Nits: What they are and why they matter

What is a Nit?

The term “nit“ is often used in the consumer electronics and display industries to describe screen brightness. But what exactly is a nit?

Nits are a unit of measurement used to describe luminance. The higher the nit rating, the brighter the display. The chart below describes the brightness of various nit values.

Sonagi Outdoor TVs are engineered to deliver 1000 nits or more, making them exceptionally bright, even under direct sunlight. ‍Because our TVs are specifically built for the outdoors, they are perfect for your patio, pool area, or open-air lounge. Our engineers understand that that the brightness of a screen can directly impact the viewing experience, especially outside under direct sun.

Ready for HDR

HDR (High Dynamic Range) is a popular feature in today’s TVs. To properly display HDR content, a TV needs a high enough nit rating, enabling it to show very bright and very dark parts of an image simultaneously. By Ultra HD Premium standards, HDR TVs should boast at least 1000 nits. You can rest easy knowing that every Sonagi Outdoor TV is HDR-ready. Dark scenes will look more detailed and vivid, while bright highlights will stand out against deep blacks.
