The reason I ask is because VA panels seem like they would be our best candidate for HDR computer monitors due to better black levels compared to tn and ips, but if the only way to get that low is to use local dimming (I've never seen this in a computer monitor) then the only way to achieve HDR on a standard computer monitor will be to get that crazy expensive oled display for the desktop (not counting notebook oleds).

The relevant section is the following:
For High Dynamic Range playback a TV must support the SMPTE ST2084 EOTF (electrical optical transfer function the way a screen turns digital data into visible light) and achieve one of two combinations of peak brightness and black level depth. Either more than 1000 nits peak brightness and less than 0.05 nits black level, or more than 540 nits peak brightness and less than 0.0005 nits black level.
The second standard is tailored for oled, but for this year I expect that to be out of reach price wise for most people, but an HDR VA panel could be a lot more reasonable if they can actually get below .05 nits.... so can they? Or are we doomed to wait until oled monitors come down to earth or some other savior comes along?
