there is an image here of someone using an iPad Pro powering a monitor, full res with no black bars.

That is one specific app - a positive example where that one developer took the time to implement an alternative display on the external screen. Only few apps have that. This has been around for a while.

Really? I thought this was news. Someone can delete this thread then. My bad.

What's the name of the app?

I believe they are using LumaFusion and its ability to play a video in work on a monitor. It's not really different than any other video player app using a full monitor display (e.g., nPlayer, VLC, Infuse).

I think Lumafusion although I don’t have working knowledge with it, multiple members of the forum commented on it after the keynote.

I went back and looked again and confirmed it’s LumaFusion.

iMovie for example works like that, Netflix or some apps for streaming videos. Apps for video editing and media consumption

Actually the M1 iPad will output to any monitor. That's one of the big differences in Thunderbolt vs. USB-C... The new iPads will output the "desktop" and any apps to full widescreen resolution.

No, they won't unless the app specifically supports it as above. The home screen will still show in 4:3 aspect ratio until Apple changes.

I believe Procreate in a fashion goes full screen. Meaning your image on the second monitor will be full screen.

Yeah, iOS already has interfaces developers can use to make full use of a monitor's display. Real Racing 3 will also do it.

Anyone know if remote play for the ps4 / ps5 works?

That change is just adding potential additional monitors to the supported list. Wether or not new iPads output anything differently is to be seen.

A desktop view certainly only makes sense in certain situations where for example you have both mouse and keyboard in place, attached, otherwise you’ll require a more finger friendly interface.

Thers no confirmation of this. We have no idea what resolution the iPad is pushing out. This is all speculation

You two would make for a great pair!

True second monitor support would be awesome, not just mirroring

LOL - I guess we will seeeeeee…. Remember what i said.

How can an interface like Thunderbolt take a 4:3 image and properly transform it into a widescreen image? Think of old TV shows in 4:3 format - how could that be transformed into a widescreen image without gross distortions? Thunderbolt won't do any magic transformation on the video it transmits.

Just like any other SOC GPU that can support multiple resolutions on different displays.... LOL...

So a SOC GPU can take a 4:3 image and turn it into 16:9 without distortion? ... LOL...

My Macs can do that for two decades. My iPads, while SOC, cannot.

You forgot your LOL - seems to be a necessary addition.

You have an M1 iPad already, thats weird.

Nothing of that sort was claimed, I’m referring to my existing iPads.
