anything under 300 nits is a pretty abysmal viewing experience IME, good price on the CM3000 though

One of those things I wonder with the brightness because I see it come up a lot with monitors and mobile devices, 300 nits seems to be the sweet spot I've seen mentioned for many users. I haven't had much luck understanding what this means in terms of brightness and viewing quality. For example, my small apartment bedroom is usually illuminated by a single 15 watt (130v) incandescent GE bulb. It is enough for me to see most things clearly, and if I stare directly at the bulb for longer than a few seconds it causes pain.

So what is the comparative brightness to this? I get that dimming is possible, but if a lower powered screen is used to cut cost, would this be a non issue for someone with my level of sensitivity? I tend to keep the brightness down on a lot of devices, and from what I see with most phone users many people seem to like keeping the brightness really high.

Apologies for the wall of text, but I would lie to understand if the '300 nits' issue is a non-issue for me.

Have you ever thought a laptop screen seemed dim? If so, a 220 nit screen will seem unusually dim. It may be so dim that it's hard to distinguish details.

When the max brightness is too low, the contrast suffers.
