Just got the new 11 inch and where there is extremely bright white (picture attached) I see what seems like blooming. And it almost has a bit of a hue. I may be crazy - Has anyone else seen this on their unit when playing video?
This is not blooming, it’s the fact that you have glowing pixels that emit light surrounded by darkness. That’s just how our eyes work. It’s the same with my OLED TVs.
Blooming on Mini LED and LCDs with dimming zones displays is different, the affected area is larger and it looks like a grayish splotch beneath the screen.
In fact, I’ve had OLED TVs for a while and when people talked how they didn’t have blooming compared to, say, TVs with dimming, I was always a bit surprised… Until I got my Mini LED iPad Pro, which was the first screen with dimming zones that I saw. It wasn’t terrible (in fact, it’s an amazing screen) - but only then did I realize what blooming actually is. And your example is not it - it’s just regular… erm - glow
