What model is that OLED? Looks more like an LCD and photoshopped too or you have a potato for a camera.
That proves my point, it’s a 48” LG CX.
Both pictures taken with a 12 pro max.
Depending on the conditions of the picture overexposure is going to show like bloom

The bloom spills off the edge of the TV, so you can tell it’s a camera artifact. In many sample images of the new iPad Pro posted here, most of the bloom stops at the bezel of the display, so it’s obviously a display issue and not a camera issue.
Nice try.

If you look at the other pictures bloom doesn't extend beyond the display into the rest of the scene. Show us the original image taken in auto without filter applied.
Ok, after checking out the ”disastrous” screen shadow, I’ve come up with a workaround:
Of course, you might go blind if you use this device at full brightness in a dark room. Even then, you need to have a pure white object against a pure black background.
This doesn’t even rise to the level of non-issue. It’s more in the realm of hater’s fantasy.
- Don’t use iPad indoors with the brightness at maximum when viewing white objects against a black background.

Along with short sellers and “social engineering” marketing firms hired by the competition.
Only temporary for use cases that work better with traditional LCD like reading and drawing then switch back to mini-LED mode for playing videos.
? yes. This basically fixed it for me. (the blooming). I had updated to 14.5.1 but I did a restart now and its fixed
thank you ! ?
I noticed shadow gate almost immediately, I think being so used to a ‘sharp’ edge of the display makes this more obvious…

Maybe my issue was different. What I had was when I was in a dark room with the iPad in dark more and I would go into an app like notes, the UI elements and white texts had a grey box around them and when I drew with the pencil like a dot or a line a large grey area would appear around it.
I had updated to 14.5.1 but not restarted the iPad.
the shadow around the edges is a non issue for me
Well i'm happy for you but I couldn't live with such a "defect" personally since I sit on my ipad in darkmode most evenings, clearly the screens are not that good of a quality if they produce this halo effect and the subreddit is exploding with more and more carefully taken pictures.
Waiting for some youtube vids on this matter now , I really don't want to pay premium to become a beta tester for new tech.
Actually, it’s visible in a pitch black room with brightness set to lowest setting as well.
Do you have one in front of you? I can honestly say that I have a hard time noticing it even when my face is 5 cm from the screen looking for it with normal brightness for a dark room. So unless I crank the brightness high enough that I get blinded in the dark room I don’t see it all during normal usage, and at that point I get halo effects just by being blinded on the OLED screen on the iPhone as well.
Mine is on it's way unfortunately but I have been reading and reading about this issue and people reporting seeing it with even 15-20% brightness in dark enviroments on white / black backgrounds which let's face it is how we use it during night time.
And it's pretty clear around UI elements in youtube app and netflix , because i've seen dozen of pictures of them already.
That’s exactly how I was using it last night, none to very very small noticable bloom at normal brightness levels for the lighting conditions in the room. Wouldn’t have picked up on it unless I specifically went looking for it.
Pictures have a hard time properly convey how blooming or backlight bleeding looks in person, it is almost impossible to do it.
Exact same thing will happen on my oled tv, the camera will blow out the whites straight away.
