    literally don’t care about brightness. do people game outdoors or something? I have never used any display over 60% of its brighness capability.

    fix vrr flicker and we can talk.

    Hope so! modern OLED’s are far more resistant to fading, but would be nice for that to be a thing of the past!

    Isn’t this what quantum dots are supposed to do? My new QDOLED TV is already uncomfortable at full brightness IMO.

      Exactly my thoughts as well. At 1000 nits peak the OLED screens I have are already painfully bright under “ideal” viewing conditions (i.e., dim lighting), and easily visible in poor conditions (sunny day, curtains/blinds open). What on earth are they building them brighter for? Outdoor daytime viewing?

          Sure, but even for small highlights where you’re going to be hitting HDR peaks past 1000 nits or so you’re still getting into painfully bright territory when viewing it indoors under normal conditions. Does anyone actually want specular highlights in outdoor scenes to be literally difficult to look at directly as if they were real 10,000+ nits reflections of sunlight?

          I understand pushing 2000 or even 3000 nits on mobile device displays though. Sometimes there’s a need to compete with direct sunlight when viewing outdoors.

          Partially HDR but also full field SDR brightness. They’re a lot dimmer than competing LCD screens (approx 250 nits at 100% brightness).

      I think most modern screens are brighter and more vibrant than a CRT (with proper HDR, doubt any CRT could be 1200+ nits) , but definitely the pixel switching, smearing and delay is a lot worse.

      CRTs aren’t very bright though. LED backlit monitors can output absurd levels of brightness.

    It’s ok to dream about the future LG, but how about releasing firmware upgrades in the present to fix your current OLED monitors?
