What is a good screen brightness in nits?
Standard monitors are 250-350 nits, outdoor-readable displays need 1000+ nits. HDR TVs peak at 1000-4000 nits. Smartphones typically reach 500-2000 nits for outdoor visibility.
What is the difference between luminance and brightness?
Luminance (cd/m²) is a measurable physical quantity of light intensity. Brightness is our subjective perception of it, which is non-linear - doubling luminance doesn't double perceived brightness.
