Apple's PROLED XDR Display has a cringy name but incredible specs
With all the fuss about Apple finally releasing a touchscreen MacBook Pro, you may have forgotten about the OLED part.
Apple's latest MacBook Pro models feature an innovative display technology called PROLED XDR, which aims to cater to professionals such as photographers, artists, and video editors. This display stands out from its predecessors due to its high brightness, contrast, and color accuracy, along with a display engine that adapts to each pixel's condition.
The use of tandem OLED technology, first seen in the M4 iPad Pro, promises high peak HDR brightness, reduced burn-in risk, and a longer panel lifespan. Tandem OLED technology also offers better viewing angles and maintains exceptional contrast, which Apple claims to be industry-leading at 10,000,000:1. The display supports a wide range of colors, including P3 (HDR) and Adobe RGB color gamuts, covering 80 percent of the Rec.2020 gamut for HDR video editing and color grading.
Additionally, the advanced display engine controls each pixel's color and luminance at a sub-millisecond level, adapting to environmental factors and compensating for organic pixel degradation over time. The new MacBook Pro models come with a 120Hz ProMotion display for high refresh rates and an optional nano-texture cover glass to reduce glare.
While the $400 base price increase may not be worth it for most users, professionals who create content will find the PROLED XDR display tempting due to its impressive specifications.
