The Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) today announced DisplayHDR True Black 1400, a new flagship performance tier in its DisplayHDR True Black specification that certifies the latest generation of OLED displays for professional HDR content creation and premium HDR content consumption. The new tier recognizes advances in OLED display technology that enable significantly higher luminance performance while preserving the deep black levels, exceptional contrast and visual fidelity that define the DisplayHDR True Black program. The first products certified to the DisplayHDR True Black 1400 specification will be showcased at Bilibili World 2026 in Shanghai, China, July 10-12.

DisplayHDR True Black 1400 is VESA's highest-performance DisplayHDR True Black tier to date, requiring certified displays to achieve at least 1400 cd/m² peak luminance while maintaining black levels as low as 0.0005 cd/m². The new tier also raises full-screen luminance performance to at least 700 cd/m², representing a significant advancement in sustained HDR brightness while maintaining the exceptional black-level performance associated with emissive display technologies such as OLED.
