- happyopossum 4y agoFTA: Even the best plasma TVs could only reach just over 100 nits of peak brightness in a 10% window test.
- vetinari 4y agoIt wasn't that bad (I had one). But the article also compares them to todays LCDs with 1000 nits. LCDs at the time weren't so bright either, they were about so bright as plasmas, but unlike plasmas, they also were gray goo.
- dbttdft 4y agoThe article is shit, but all I could find is that RTings measured 80 nits on some plasma TV. So it wouldn't surprise me. But this is fine. OLED is low brightness too. And CRTs can be adjusted down. This is one of the advantages of not using an LCD. LCDs are too bright. The sole use for their brightness is to be able to be used in sun light in the afternoon but why would you not just close the curtains at that point instead of getting fried. Brightness is literally what the guy at the electronics store uses to try and sell you this vs that monitor.
- adgjlsfhk1 4y agoOLED is "low brightness" at 200-300 nits. 100 means that if there's any ambient light at all, the contrast ratio is ruined.
- dbttdft 4y agoI don't think that means that. I have a CRT I keep around 100 nits and it still has an order of magnitude higher quality color with a lamp behind me to the side.
- vetinari 4y agoPlasma panels age. The last models were rated for 60,000 hours lifespan (to lose half of their brightness). So if they measured some 10-15 years old panel that spent most of its life being turned on, there's your answer.
