It really is scary to think of how much suffering in the world ultimately comes down to “you prefer something other than what I prefer, and my decisions make total sense to me, therefore there must be something fucking wrong with you, you…. you OTHER!” That, and the implied bundling of opinions that you get because of things like political parties.
I absolutely love OLED-style dark themes with white text on a pure black background, day or night. When I grab my wife’s phone for something the light mode looks strange to me because I am so used to dark mode, but to think that’s bad is silly.
I agree that good picture quality at very low brightness is very important, but for light-emitting screens the capacity for high max brightness is a practical usability need for some outdoor settings.
Yes high max brightness is important. But low min brightness is too. The problem is that reviewers and spec sheets emphasize the former and not the latter. So manufacturers often disregard the latter as improving it doesn’t translate to better sales. Some even use terrible PWM.
