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 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 Largely superseded by cd/m² and foot-lamberts in modern display standards. 1 mL = 10/π cd/m².
