[QUOTE="relaxation, post: 265681, member: 5759"] Props for mentioning the brightness & display factor, a few months back I responded to someone elses thread on steam about brightness and the short of it was... 'An 80s incandescant flash lamp had a range of 116~163W peak lumens, meanwhile my monitor set a 42 of 100 brightness measured only 120 lumens, but if my monitor was set to 100 of 100 brightness it could hit 267 lumens. I've no idea what modern table lightning measures at as a comparison. When (non-oled) monitors are set at a higher brightness their blackpoint [how dark black is] rises.. meaning a really dark shade of black might be a few steps higher in shade. As an example I thought pbw45bs' streams were too dim when played with lowest room lighting but in reality his monitors blackpoint was higher than mine.' [i]lowering room lighting compensates the rise in blackpoint when brightness is cranked[/i] The other thing touched on was detail crushing brightness, if/when we switch to HDR.. perhaps we can still have the brightness but not get the color washed away.. which may be SDRs fault. Perhaps it is a coincidence... ... that TPA is set to 50% by default. I don't think this excuses farsight on crushing details when pre-80s tables are the topic, should easily fall within the current SDR format. [i]I don't major in lighting or anything, I could be well offbase, so if anyone else knows any better please enlighten us[/i] [/QUOTE]
