Existing standards cannot properly measure HDR expressiveness
VDE standards can measure color changes according to brightness

Samsung Electronics' next-generation QLED TV has received verification of 'Color Volume 100%' from VDE (Verband Deutscher Elektrotechniker), a globally recognized standards certification body in Germany.

Established in Germany in 1893, VDE is an organization that verifies and certifies audio and video equipment, home appliances, and various new technologies, leading Europe in testing, certification, and standards.

Color Volume is a new standard designed to measure not only the range of brightness that a TV can express, but also the color changes that vary according to brightness. It measures how accurately a TV implements the original creator's intent.



The existing Color Gamut standard had limitations in that when the screen became brighter or darker, colors would appear muddy or faded, reducing color expressiveness and failing to reveal display blind spots. Therefore, it was difficult to properly measure a TV's HDR expressiveness.

Samsung Electronics stated that its 2017 QLED TV, which applies metal quantum dot technology, achieves not only 'Color Volume 100%' but also HDR brightness of 1500-2000 nits, deep contrast ratio, and color reproduction without distortion from any viewing angle.

Han Jong-hee, Senior Vice President of Samsung Electronics' Visual Display Business Division, stated, "Through Samsung QLED TV, we have overcome the limitations of colors that displays can express," and added, "Based on the excellence of QLED TV proven through this Color Volume 100% verification, we will continue to showcase innovations that only the world's number one TV market company for 11 consecutive years can deliver."
