This is a video from HDTVTest posted today which shows how bright real-world objects are even in a shade:
I've come across various folks who think their 500-1000 nit TVs are too bright so that it can damage their eyes. I can assure you that it is not so and it absolutely won't happen. If the TV is too bright, within a few seconds your iris will get smaller and allow less light to get in and you'll get adjusted (similar to how you come from dark to sunlight). This is also why it's necessary for a TV to be bright to be able to emulate the real world properly. If most objects in our surroundings are 500-2000 nits we also need the TV to be correspondingly brighter to be able to appear more realistic. This is the whole purpose of HDR.
Just to give a perspective, a normal sunny day in our country is over 50000 nits easy. If your eyes were in danger to 1000-nits of brightness, you would have gone blind in your childhood in the sun.
