OT: A study of LCD display luminance

For a simulation, I wanted to include some LCD displays. Problem was, I didn't know how bright they actually were. So I did an HDR photographic study of mine. I thought some of you might be interested, so I've put it up online. If you are interested, you can see the results here:

Randolph,

Thank you very much for sharing nice study. It's interesting results. Last
time, I relied on the LCD manufacturer brightness specs or nit number to
model and I was not sure whether it was a correct method.
Additionally, in your first image, may i know how you set the brightness
setting in your computer? was it in maximum/100% brightness setting?

Thank you,

Eddy Santosa

Yeah Randolph, this is very cool, and a nice application of HDRI in the real world. Might be worth posting a link to this on the HDRI list as well.

Randolph,

You're welcome!

I believe I set it to full contrast and left the brightness at my usual comfortable level. (My notes are incomplete. Woe, woe!)

The display is about three years old, and the fluorescent tubes in it are dimmer than the were when it was new. So a new one would be somewhat brighter.
