What should I look for when choosing a screen for a new device, besides factors like HDR support, refresh rate, and color accuracy? Any smart recommendations? Should I prioritize screens with calibration options? How do I evaluate low-light performance? Would love to hear your experiences or source recommendations on this!

So what about **brightness (nits) and HDR brightness**? These values are especially critical if you plan to watch HDR content. For everyday use, 250-350 nits may be sufficient, but for HDR, 600 nits and above deliver a better experience—especially in outdoor or bright environments. However, excessively high brightness can cause eye strain, so check how well the auto-brightness feature works in models that have it. Black levels and contrast ratio also directly impact HDR performance; OLEDs have an advantage here, but also keep an eye out for blooming in LED-backlit displays.
