I suppose there is a legitimate need for high brightness on a set marketed for outdoor use. I assume that generally means it will be used for video signs. Indoors, the typical 400 is way too much for me, I usually turn down display backlight brightness to as low as it lets me. Except for special uses (outdoor, etc.), the brightness spec of a display is more about getting the highest spec number than anything else, most panels are just ridiculously bright.
