Hello, please what do it mean the XDR display on the IPhone 11 Pro? I’ve read some articles on the web and there is explained that a display can 1200 nits. It mean on the Sun?

Somewhere, I found information that maybe a fireball is passing through the universe and the universe is black, so OLED displays the perfect black and the fireball lights up to 1,200. How can I try XDR in practice?
 
XDR is yet another Apple marketing term. It stands for "extreme dynamic range.
Supposedly the Pro displays now have a 2 million:1 contrast ratio. That's pretty extreme. But it's taking into account the infinite black of the OFF OLED pixels to get that number, so it's a bit of a stretch.
The only way you're going to see the full dynamic range on the display is by viewing very contrasty pictures you take with that phone. In "normal, professional" photography, extreme contrast is to be avoided, so having a display with a 2,000,000 to 1 contrast ratio is kinda not useful except for viewing poorly lit photographs.
