About Candelas per square metre
The candela per square metre (cd/m²), informally called the nit, is the SI coherent unit of luminance. A typical laptop screen is 250-500 cd/m²; an HDR TV reaches 1 000-4 000 cd/m²; a clear blue sky is ~3 000-8 000 cd/m². Luminance is the photometric quantity directly perceived as brightness. 1 cd/m² = 1 nit.
About Millilamberts
The millilambert (mL) equals 10/π cd/m² ≈ 3.183 cd/m². Historically used in the United States to specify projection screen luminance and oscilloscope phosphor brightness. A projection screen with luminance 1 mL ≈ 3.18 cd/m². Largely superseded by cd/m² and foot-lamberts in modern display standards. 1 mL = 10/π cd/m².
