The ambient light sensor on MacBooks will raise the limit past 500 nits when it detects bright sunlight.
- alin23 5y agoI've encountered exactly the opposite: https://alinpanaitiu.com/blog/over-500nits-failed/#sdr-cap-in-direct-sunlight https://alinpanaitiu.com/blog/over-500nits-failed/#sdr-cap-i... The SDR nits never go over 500 in my experience. But it's possible I haven't tested this correctly.
- argsnd 5y agoMy bad - I noticed that the screen becomes brighter than it is possible to manually set it to when it's in harsh sunlight, so I assumed that this was a result of it increasing the SDR brightness limit past 500 nits, I didn't know that such conditions were required merely to push it to 500 nits. Thanks for the info!
