i tried other more brightness monitor and... are you sure is good thing?
have you ever notice that high brightness cause high contrast, more than you can see....
i notice that with hdr monitor under sun my eyes give me no real feedback, i found more realistic viewing from normal dr monitor with right sunhood (i have a tunneling sunhood) than hdr monitor without sunhood, be cause my eyes when i see a bright sun close the iris and change the ability to see constrast on picture

High brightness doesn't necessarily mean higher dynamic range if you're simply increasing the backlight when shooting in bright environments. The SmallHD 702 Bright does this very well I think.

high brightness without a sun hood surround mean less contrast, be cause dark is less dark. i tried also smallHD702, dji cristalSky, but to my eyes the contrast is different, and i see in a different way the picture, also for simple focus peaking and to judge picture.

naturally i use false color and more to judge exposure, but often a too contrast picture cause me probleme to judge picture.

High bright with OLED should still have black blacks. On an LCD high bright may well have dark grey blacks.
