Mac Pro 16 2019 display brightness

Just bought a MP 16". But I'm noticing that the overall brightness of the display is not as bright compared to my good old Macbook Pro 2009. At half brightness levels on both the 2009 is far brighter, and doesn't drain the battery. Anyone else notice this? Is this a Retina thing? I have the AMD Radeon Pro 5500M.

Ever figure this out?


I'm noticing the same thing comparing my new 2019 MBP 13" to my old 2014 MBP 13": the older 2014 screen gets noticeably brighter than the 2019.


I've turned off Automatically Adjust Brightness and True Tone, and it's then a bit brighter... but the 2014 is still brighter and easier to see in sunlight.


I've asked friends their opinion, and they instantly agree: the 2014 obviously gets brighter.
