Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

If your friend's monitor has a brightness of 550 nits and yours is not as bright, it is safe to assume that your monitor has a lower value. Option A) of 250 nits is the most reasonable option given that it falls lower than your friend's value but still within a reasonable range for an LCD display. Option B) of 750 nits is too high and unlikely to be a value for an older monitor, while option C) of 550 nits is not possible as it is the same value as your friend's monitor. Option D) is incorrect as the nit is indeed a measurement of visible light intensity.
