Display brightness
How is screen brightness measured?
The brightness of screen displays is typically measured in nits (nt), also referred to as candelas per square meter (cd/m2). This measurement tells you how much light is emitted per unit area (1 nt = 1 cd/m2). Screen brightness can vary by device. Based on measurements taken on a selection of units, Pixel Slate’s actual screen brightness can range from 320 nits to more than 400 nits. The range is a result of variations in panel manufacturing, system assembly, and system operating conditions.
