Are top end HDR 1400 level monitors TOO bright (Hurts?)

[jmc111]

Not seeing a "Display" forum so...

I've seen reviews that show the reviewer wearing sunglasses.
I assumed that the sunglasses were a joke...but now I'm wondering, were they?

Example monitor specs - ASUS ProArt Display PA32UCG-K - 32-inch, 4K, HDR 1400, 1600 nits.

I want to buy top end HDR but if that will cause great discomfort to my eyes in a game (dark area to sunlight) then no.
Needing sunglasses goes beyond "whose eyes are looking at the screen".

Thanks,
