HDR & Brightness Reality
21.5" Asus VP229QF does not carry an HDR badge, which is honest for this panel. The published strengths are 48 Hz - 100 Hz, 250 cd/m² brightness and 99% rather than peak luminance. Its 1000 : 1 contrast figure remains the main limit in dark content. Buyers should expect consistent SDR presentation and ignore HDR as a reason to choose it.
