edit: However, since you mentioned surface area, it's probably not quite the same experience since all the lumens from a bulb are concentrated in a very small space whereas it's spread over the whole screen with a monitor. Still, it's too bright with the possible exception of an office environment (generally better lit than an average room in a home). This is just my opinion I reckon... My current non-HDR monitor (250 nits rated) is too bright except in the daytime with sun coming in.
I think it's time to get some decent HDR panels to the market without being crazy expensive.
IS coming out soon and according to spec supports HDR 600 but the price is listed at $1099.99. so not cheap for a 1440 panel.
Peak luminance of 600 cd/m2
You won't have 600 cd/m2 on a dark scene. Say you have a bright sky you might end up with elements of the scene that should reach 600 cd/m2. So HDR600 doesn't mean your display will always output at 600 cd/m2, comparison to a lightbulb is invalid here.
True HDR effect is about showing your lowest luminance together with the peak without screwing up anything in between.
