Lux vs Nits - My "lux" reader appears to be reading as nits. Please explain to me
Hello all. I have a lux meter which appears to be reading the same as nit ratings for various mobile displays. For example, a phone is advertised as having a display brightness of 500 nits. I check with my lux meter and it reads about 500. But according to what I've read, lux is 3.14x nits. Which if it's true, then the display is really 160 nits? Which I think can't be the case, as that's well below specs and quite dim, yet the display is very bright. This isn't just with a single mobile, but with many.
Can anyone explain this in layman's terms what's up?
