's exceptional color reproduction, together with superb contrast performance and ultrafine detail rendition ideally equip it as the perfect HDR video and gaming display platform. Combining HDR with Brightness Intelligence Plus eye-care technology, EX3203R provides long-term eye comfort for extended gaming or video watching sessions while delivering spectacular HDR images to preserve dark detail clarity for human eyes to perceive easily, even in dim environments:
Brightness Intelligence Plus detects ambient color temperature and brightness to automatically adjust display brightness and color temperature for the most comfortable and accurate viewing experience, avoiding overexposure in bright scenes while preserving subtle details in dark scenes.
Flicker-Free Technology provides immediate relief from eyestrain by eliminating the 200+ times per second flickering that plagues conventional LCD screens.

This could be pretty good, is the price is sane.
It's very clear.
If i try to understand you , you are basicaly saying that there are two FreeSync 2 standards :
1) FreeSync 2 HDR : HDR600 certification .
2) FreeSync 2 : Everything else that does't meet HDR600 certification .
Confusing non the less .... At that price this monitor is a big JOKE !

HDR on PC is a huge joke. Console master race.
In other news, this is the same tired (and curved) panel used by all others HDR400 certified monitors.
Here is a pretty good interview about Freesync 2 HDR :
FS2HDR : HDR600 (and not "somewhere in between" 400 and 600):
For me it is enough material to say that FS2HDR displays must meet the HDR600 requirements.
FreeSync 2
DisplayHDR 600/FreeSync 2 HDR
FreeSync 2 HDR changes the contrast and color requirements to match DisplayHDR 600 so as far as color/contrast is concerned, they're one in the same.
This monitor matches the old FreeSync 2 definition and because the FreeSync 2 definition exceeds DisplayHDR 400, they slap the DisplayHDR 400 sticker on there too.
wccftech.com/amd-adding-hdr-to-freesync-2-rebrand-now-titled-freesync-2-hdr-and-increases-minimum-hdr-requirement/ There's no reason for AMD to maintain a separate specification for HDR when VESA now has a standard.
Here's another monitor that didn't qualify for FreeSync 2 HDR so it only got FreeSync 2 + DisplayHDR 400 branding:
