I think there is a unit error here. I believe that sunlight on white paper is about 1.6cd/cm^2, while consumer monitors are about 300cd/m^2 (meter not cm). Essentially, you want the brightness to match the environment.

There is indeed. Oops. I'd delete - no point polluting the Internet with more bad info - but time window has expired.

Thank you for the correction!
