Disappointed by the new Pro displays

Not true. The iPhone XS/Max displays are the most colour accurate ever on a mobile device according to Displaymate. OLED TVs can be calibrated and end up at a near perfect setting, better than any LCD.

Random Samsung or whatever OLEDs in store mode, yeah, those are as accurate as a kid with a box of crayons.

120hz is very important for a good drawing experience, and LCD has WAY better color accuracy than OLED on everything other than pure black, also important for photo/video editing.

Okay, it's nice they went from 10.5 inches to 11. But still an LCD.....er, excuse me.....still a Liquid Retina screen.

Also STILL 264 ppi. Revolutionary in 2012......ancient in 2018.

I'm probably sticking with my 10.5 inch Pro. Or getting a Galaxy Tab S4---10.5 inch, OLED, 288 ppi.

One Big thing you are missing About the ppi , Apple Uses 264ppi full RGB subpixels (3 Subpixels Per Pixel) and samsung OLED is 288 on Pentile (2 sub pixels per Pixel) So even though the Samsung has More Pixels its Less dense then the iPad

Do you have a source on that? Because I researched that a while back and it seems the Tab S4 is non pentile full RGB stripe. Their phones are pentile as are OLED iPhones.

Samsung Galaxy Tablets use RGB stripe pixels, not PenTile.

Apple has not disclosed this information ? This is classified information ? Where did you read and learn about this information ? Do you have any link to back up what you are saying ?

Looks like there was a bigger jump from the 1. gen iPP to the 2. gen as it brought Wide Color, True Tone and ProMotion. This time they only cut the corners (which is really bad for my remote work with Windows VMs) from the same old LCD display....

The first pro had true-tone. It’s the device the tech luanched on.

Why do people keep saying this? If you understood how each type of display worked, you’d understand why this is completely wrong.

People still think of the Samsung displays from years ago that were specifically calibrated to be saturated when someone mentions OLED, and that’s why they think the colors aren’t accurate.
 
I was not expecting Apple to do anything with the display. The display is fine. The galaxy tablets have always had better displays. Imagine if they put OLED on these iPads. They would cost even more.

I'll take the 120hz ProMotion over OLED on the Galaxy anyday

Agreed. OLED is overrated as far as I can tell. My iPad Pro screen feels nicer to use than my iPhone Max because of the buttery smooth ProMotion.
 
OLED displays on anything but smartphones is a terrible idea. OLED is simply not great when you show static images such as UI for longer periods. Even more so with the Pro models where people use them for work.

And then there is the godawful price bump if Apple decided to go with OLED for iPads...

They don’t have to be expensive. Samsung’s galaxy tab S series are oled and that’s only £600. However Apple would charge a premium for it.
 
People are missing the point of an Apple calibrated LCD screen on the Pro. It is perfect for artists and geared more for work than a consumption device. The LCD screen is fine and there is really no need for an OLED.

Think I save the €2500 (for a full blown 12.9 iPP with all accessories) for the next generation with OLED or micro LED....

you will be waiting a very long time especially for micro LED. Once micro LED hits Apple watch then it will be 3-4 years away from an iPad. So, my guess is about 6-7 years (and thats generous) for micro LED to be on an iPad.

Personally, I don't like OLED. The technology is not that great as people make it. Micro LED on the other hand will be awesome but thats sooo far away. Until then, we can keep LCD :)
