That wouldn't be a real comparison. The backlight has to pass
through the LCD and a couple of reflective surfaces,
which means that about one sixth of the backlight's
brightness will reach your eyes if you look at it through
the LCD / glass pane / another glass pane / touchscreen.
If you want to compare brightness, you need to either
look directly at both backlights, or put both backlights
into Newtons.
