Of course, no matter what we are talking about in life, there are always more than just ONE FACTOR to consider. Everyone knows that.
We also know that engineering is often about making compromises to fit our budgets - pros and cons - just like everything else in life.
It comes down to what’s more important to us - our needs and applications. We know that.
Are we willing to give up a little bit of one thing to have more of something else to fit our budgets?
Based on overall picture quality for both SDR and HDR, are we willing to give up some contrast to have more lumens for our budgets?
@Replicant 7 showed those HDR Brightness Ratings because for his budget, he is willing to give up some contrast to have more HDR Brightness for his application. He’s not saying HDR Brightness is ONLY factor to consider.
If someone wants to post some Contrast-Comparison Charts, that would also be great. That would also be one factor, not the only factor.
Based on our experiences, that is the question that each of us has to decide for ourselves, not for anyone else.
