I think we need monitors with more dynamic range.

No thanks, because they add more light at the top not complete darkness at the bottom. The lantern shining in your eyes just gets brighter.

Incidentally this is how LCDs became so bright. So they can claim better contrast.

An OLED HDR1000 10-bit display can go from 0 to 1000 peak nit brightness with 10 bits per channel of color differences. Is that not good enough for you? It’s better than we’ve had for a long time with our 5 or 8 bit monitors that peak at like 250 nit.
