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: $825.00 to $1,374.98 (±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
478 nitsBrightness stabilizer off · 25% window
SDR brightness
283 nitsFull white field; stabilizer off · 100% window

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

One independently tested sample; lab settings and methods affect results.

HDR highlights

Higher = brighter highlights
HDR brightness
>543 nitsGame · 25% 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.

25% window in Game mode; measurements using other modes or window sizes require separate comparison.

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

Pixel response affects moving edges. Input lag is delay before the image starts changing; screen draw and signal processing are separate tests. Compare like-for-like methods.

Response, signal processing and total lag are different metrics; do not compare across lab methods.

From evidence to Piqelo Rating

What is still needed for a Piqelo Rating

Expert 50% · Owners 25% · Reliability 15% · Value 10%. The rating appears when all four components are supported.

Expert performance
5 eligible test sources collected. Performance calibration is still required.
Owner experience
At least 30 eligible exact-model owner reviews are needed; 0 are currently available.
Reliability
A supported reliability calculation needs model maturity, recurring risks and eligible owner evidence.
Current value
A current US price is available. Comparison with a supported peer group is still required.

Supported finding · hdr image

Tom’s Hardware measured over 543 nits at a 25% HDR window in Game mode. Keep the window size and operating mode attached to this measurement when comparing HDR results.

Tom’s Guide reported 146 nits with a 10% HDR window and 231 nits in SDR. Its HDR mode and firmware are unspecified; retain the reported result as a separate observation requiring verification before calibrating a score.
