LCD brightness: 250cd/m2 vs 400cd/m2

[velocci]

hi all, is there a big difference between a brightness of 250cd/m2 vs 400cd/m2?

Yes, 60% - 250 cd/m2 is low and if viewed in a dimly lit (almost dark) room, it will be ok. I would go for the 400 cd/m2 which is the max brightness of an older laptop.

Regarding brightness, higher is not always better. However, you can always turn down the brightness to the desired level.

The difference is noticeable, but not thaaat much. In my opinion, a higher contrast ratio can make more difference than a higher brightness.
