No, I know what ABL and APL means.
ABL is measured at different APL levels from 1-100%! That´s what I often criticized that many reviewers don´t measering ABL at different brightness levels. The 100% and 10% window is not enough to show how the ABL is really working, even 25% and 50% is not enough for daytime viewing conditions. At high APL levels for daytime viewing, you need to measure maximum brightness in SDR higher than APL 25% and that´s the range where LG´s ABL design shines against Sony and Panasonic. The ABL from the 7 Series to the 9er Series was much more stable than the competition resulting in higher average brightness.
A lot of arbitrary statements there, with no basis in reality in my opinion.
Case in point, my GZ2000 is pinned at about 155 nits (peak white) for SDR and I have no issues watching that during the day.
I'd argue that most enthusiasts, who buy OLED panels, are in a similar situation and wouldn't do any critical viewing with daytime levels of ambient light either.
Those with no care for critical viewing and picture accuracy, don't buy OLEDs. They buy LCD light canons, so they can have their retina's seared even in broad daylight.
LGD improved the OLED stack for more efficiency (new blue) and more color purity (exchangig yellow green with new red and green emitter):

My first thought, as was the first reply to the linked post, was if they've achieved 90% of REC.2020, why isn't that the headline? If they'd done that, it really would be an achievement to shout about. And judging by your last link, where the slide states the DCI P3 coverage is still 99%, I.e. what current OLED's achieve, they've not achieved 90% coverage for REC.2020. That being the case, this link doesn't tell us anything.

That's just regurgitating the press release.
Contradictory videos. First two videos (the same video...) mention the new luminous layer makes up blue, red and green light improvements. The CNET video states it's only for green light. So who to believe...
20% more efficient design means, the screen reaching the same brightness than before at 20% less energy and so it can be also brighter than before without harming lifetime.
That is the sense of new more efficient emitters. Reaching longer lifetimes at higher brightness.
According LG Display factory specifications for the new evo panels are APL 25% (SDR) 550nits, APL 100% 185nits. Last generation was 450/150 nits.
Peak brightness will be much higher than that (I guess around 900-1000 nits). All measurements without a heat sink and at better color purity at higher APL levels:

Last year's CX peaked at 700nits. So a 20% increase there, is 840 nits. Some ways short of your assertion. And, the increase in APL only applies, according to LGD's figures, at 25% APL. At 100% APL, the new panel is less bright, by 19%.
The point I'm trying to make is that now, everything is assumption as none of these new displays have been reviewed. And until they have been reviewed, no comparison can be made with any display that's currently on the market.
