That's nowhere near good enough to see in full sunlight, which is about 10k - 30k nits.

I was just answering the op's question why you would need a brighter TV. A 2000 nit TV would certainly be better in thrse situations, hence why someone would want one, answering ops question. Also, you're way off on your units or something. Specifically built, very expensive digital signage lcd displays only go up to a max of 6000 nits, which is crazy high and results in a display that draws 20 amps at 220v. Source below, and I've designed them. A 65" display at 30k nits would draw more than a thousand amps at 220v, it just isn't true. 6k nits is the practical limit of a display like this. Even jumbotrons don't go to 30k nits. https://ultravisionledsolutions.com/blogs/news/what-are-nits-1 https://ultravisionledsolutions.com/blogs/news/what-are-nits...

  The power usage of signage isn't relevant to the brightness of a sunny day. It's easy to lookup the numbers I gave directly.

    Please link to a commercially available display that has the brightness specs you say. The power usage of signage is relative to its power (light) output. The energy to create those photons has to come from somewhere.

      Who said there is a display? I said that's the brightness under full sunlight; that's the ambient light which a readable display needs to compete with.

        You said 2000 nits is nowhere good enough to be seen in daylight. 5000 nits is about the maximum you can get in specific high power outdoor displays, 2000 nits is common in applications like digital signage, etc. I personally know that 2000 nits is plenty to be seen in daylight, it's a common choice you see every day in your day to day life. The display doesn't need to compete with the brightness of the sun u less you want a display as bright as the sun, which is crazy. You just want to be able to read it in daylight, not light the world.

        Daylight is different than "full sunlight". A 2000-nit display is readable, but it looks washed out if in an exposed area on a sunny day. Probably why those 5000 nit displays exist.
