It is, you want 1000 nits. They claim the HDR support because it can display HDR10 signal, plus with the supposedly good DCI P3 coverage you'll see some benefit in better colors. You won't get the full contrast benefit from HDR since the brightness is just average.
Aww, I wanted an affordable 10-bit panel. VA for contrast sounds like an interesting option and I guess with the right backlight you could get a good color gamut.
I like how this article states that 400 nits is too low for HDR, and then the next article is about VESA setting 400 as the lower end spec for HDR displays.

Isn't 400 nits pretty low for HDR?euskalzabe - Monday, December 11, 2017 - link

the brightness is not even average.... not for a real HDR display.Gothmoth - Monday, December 11, 2017 - link
it is.. my TV has over 1400 nits and it´s "good enough"... puting HDR on a display that only has 400 nits is a sad joke.JoeyJoJo123 - Monday, December 11, 2017 - link

Benq *VA panels are decent if you have something to do calibration. Never trust those plant calibration claims.Alistair - Monday, December 11, 2017 - link
Wider color space with 8 bit color means less precision. Was really hoping for a quality 10 bit panel also. No 10 bit, no sale.Dizoja86 - Monday, December 11, 2017 - link

This monitor has been available in Europe since August, I wonder if they released it again because of now meeting the requirements for DisplayHDR 400?nerd1 - Thursday, December 14, 2017 - link
