Apparently having content viewed/mastered at 10,000 nits is very good for HDR. It's not too bright, just far more lifelike. I sense that within couple years there will be some type of 10,000nit mastered content on Itunes using the AV1 codec. Maybe 4K and even some 8K titles. For UHD Blu-Ray, I suppose studios will start mastering the discs on/for 10,000 nit displays too.
We're reaching the 10,000 nit mark at the very beginning of the 8K era. Much sooner than I anticipated, and it's blowing everyone's minds.

AND, I anticipated 12-bit displays would come around the time 8K displays got closer to reality. But I haven't seen any mention of 12-bit.
10,000 nits isn't really ready for prime time when some 2016 - 17 displays still having a hard time with 1000 or 4000 nit containers. So I hope more things happen & time passes before any content gets released at 10,000 nits max.
