TV reviews tend to talk about it as a negative thing though lol.
I mean yeah, the amount of human soul, creativity, grit and engineering that has gone into making audio compressors and transient designers that can heavily change a signal input without it sounding bad, even arguably sounding better because of the inherent distortion it causes is incomprehensible if you have never gone down the rabbit hole of audio engineering technology.

This is good, also thank you for the recommendation for RTINGS that is good to know!
I don’t really want a basic visual brightness limiter like what the Total Brightness Limiter seems like though I am glad the most basic version of this exists in some fashion in monitor technology. What I really want is a more sophisticated, nuanced control where the rate of change of total brightness (as well as localized brightness to some degree ideally) is limited rather than the total absolute brightness being limited. As in, the screen can modulate between a very wide degree of brightness but only so fast, especially if the changes are happening at high brightness levels. Or to put it another way, my eyes are comfortable going anywhere all the way from the bottom to the top of the mountain, it is the cliffs that abruptly transition between one elevation and another especially at high altitude that my eyes don’t like.
