The new DisplayHDR 1.2 standard has increased color requirements

To be certified to this standard, displays must use an 8-bit (+FRC) matrix, have at least 99% sRGB and 90% DCI-P3 color coverage, have a static contrast ratio of at least 1300:1, and provide HDR color fidelity.

Display manufacturers can already begin certifying their devices to the DisplayHDR 1.2 standard. However, the possibility of passing DisplayHDR 1.1 certification remains until May 2025, and for laptop screens the transition period will last until May 2026.
