This is the sole reason why SkyVue only sells its Outdoor TVs on-line direct, or through a qualified AV company.

Have you ever needed “after the sale” technical help and called the 800 call center of Amazon, a Big Box Store, or an online re-seller? Since nit brightness is 10X more important to outdoor TV viewing than 4K or HDR, this recent change in how nit ratings are advertised is very important to understand before making a purchase. This is 803 nits less or 40% less than a NON HDR TV brightness rating. It was tested by a third party, and test results showed it only produced a maximum of 1197 nits across the screen at the same time. NON HDR TV's are still rated this way.Īll HDR TV screens are rated on their ability to produce a maximum brightness level only on just a limited amount of squares at the same time.Īs an example: a major tv brand advertises a 2,000 nit HDR brightness outdoor tv. No surprise, the entire HDR TV industry saw HDR as an opportunity to change the way they advertised TV brightness.īefore HDR, all TV screens were rated on their ability to produce a sustained level of nit brightness across the TV at the same time.įor example – a 2,000 nit Non HDR TV will produce a sustained brightness level of 2,000 nit across the screen at the same time. HDR steals brightness from one square and takes this brightness to another square. Figuratively speaking, HDR effectively divides the picture into 50-100+ viewing squares. Over the last several years, the consumer electronics market has seen the introduction of HDR or High Dynamic Range.
