Why do you need maximum brightness in games? It ruins your eyes, kills your vision. Dyac and maximum brightness ruin your eyes. Thus, people become blind by the age of 30 and are forced to buy glasses.
Doctors recommend using a brightness of 150 cd/m².
This is enough to see any objects in games.
You're used to cranking up 1000 cd/m2, it's like a flashlight pointed at your face. You can't use the monitor like that.
Find me one LCD monitors ( IPS/TN ) that show all stuff in dark area or on dull maps correctly with 150 nits or below without you having to strain your eyes to see something and after that, maybe you will be right.
It also depends on your ambient light, your sensitivity to light, your eyes and your vision.
Having low brightness especially for FPS games is just laughable and bad for the focus of your eyes and can reduce your reaction time if you didn't see correctly, anyway having 500~ nits is useless and nobody do that obviously but 400/380~ nits is very good.
Afterwards I know that certain monitors ( mostly with IPS panel ), because of how they work and also the poor contrast ratio, can turn out to be more dazzling than VAs for example which seem less flashy.
Besides, a very simple example, because of the lack of contrast on the Acer XV272UX, even at full brightness, you see less well than an Odyssey G7 in certain places in COD Cold War (for example) all this because the G7 highlights the elements better and no need to increase the brightness to see better but on some monitors you feel obliged to do that.
