Are these Philips Momentum monitor brightness ratings accurate?

[King Mustard]

I am looking for a 32" 4K high refresh rate monitor.

These are the main ones I have found between £750-900:

• Philips Momentum 32M1N5800A (500 cd/m2)
• Philips Momentum 329M1RV (500 cdm2)
• Gigabyte M32U (350 cdm2)
• Acer Nitro XV2 XV322QK KVbmiiphuzx (350 cdm2)
• Acer Predator XB3 XB323QKNV bmiiphuzx (350 cdm2)
• AOC Agon AG324UX (350 cdm2)
• Gigabyte Aorus FI32U (350 cdm2)

As you can see, the Philips displays are far brighter than the others on the market.

Are they accurate?

Brightness specs like that are generally pretty reliable, although do you really need that level of brightness for a desktop monitor? Most people would want to run at 120 - 200 cd/m2

My Gigabyte AD27QD is 400 cd/m2 and I have always ran it at full brightness.

350 cd/m2 I am fine with, but I couldn't deal with a monitor specced much less.

Wow you must be in a very bright room or be wearing sunglasses!! That’s pretty extreme brightness for a desktop monitor. Is that really not too bright?! You’re not doing anything weird like reducing brightness slider in windows/software are you?
