VESA Brings Clarity to Motion Blur in Digital Displays with New Compliance Test Specification and Logo Program
BEAVERTON, Ore., Aug. 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA®) today introduced the ClearMR Compliance Test Specification (ClearMR), an industry standard and logo program that provides a new quality metric for grading motion blur in digital displays. ClearMR is applicable to both LCD and emissive display products, including display panels, TVs, monitors, and computers with embedded displays, such as all-in-ones, laptops, notebooks and tablets. The new metric Clear Motion Ratio (CMR), as defined in the ClearMR standard, provides a clear numerical value based on the ratio of clear pixels to blurry pixels, which enables consumers to easily compare the amount of motion blur between VESA Certified ClearMR displays. CMR replaces Motion Picture Response Time (MPRT) and other methods of blur characterization since these other metrics do not accurately reflect the true nature of blur.
- VESA's ClearMR standard and logo program limits the use of these enhancement techniques during testingenabling consumers to make a fair comparison of motion blur quality across VESA Certified ClearMR display products.
- Each tier provides a visually distinguishable change in clarity, with higher CMR numbers indicating higher image quality and less blur.
- Only displays that pass all ClearMR compliance tests can qualify for the VESA Certified ClearMR logo.
- Display vendors wishing to participate in the VESA Certified ClearMR logo program can send their products for testing at any of VESA's approved Authorized Test Centers (ATCs).
