Does anyone know how to read or measure the brightness of a screen? I wasn’t able to get the reading the author has from Console.app

#32The iOS app Radiance+ [1] allows you to take an existing photo and generate an extended dynamic range image that has this effect. The results are compelling where the whites are far brighter than the system white.
You need iPhone 12 or better to support.

#33I was amazed by how bright this page could get, on both Macbook and iPhone — https://kidi.ng/wanna-see-a-whiter-white/ — and I want to figure out how to use this superwhite on my interactive tutorials. But as far as I can see, canvas, svg, and webgl can't access it.
For anybody like me not 'getting it', the for me at least on my m1 pro macbook pro needed to use this in Safari, chrome unfortunately wasn't showing the white text.

Nuts, I clicked the brightness toggle to bring it lower than 100% and it was already at 50%

I’m not trying to draw HDR content. I want to increase to overall UI brightness (basically, make the brightness of where backlight LEDs go past the software defined limit) I’m testing Apple’s claim of 1000 nits sustained brightness which led many people to believe that they can finally use their laptop in direct sunlight without squinting at the screen. I’m aware of thermal limitations and that even sustained might n…
As a suggestion to help you with your quest - try polarised sunglasses. I used them with my M1 mac this summer quite successfully! The macbook screen is polarised so that the screen light goes straight through the sunglasses, while the surrounding sunlight gets dimmed.
What specific glasses are these? I'd guess that the direction of the polarisation of the glasses makes a big difference

Same with Edge/Brave, however they all support HDR videos on Youtube, so I'm not sure what's the reason.
Additionally, the site claims it works (worked?) on 2020 MBA M1.

I think polarized sunglasses are always vertically polarized, to block glare off horizontal surfaces.

There seems to be a bug specific to safari, that's why it doesn't "work" on anything else.

By that logic, WebUSB is a bug specific to Blink-based browsers, since it doesn't work on anything else?
