High brightness sunlight readable monitors are typically used commercially in kiosks, vending systems, pipeline inspection systems, outdoor digital signage and advertising, in sports stadiums, in military vehicles, on ships for navigation systems, on bus and train platforms, and much more.
The nit (symbol: nt) is a non-SI name also used for this unit (1 nt = 1 cd/m 2). [1] The term nit is believed to come from the Latin word nitēre, "to shine". [2] As a measure of light emitted per unit area, this unit is frequently used to specify the brightness of a display device. The sRGB spec for monitors targets 80 cd/m 2. [3]

Brightness is the term for the subjective impression of the objective luminance measurement standard (see Objectivity (science) § Objectivity in measurement for the importance of this contrast). The SI unit for luminance is candela per square metre (cd/m 2). A non-SI term for the same unit is the nit.
Brightness is an attribute of visual perception in which a source appears to be radiating or reflecting light. [1] In other words, brightness is the perception elicited by the luminance of a visual target. The perception is not linear to luminance, and relies on the context of the viewing environment (for example, see White's illusion).
While apparent magnitude is a measure of the brightness of an object as seen by a particular observer, absolute magnitude is a measure of the intrinsic brightness of an object. Flux decreases with distance according to an inverse-square law , so the apparent magnitude of a star depends on both its absolute brightness and its distance (and any ...
A truly dark sky has a surface brightness of 2 × 10 −4 cd m −2 or 21.8 mag arcsec −2. [9] [clarification needed] The peak surface brightness of the central region of the Orion Nebula is about 17 Mag/arcsec 2 (about 14 milli nits) and the outer bluish glow has a peak surface brightness of 21.3 Mag/arcsec 2 (about 0.27 millinits).

Stars in binary systems (or other multiples) are listed by their total or combined brightness if they appear as a single star to the naked eye, or listed separately if they do not. As with all magnitude systems in astronomy , the scale is logarithmic and inverted i.e. lower/more negative numbers are brighter.
