VESA Adaptive-Sync Display Standard Updated With Dual-Mode Support: Ready For Gaming Monitors With 4K 144Hz & 1080P 280Hz Modes

wccftech.com:

VESA's Adaptive-Sync display standard has been updated with support for dual-mode which lets users switch between 4K 144Hz & 1080p 280Hz in upcoming gaming monitors.

The announcement comes just a few days ahead of CES 2024 where manufacturers are expected to unveil their latest designs that support the VESA Adaptive-Sync 1.1a display standard. As we've already seen, these gaming monitors will let users switch between 4K 144Hz & 1080p 240Hz using a dual-mode switching technology so you can enjoy either high-refresh-rate gaming or a very high fidelity experience. The monitors that we have seen so far include the LG OLED UltraGear series & ASUS's ROG SWIFT PG32UCDP OLED. These will be among the many new gaming monitors that will support the new technology and arrive in 2024.

Press Release: The Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) today announced that it has published an update to its Adaptive-Sync Display Compliance Test Specification (Adaptive-Sync Display CTS), which is the first publicly open standard for front-of-screen performance of variable refresh rate displays. Adaptive-Sync Display version 1.1a provides updated testing procedures and logo support for an emerging category of displays that can operate at different maximum refresh rates when resolution is reduced. This optional “Dual Mode” testing and logo support allows display OEMs with qualifying hardware to certify their products at two different sets of resolution and refresh rates (for example, 4K/144Hz and 1080p/280Hz).

AdaptiveSync Display v1.1a also includes an update that allows display OEMs to achieve a higher AdaptiveSync Display refresh rate certification for displays that support an “overclocked” or faster mode option that is not enabled by
