Seriously, more efficiency is always good, but does anyone actually test monitors for low brightness performance, how good is the color at 100 nits, 50 nits, 10 nits, how low can they go? It's like reviewers have totally forgotten that dark rooms exist.

I mean, bright sunlight is the worst case for contemporary displays, so you usually don't have that. And you don't want to stare in a lamp for most of the time.

I usually have to help with xrandr --brightness and --gamma, even in daylight, because the darn thing is still too bright on it's lowest setting. What's important for me is therefore contrast, not brightness.

I'm more concerned with outdoor signs and billboards at night. There's one near me that's so ridiculously bright that it's hard to drive by there at night.
