VESA announces a new standard 'ClearMR' that displays in an easy-to-understand manner 'how the video looks clear without blurring'



When purchasing a display such as a PC or TV, some people may have had the experience of investigating various indicators mixed with spec tables and selling complaints, but in the end they did not understand well. A new industry standardization organization for video peripherals

Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) has announced a new standard `` ClearMR '' that clearly shows `` how smooth the video looks without blurring ''

Display performance indicators include ' ppi ,' which indicates the number of pixels per inch, ' refresh rate (Hz) ,' which indicates the number of times the screen is refreshed per second, ' MPRT ,' which indicates response time, Various exist, such as ' GTG ', which indicates the speed of the transition to neutral colors. Each index evaluates a different item on the display, but the point that many general consumers are concerned about, ``how clear a video can be seen without blurring,'' can be inferred from these indexes. It Is difficult.

Therefore, on August 22, 2022, VESA announced a new display standard `` ClearMR '' that quantitatively compares `` motion blur '' that occurs in moving images. VESA is a page explaining ClearMR, and it is not possible to evaluate problems such as overshoot, which jumps over the target color tone for a moment when the color tone changes, and various motion blur reduction functions only with the currently used time-based index such as MPRT. pointed out. Therefore, ClearMR was formulated with the aim of allowing consumers to fairly compare the motion blur quality of displays.

The ClearMR score is divided into 7 levels, 'ClearMR 3000', 'ClearMR 4000' ... 'ClearMR 9000', based on the newly defined 'Clear Motion Ratio (CMR)' measurement results. Each score is expressed as a percentage of the ratio of 'clear pixels' and 'blurred pixels', and 'ClearMR 7000' has 6500% to 7500% (65 times to 75 times more).



The image below shows how the ``bike tire running in the rain'' (top) and ``napkin and knife'' (bottom) in the video look for each ClearMR class of the display.



ClearMR 7000 or more is like this. You can see that the screen is clearer as ClearMR improves.



Various major companies such as Apple, Intel, Samsung, LG Electronics, Facebook Technologies, Lenovo, IO Data, Nintendo, and Sony participate in VESA's list of participating companies , and Ars Technica, a technology media, said, `` Thorough and complicated You can count on us to do a thorough test,' he said. Dale Stolitzka, a senior researcher at Samsung Display and involved in the formulation of ClearMR, said that the ClearMR 3000 is set as ``the lowest class for notebook PCs with 90-120Hz displays'' and is usually a 60Hz display. explains that it is not eligible for ClearMR certification.

ClearMR certification testing is conducted at a room temperature of 72.5 degrees Fahrenheit to 76 degrees Fahrenheit (22.5 degrees Celsius to 24.4 degrees Celsius) using the display's maximum frame rate and default settings. Backlight strobes are disabled for fairness, and overshoots and undershoots are also limited.

'By embossing VESA's ClearMR standard in its logo, buyers can be confident that they are getting the clearest picture representation and the best viewing experience,' said Stolitzka. Our goal is for ClearMR to replace metrics like MART, which are based solely on the amount of time spent in the market.”
