Blooming should be recorded with a screen capture and not a camera.If you record with a camera, please include a reference point light source to so it is possible to estimate how well a camera deals with that.

Blooming can not be recorded with a screen capture, as this would only show the content of the video buffer. It is solely visible via in person or an external device like a still or video camera. You have to adjust for local lightning conditions, of course.

Blooming is caused by the mini led arrays in the backlight matrix and is part of this technology. The less led arrays are used the more blooming appears, as the bright led light source covers more surface area with its light compared to the pixels shown.

One can see it here, but it is to be expected. There is nothing you can do but wait for more high resolution mini led screens.

Looks like a broken screen. Not even my M1 12.9 iPad Pro has that much blooming.

Displays are made for eyes not for cameras. Judging with my eyes I can see very little blooming on my 2021 MBP 16 Max. A camera will see more but that is not relevant. "You are testing it wrong or just being a troll".

Looks like a poor camera, not a professional one for sure
Why we have so many topics about this same exact thing? can we merge these topics?!
