TVs and brightness sensitivity
I am personally a bit sensitive to watching really bright screens. Not an extreme sensitivity, but I find really bright screens a bit uncomfortable to look at.
I currently have a pretty old Sharp AQUOS 46" (from around 2010 I think). It is rated at 450 nits.
I actually have no issues with its image performance overall, especially in a dark room which is where I do most gaming and movie watching. It even supports 75Hz (I use this for gaming), and 72Hz for 24fps content.
It seems to me that new HDR tvs are relying on boosting to extreme brightness levels in order to get the greater contrast range, and so I'm worried that if I buy a new TV I will just find it way too bright. Does anyone have comments on this issue? I know that an OLED would probable be better, but since I use this mostly for gaming and as a PC monitor, not a good idea.
I guess it may also be helpful to know, how do the top LCD TVs perform when local dimming and HDR are disabled?
