Is the HDR10+ GAMING certification less strict than other HDR standards?

HDR10+ Technologies LLC operates a certification program. Every display with the HDR10+ GAMING logo must pass tests for color accuracy, brightness handling, and protocol compliance.

HDR10+ GAMING is royalty-free and open, which means adoption is driven by hardware quality rather than commercial agreements. More than 7,000 products have passed certification. The result is a large, quality-verified ecosystem that any manufacturer or developer can participate in without paying per-device fees.
