how bright does a tv or monitor really need to be? I go blind every time a game or movie displays more than 20% white coverage on a 2018 panel. Why is brightness always a selling point.
If I don’t literally go blind when I get flashbanged in a game, what’s the point in even playing?
For using displays in noon light controller areas, like your phone when you’re outside or the living room if that aunt of yours that have their TV getting hot directly by sunlight from the window
Brightness is the new spec to chase for monitors so they can better support HDR content. Companies think HDR will be the new selling point to get people to buy a new TV/monitor. It can make for a noticeably better image, but I don’t know if it’s compelling enough for the average consumer, especially if they already have a 4K TV. And, of course, a lot of existing video content hasn’t been shot for HDR.
There should be a tune able setting under “brightness” that automatically darkens the screen when it displays a certain amount of bright colors, especially after certain times.
Like I’m fine flying around a space game at night right up until I come face to face with a star, then I can’t see anything for a good 5 minutes. If I turn the brightness down to like 30%, I’m fine at any time of day. Just make the TV do that automatically when I have the option ticked.
It would have to have a ton of settings to not just end up being annoying to use though…
