VESA Updates Adaptive-Sync Display Standard with Tighter Specifications

Retrieved on: 
Tuesday, May 16, 2023

BEAVERTON, Ore., May 16, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA®) today announced that it has published the first major update to its Adaptive-Sync Display Compliance Test Specification (Adaptive-Sync Display CTS), which is the first publicly open standard for front-of-screen performance of variable refresh rate displays. The updated specification, Adaptive-Sync Display version 1.1, features more comprehensive and robust testing, including expanding gray to gray (G2G) testing from a 5x5 test matrix to a subset of the much larger 9x9 test matrix, which results in more than tripling the number of G2G test scenarios. It also replaces the fixed percentage overshoot and undershoot limits when overdrive is enabled with limits based on values of Perceptual Quantization (PQ), which is better aligned to represent human sensitivity to light. These changes provide for a far better representation of the display's variable refresh rate performance, including significantly reduced undershoot allowances.

Key Points: 
  • Companies can begin certifying their display products under the new Adaptive-Sync Display spec today.
  • According to Roland Wooster, chairman of the VESA Display Performance Metrics Task Group responsible for the Adaptive-Sync Display CTS and the association's representative from Intel Corporation for HDR and Adaptive-Sync display technology, "VESA's Adaptive-Sync Display standard provides consumers with a clear and consistent set of metrics to easily compare variable refresh rate performance of displays supporting the VESA Adaptive-Sync protocol.
  • DisplayHDR, the first fully open standard for HDR quality and performance, paved the way for the development and adoption of subsequent front-of-screen performance specifications, including Adaptive-Sync Display as well as VESA's ClearMR standard, which addresses motion blur performance.
  • VESA will showcase product demonstrations of its latest video standards, including Adaptive-Sync Display, at the Display Week Symposium, Seminar & Exhibition, taking place at the Los Angeles Convention Center from May 21-26, 2023.
