Je sais que vous allez tirer votre propre conclusion.

word reference only differs them in the same way

so when you say the screen is bright as in its blinding you, you should use brillant?

in that case it shouldn't make sense to say la chambre brillante unless the room itself is producing light?

but if light is coming in from a window you would use lumineuse?

[neat bloom]

Yeah, might be able to use it as a metaphor? But generally, briller = to emit light, brillant = emitting light

[atomic helm]

Alright

[atomic helm]

so in the case of a bright screen, you would say l'écran est brillant rather than lumineux?

because the screen is emitting the light

if true, what would l'écran est lumineux mean?

[neat bloom]

I think I'd say "l'écran brille" generally
Lumineux, to me, sounds like there's light hitting it/reflecting off of it, perhaps?

[vale falcon]

La luminosité est haute/élevée is the most natural way
