Re: [screen-wake-lock] Need maximum screen brightness mode (#129)

For Netflix's part, we think granular brightness control for video could be useful. For desktop monitors, brightness controls are not always easily accessible so offering an obvious easy control could have value. Most laptops have easily accessible keys for screen brightness, so in that context offering users another control may not be as valuable in that context.

The brightness setting that is appropriate for desktop computing may not be the same one that is best for video viewing, especially if the user has an HDR display and is going to turn down the ambient lighting for viewing, be further from the display etc.

And, then, on the use-case for barcode readers on mobile devices, 100% brightness may not be the best setting if the device has a very bright HDR display. It may just be much brighter then necessary, rather than functionally too bright, but the device is potentially going to be in that state for a while as the people ahead order their frappa-mocha-whatevers. Perhaps if there is to be a boolean option for that use-case it should be spelled out that what is required is that the brightness / contrast be set such that a barcode can be easily read in a wide range of environments.
