I can’t find any specs on your tool to confirm, but your 0.01 nit measurements are most likely below the minimum luminance that your meter can measure, so it’s just outputting 0.01. Try going even higher and see at what point it starts detecting something other than 0.01 for the black levels.

Im planning on getting the display pro i1, im pretty sure spyder X meters are for monitors, I noticed it reads down to 0.00, yet the i1 meter does 0.0000, so it may be its not made for TV calibration and its not reading light down far enough to give the accurate measurement

Ok im not sure what im doing then, i have the spyder X pro meter, i use a black and white checkered pattern from youtube and when i set screen to 100nits and check the black, i get 0.01, 100 divided by 0.01 is 10,000:1 but if i set screen to 200 nits the black squares are atill 0.01, so 200 divided by 0.01 is 20,000:1, isnt that calculating it correctly?

It should scale roughly linearly, so something is off with your results.

Ok, does it matter which way its done? I have QN85A 65in, if i do it at 100nits, i get 10,000:1, if i test at 200nits i get 20,000:1, so which one is correct?

With our latest methodology our contrast testing is done at 200 nits. As mentioned in the banner at the top of this article, the page is out of date at the moment, but we plan on updating it soon. Sorry for the confusion!

How do you guys check the contrast? Im curious because i see numbers all over, like on the QN85A 65in, you guys say in game mode its 20,000:1 native contrast, yet when i check with my spyder X pro i get about 10,000:1, assuming you guys always check with the brightness nits close to 100, i tried 200 and got 20,000:1, which nits are you guys using?
