    Does anyone know the nits of the older Z (Z1190x or higher) vs. the new Z21 at HD resolution?

    I'm trying to understand if the brightness is any different.

    Thanks. I wonder what "average" means. Is the max brightness setting lower than the Z1?

    I find the Z2 brighter than my Z1.
    (both 1920x1080 on max brightness)

    Average brightness means the average value of brightness measured in different corners of the screen. MAX brightness denotes the maxium britghness measured in a part of the screen.

    So yes the 1600x900 screen in Z2 is less bright on MAX brightness setting than Z1 1600x900.

    With the 1920x1080 apparently its the opposite.
