Desktop mode | Shows screen resolution and refresh rate mode. |
Active signal mode | Specifies the current screen resolution and refresh rate used by the system. |
Bit depth | Number of bits the display can use to represent each pixel of an image. |
Color format | Shows the color format (ex: RGB) currently used. |
Color space | Specifies if display is using Standard Dynamic Range (SDR) or High Dynamic Range (HDR). |
HDR certification | If display doesn’t show as certified (it says Not found), it might be because it doesn’t have an HDR certification, or the display manufacturer hasn’t published HDR certification information for your display. To find out if your display is HDR certified, visit the device manufacturer’s website. |
Peak brightness | Maximum brightness level in nits. |
That's it,
