Laptop screen brightness specifications

I seem to have a hard time finding any laptop screen specifications other than size and resolution. Specifically I am looking for brightness specs on the Lenovo, Dell and Acer laptops.

Where can one find them?

 

If they don't list it, then the brightness is at market standard, which is 200-250 nits if I recall, as Fujitsu default screens are 300-350.

 

this is a mystery that befuddles a lot of people

When buying a stand alone monitor you get to see and compare specs such as brightness (cd/m² . contrast ratios (4000:1), pixel pitch (0.282 mm), response time (8ms) and resolutions

Laptop screens almost never show any of these details except res and sometimes response time and brightness in the measure of nits (which is same as candella per square meter) and anywhere from 250 to 300nits is the standard

All you can really do is continue to look for and read reviews and especially look for comparison reviews from one laptop to another

 

Looking at the notebook screen specs for Samsung, LC Philips, and AUO panels, I think the standard is still hovering around 200 nits for most notebooks.

Interesting that all three manufacture a 13.3" panel rated for 250 nits (Macbook?), and Samsung and AUO have a 15.4" WXGA+ at 300/350 nits (Macbook Pro?). Seems Apple has a lot of influence, if i'm not mistaken, both those particular resolution screen sizes started production specifically for the Intel Macs.

For Thinkpads, the Tabook includes the brightness of the screen for the different Thinkpad models. Link to it can be found here.

Dell states the brightness for the D620/D630 and ATG D620, but doesn't seem to include that info for their other laptops.

You can get a fairly good idea by matching the screen size and resolution to the different screen specs from Samsung, LG-Philips and AUO. Unless reviews specifically state a really bright screen, you can assume the notebook doesn't use one of those super bright 500 nit panels.
