Why my display seems too dimm for a 500nits desplay?

One of the things I was disappointed with initially was the display. It seemed a bit dim compared to other 500 nit displays.

If you are unhappy with yours, check:

• Power settings: It can ‘bug’ if you go from battery saver to other performance modes, not allowing you to change brightness. This will require a reboot
• X-Rite Color assistant: See which mode suits you
• Windows colour profiles: Setting to TPL_1600_Default.ipm as default generally nets a brighter screen
