I own a QN90 (sustained 1500 nits at 25%, 750 at 100%) that blows me the fuck away in the dark from a distance, so can't imagine wanting the eye hurt of gaming on something this bright from like three feet :D

I think the results for these monitors  at 10-25% are decent enough, so I imagine they would all be satisfactory in a real-world scenario.

Yea but I do think that not being able to hold above 200 nits is crazy low for $1000 monitor. Even horrid laptops can do 200+ nits consistently and while OLED is obviously miles better than those trash tier screens, I do think that on a day to day basis, $1000 monitors should be able to hold the typical 200+ nits for day to day use and if it's too bright, it can always be adjusted down.

Displays are a shit-show right now. Been looking around for about a year, 4K screens only. Either they're too small (I'm not buying a smaller display than the one I've had for almost 8 years), have poor HDR, or some crazy-ass aspect ratio. Alternately; they simply cost insane amounts (1700-1800$ and up). And then there's burn-in issues with certain panels. It feels like the whole display market is neither here nor there right now. The rest of the build is easier, just waiting for some prices to drop a bit more, but there is actually good hardware to be bought without too many compomises.
