So the formula for nits to Lumen is below:

N=L/3.426

614,000 = L / 3.426

2,103,564 Lumens

Bruh...

1m² of the sun is 127,000 Lumen. This TV is at most 2 m². It'd certainly be the last thing you ever saw.

That lab sample must have been a single diode emitting for a nanosecond or something.

Light emitting diode -> smoke emitting diode -> flame emitting diode

Imagine playing CS2 or CoD and getting flashbanged with a screen that bright

Reminds me of this. https://youtu.be/pq7NLMwynYg?t=56

Skit about a man who hasn't used the internet in 20 years.

I checked the linked paper and sadly this brightness reduced the cell lifetime from over 5000h at 100 Nits to just around 5h.

So unless they find some magic, even better chemistry this TV as bright as the sun won't happen.
