According to TFT Central, ASRock’s PG558KF display 252 local dimming zones, which is on the small side given the size of this 8K display. These local dimming zones will help to deliver higher contrast ratios when playing HDR content, though the small number of these local dimming zones will limit the feature’s impact. 252 local dimming zones across an 8K display is nothing when compared to the per-pixel dimming capabilities of modern OLED screens.
