Question

nvme display tn va ips brightness

Sep 26, 2017 11:03AM PDT

i recently bought an ips display that is 250 in brightness but it is much brighter than my old va display that is also 250, how bright must a va or tn display be to equal the 250 ips? what about led tvs brightness and picture quality compared to how nice the picture looks for the 250 ips display? pls help ty and i was looking at the alienware, pcs, it offered to hardware one that is nvme but there is " (boot)" next to it, what does this mean? can i use it as a normal hard drive, can i remove this hard drive and install the 960 samsung nvme instead? pls help
i think couple of months ago hp pcs offered gaming computers with nvme but no longer, why is that?

NVME? Can you share a link about this?

https://www.google.com/search?client=opera&q=nvme+display didn't clear that up for me.

As to what I think your question is, I think you are looking to match displays. The accepted method is to get another of the same make and model. If you mix you will instantly see differences not only in brightness but also color and more. Your eyes will not like this.

This will be a yes but answer.

As the color gamut can vary the overall color output is indeed as you guessed but this does not mean the 250 cd/m2 displays will match in appearance. They only match in the measurements. Due to color fidelity and more technical terms one or the other will appear differently than the other.

The only way to get the displays to match is with color calibration which has limitations I don't want to get into and therefore won't.

If we want the displays to look consistent, they have to be from same maker and model are at least the same technologies.
