Some devices may not be able to display 900 nits. To compare brightnesses, pause the video.

You will only see differences if you have 900nits display.
If you have 400, you will see everything the same.
if you have 600, wou will see the differences between 400 vs 600
If you have 900, you will see all the diffrences.

On my iPhone with the display brightness at 100%. I can’t hardly see a difference between the three. May need to check on my MacBook Pro or LG oled but the LG can’t show the 900nit. I’m starting to think that even 400 or 600 not is better than originally thought.
