About Kilocandelas per square metre
The kilocandela per square metre (kcd/m²) equals 1 000 cd/m². The scale for HDR displays and high-brightness monitors: VESA DisplayHDR 1000 requires 1 kcd/m² peak; professional HDR mastering monitors reach 1-4 kcd/m²; an overcast sky measures ~3-8 kcd/m²; a fluorescent tube ~7 kcd/m². 1 kcd/m² = 10³ cd/m².
About Meganits
The meganit (Mcd/m²) equals 10⁶ cd/m². The scale for extreme light sources: outdoor LED video walls at peak brightness reach 3-10 Mcd/m²; laser exit apertures are typically 10-10 000 Mcd/m²; the solar disc at zenith has luminance ≈1 600 Mcd/m² (1.6×10⁹ cd/m²). Used in laser safety and high-power illumination. 1 Mcd/m² = 10⁶ cd/m².
