HDR Real Scene Peak Brightness - Measurement for brightness for HDR sets

Samsung KS-8500 (Ultra HD Premium certification aka 'the alliance' = 467 cd/m2
M series = 310 cd/m2

source is rtings.com

50% brighter is not just a couple of nits....

Again there is nothing wrong with M-series. There is better (yes more expensive) options that are better at HDR. All I am trying to point out is if the primary use is for watching UHD blurays, I would recommend to my clients stretching the budget if possible.
