Many OLED tvs actually have the feature you’re talking about. The industry term is Total Brightness Limiter (TBL).

TV reviews tend to talk about it as a negative thing though lol. My Sony Bravia does that. My Samsung smartphone from 2012 had that when you put it in “reader” mode but I think they got rid of it with later models.

Edit: some manufacturers also call this “selective dimming” but you have to be careful with that because sometimes it means the panel will do the exact opposite of what you’re asking for and artificially boost the bright areas.

Anyways I would highly recommend rtings.com as they do a much better job of documenting these features than the manufacturers do lol.

I mean yeah, the amount of human soul, creativity, grit and engineering that has gone into making audio compressors and transient designers that can heavily change a signal input without it sounding bad, even arguably sounding better because of the inherent distortion it causes is incomprehensible if you have never gone down the rabbit hole of audio engineering technology.

This is good, also thank you for the recommendation for RTINGS that is good to know!

I don't really want a basic visual brightness limiter like what the Total Brightness Limiter seems like though I am glad the most basic version of this exists in some fashion in monitor technology. What I really want is a more sophisticated, nuanced control where the rate of change of total brightness (as well as localized brightness to some degree ideally) is limited rather than the total absolute brightness being limited. As in, the screen can modulate between a very wide degree of brightness but only so fast, especially if the changes are happening at high brightness levels. Or to put it another way, my eyes are willing to anywhere all the way from the bottom to the top of the mountain, it is the cliffs that abruptly transition between one elevation and another especially at high altitude that my eyes don't like.
