iPad Pro Earth at Night in Color: Coral Reef (S2, E4) a must watch on the new 12.9!

[applematic]

Just finished watching this episode on the new 12.9 and it was freaking gorgeous! A must watch on the new display!

Any other recommendations of “must watch” content to show off the new display??

I watch those shows on the device called TV.

Search YouTube for Dolby vision or 4K HDR 60. This screen is noticeably popping compared to my 2018.

That show/ep looks fantastic on my OLED TV

I seriously don’t know how people manage to actually enjoy content on that tiny screen for extended period. I hardly even watch YouTube videos on my phone.

Oh yeah got myself a new 65” LG last month. It’s freaking awesome with Dolby Atmos supported sound system. My living room feels new.

Are you referring to the 12.9 inch iPad Pro as a ”tiny screen”?

Is it a mini-LED TV?

OLED. No blooming and it’s plenty bright in my case. Don’t need 1000 nits I will need sunglasses.

What service has this show?

Yes. There is a reason cinema halls exist. 12.9 is tiny for an immersive experience. If by some chance he is not referring to 12.9 as tiny, then I am referring to it as tiny.

Let's call things for what they are. The best Harley is not going to take 4 people from point A to point B in an air-conditioned environment with butt-warmer seats and surround sound audio along with a trunk to hold luggage and picnic baskets like a sedan would.

How do I purchase movies or rent them on iTunes to take advantage of an HDR display?

Depends on how far you are from the screen. Yes, a few feet away a 55" screen is going to be far better than a 12.9" screen. A few inches away, however, the 12.9" screen will be just as immersive. Possibly even more so if it has a better screen.

What service has this show?

I Googled it: it's an Apple TV+ show.

My iPad in my hands or lap with earbuds is relatively larger, easier to hear and more immersive than my big screen across the room.

LOL exactly… I get that there are BIGGER screens out there but this is the iPad forum on Macrumors so 12.9 inch is actually the BIGGEST/MOST IMMERSIVE option? 😂

How are you going to watch 2 hr movies while holding ipad? I can see if you’re in a coffee shop on a desk or in a car watching sitcom but I don’t see myself holding 12.9 iPad for long period.

 

[Robcat101]

Are we going to end up in some kind of variation on the Father Ted style “small…far away…” perspective confusion?

(Apologies if that reference doesn’t land).

I use the Magic Keyboard, which props it up. Or in bed I have the tablet sitting on my chest and my hand is just keeping it propped up.

I wouldn’t be actually holding it for that long, a smart folio style case or MK allows for it to just sit on your lap or body if laying down.

 

[Kyle76]

I like to prop it on my knee or hold it in both hands with my elbows resting on the arms of my chair. I rarely just hold it without some kind of support.

I completely missed the 12.9 bit!
