Im kinda confused and dazed!

What is brighter?
Brightness 400 nits or Brightness: 250 cd/m²

I always thought the first one would be brighter because the number is higher, but the second number has an exponent? So waht gives? Wich is brighter?

1 nit is equal to 1 candela per square meter, which is also known as cd/m²

so 400 nits is the same as 400 cd/m²
