NIT is a measurement of light output off of video displays, notably LCD panels.

One nit stands for the level of illumination as seen on a uniformly lit panel where the sum total of light reflecting off of or emitted by one square meter (about 10-3/4 square feet) of panel or screen area is approximately equal to the sum total of light (about 12-1/2 lumens) given off by a lit candle (equal to the light output of a candle with certain standard characteristics).

A measure of luminance equal to one candela per square meter. The term "nit", used mostly in the US, comes from the Latin word "nitere", meaning "to shine".
