How does a 700:1 contrast ratio make 450 ANSI lumens "look" brighter?

The simple answer is, the higher the difference between black and white, the brighter spread of colors you are effectively able to see. Ex. Viewing a typical blue-sky scene with a contrast of 300:1 will look significantly brighter and more vivid when viewed at 700:1 contrast.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
