How these scores work

The Piqelo Score is our published assessment of this exact product, including value. Your search does not change it. The Search Score uses the underlying research, your preferences and comparison with similarly priced products. Value is counted once; budget and required features are hard limits.

Price comparison: $375.00 to $624.98 (±25% of this product’s price). Comparable evidence is limited.

Match evidence or required features still need confirmation.

Test results

Image quality, explained

Selected independent measurements, with what they mean in everyday use. Picture mode and test method matter; these results are not additional Piqelo scores.

Everyday brightness

Higher = brighter
SDR brightness
195 nitsnative/default

SDR is everyday desktop content. More brightness can help in a lit room; reflections and the size of the bright area still matter.

HDR highlights

Higher = brighter highlights
HDR brightness
369 nits10% window

HDR measures bright highlights in games and video. A small-window peak is different from full-screen brightness, so check the window and mode.

Color accuracy

Lower ΔE = less error
Average color error · ΔE
0.33 DeltaENative/default

Delta E measures the difference from the target color or gray. A calibrated result describes that setup; it does not establish factory accuracy.

Gamut extent/volume must not be presented as absolute coverage; the Delta-E method is source-specific.
