He might mean "in SDR". The monitor functions at ~250 nits when not on HDR. When on HDR, it can reach 1000 nits. As with everything, it's all marketing. When a screen is said to be 1000 nits peak, that doesnt mean it can reach 1000 nits on the entire screen at the same time. It only achieves it when 2% of the screen is wanting to reach that amount (say, displaying the sun far away). If you are in a dark scene and only two lights are lit, for example, then those two small areas will reach higher peak brightness than if half the screen is showing a white neon light.

In any case, as someone who has this monitor, it gets very bright. That guy just hasn't seen the screen and its judging it by the 250 nits on SDR.

Peak 2% Window 985 cd/m²
Peak 10% Window 456 cd/m²
Peak 25% Window 360 cd/m²
Peak 50% Window 302 cd/m²
Peak 100% Window 255 cd/m²

That guy must just be complaining because his experienes is all on tiny laptop screens that are 300 nits. 300 nits in a 14 inch laptop is very poor, but on a 34 inch ultrawide, it is not.

EDIT: Even 2024 OLEDs are still stuck in the same brightness as first gen OLED monitors. The $1200 new Alienware is the same as are all "top OLEDs" in rtings website

https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/best/oled

All these OLED monitors get bright enough and the superior response time and deep blacks is way superior to a brighter screen with trash gray blacks.
Achieving high brightness from an LCD panel that literally has a backlight is way easier than achieving it with OLED. There are always trade-offs. I have the Alienware version of this Samsung and I've set it to Tru black HDR because 1000 nit mode was too bright. For gaming or content consumption, I do it in a dim room, I don't need 1000 nits for a room where sunlight isn't hitting the screen.

EDIT: Not to mention screen size being a factor. There's a reason phones have way higher peak brightness than your macbook
Well you won't be lugging around this monitor to Starbucks, so 600 nits is good enough imo

The thing I hate with all those deals is the 250 nits brightness...
My macbook has 600 nits in SDR and 1600 nits in HDR.
Why would I pay $600 for a dimmed screen?
do you set your macbook to 100% brightness?

Is this monitor VESA mount compatible? Looks like that silly RGB ring on the back might be limiting it's alternative mounting options...
