It's all very welcome, but ultimately none of it really pushes more affordable monitors towards being actual HDR displays. It's still only HDR 1000 and HDR 1400 that require full-array local dimming.

while the other HDR Peak 1000, focuses on providing 1000 nits of peak brightness. I use this monitor myself at home for both work and gaming, and it’s served me well ever since I got it.
