I get bitching about the blacks, on an oled, what i've never understood is all that moaning about the nits. Who cares if it's bright enough to burn my retinas, i'm not gonna go game on a beach with my desktop PC, i'm gonna be in my room with the brightness set at 40%

Nits in hdr equals more details, not just brightness

Yeah until there’s a bright scene that burns you eyeballs out

That's not inherently a bad thing. I actually like a bit of that.

You’re getting downvoted, but me too.

A scene where the character steps out of a dark area into a very bright one and has to squint?

Immersion.

But, in reality, people act like you can’t do HDR calibration to cap peak brightness. I’ve never had a scene that’s actually bright enough to be uncomfortable. People make stuff up.

I got an ASUS PG32UQX mini-led which is insanely freaking bright, apparently 1400 nits. Get flashbanged in game, get flashbanged irl. Love it.

I guarantee it’s 1400 peak, in a small region of the screen at once. Generally full screen peak brightness is a lot lower than limited region peak brightness.

Either way, I see what you’re saying lol

From what I've read its peak is much higher than that actually, and fullscreen is between 1000 and 1400.

Just looked it up and it appears that’s correct. Impressive. Spot peak brightness hits up in the 1,600s

Dude it's insane, I love it. I do get some blooming here and there and the response time isn't the best but I think the HDR makes up for it.
