> 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.

How about increasing the brightness of just the text, and not the background, like https://kidi.ng/wanna-see-a-whiter-white?

No reason to crank up the brightness for the background as far as I can see.

Well yes, even that would be useful if working with text. (although I’m sure some will also be doing some graphic work)

But this can’t be done either. That website has the whiter-than-white text because it chose to do that. It’s known that every app has the possibility of rendering HDR content at more than 500 nits.

The problem I was trying to solve is how to do that from the outside, on apps that haven’t implemented HDR logic (which is about all of them)
