What are Nits?

Published: March 3, 2009

The brightness of an LCD screen is measured in units called nits. If an LCD display is rated at 300 nits, or 300 cd/m2, it means that the ratio between the whitest white and blackest black is 300 to 1. The greater the number of nits indicated, the greater the brightness of the screen.

The LCD panels in our iOne-GX31 & iOne-945 units have a White Luminance(Brightness) value of 300 cd/m2, or 300 nits.
The iOne-MP171 and iOne-MP172 has a White Luminance(Brightness) value of 380 cd/m2, or 380 nits.
The i-One M661S unit has a White Luminance(Brightness) value of 300 cd/m2, or 300 nits.
