The maximum brightness of a monitor for photographers(!) is not really a criterion, as image editing should ideally be done (with appropriate room lighting) at a display brightness of 110-120 cd/m².

Yes for photos if you are going to print you need to turn down the display otherwise your prints come out too dark. Also a matte display tends to be better by avoiding reflections it's easier on the eyes.

The thing with sRGB vs Adobe RGB particularly for blues, you don't know what you are missing until you edit on an Adobe RGB monitor and convert to sRGB. The blues really are much nicer.

And converting it from Adobe RGB --> sRGB is a real pita, realising the nice blue color is almost completely gone.

The Web runs on sRGB and many print shops work only in sRGB. For my needs of online display and creating large format (30 inch) prints, sRGB is the best choice.

I personally don't see any need for an Adobe color space monitor or workflow.

What happens now is most browsers assume the image is sRGB if it's not tagged, but if tagged in Adobe RGB they will render it as such. I have a printer at home which is capable of printing Adobe RGB colours and specialised print shops will also take Adobe RGB images as they have printers that can reproduce those colours. Of course if have a monitor that is restricted to sRGB colours you can't see the benefit as the monitors cannot reproduce the colours, I can assure you the colour difference is real on blue tropical water.

What is color? If 99% of PC and Phone users can only see sRGB, then i don't see the point. Why do i need to see colors that nobody else can?

Artists, film makers, publishers can deal with this for their needs. The rest of us manage to cope with sRGB.
