“Samsung Display has no doubt that consumers will have a much easier time in selecting their TVs, monitors and laptop displays now that the display industry has coalesced around a more exacting quantification of motion blur,” stated Hojung Lee, vice president and head of Mobile Display Product Planning Team at Samsung Display. Only displays that pass all ClearMR compliance tests can qualify for the VESA Certified ClearMR logo. Each tier provides a visually distinguishable change in clarity, with higher CMR numbers indicating higher image quality and less blur. ClearMR 7000, for example, is defined as a CMR range of 65-75 times (6500 to 7500 percent) more clear pixels than blurry pixels. The VESA Certified ClearMR logo features multiple performance tiers-from ClearMR 3000 up to ClearMR 9000-where each represents a range of blur performance based on the ratio of clear pixels versus blurry pixels as a percentage. VESA’s ClearMR standard and logo program limits the use of these enhancement techniques during testing-enabling consumers to make a fair comparison of motion blur quality across VESA Certified ClearMR display products. “Backing VESA’s ClearMR standard with a logo program will enable buyers to feel confident that they’re getting a display with the clearest depiction of action for the utmost in viewing pleasure.”ĬlearMR Provides True Quality Metric for Motion ClarityĬurrent methods, such as MPRT, fail to reflect the true nature of blur because a solely time-based metric cannot account for a number of image enhancement and blur mitigation techniques, such as excessive overshoot and undershoot, which can create artifacts and distortions that negatively impact image quality. “With ClearMR, VESA is providing the electronics industry with an open standard that gives consumers the confidence in knowing that they are purchasing a TV, notebook or monitor that meets the most well-defined set of blur criteria,” said Dale Stolitzka, senior principal researcher at Samsung Display’s America R&D Lab and lead contributor to ClearMR. 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. 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. 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. – Aug– 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.
