1. A display device, comprising:
a display screen to display content, wherein:
the display device has a first mode and a second mode;
a first mode brightness scale is associated with a first maximum brightness value that is different than a second maximum brightness value for a second mode brightness scale;
the brightness scales each define a range of available brightness values for the display screen for a respective mode; and
the brightness scales define the same relative range from a minimum setting to a maximum setting such that the maximum setting is associated with the first maximum brightness value in the first mode brightness scale and the maximum setting is associated with the second maximum brightness value in the second mode brightness scale; and
a display controller to select a brightness scale for the display device based on a mode of the display device.
