13 inch. In a room with the curtains down during daylight.
The iPhone camera's algorithm smears the noise, but you can still see the second picture of M4 has the worst noise.
I think there is evidence of a little grain, but certainly not as obvious as on the 11”.
Unfortunately all OLEDS struggle with grays, blurry text, and black crushing. You trade off some of LCD’s shortcomings for OLEDS.
The grain is obvious between the M1 and M4 even from that image taken a few feet away and zooming in. It’s more and more obvious people who say they don’t have it just don’t notice it. It’s there and this could have all been solved if they went with a higher PPI. The iPhones went to over 400ppi because Apple knew this was an issue. But for iPads they seem to not give a ****. If apple start selling OLED MacBooks Pros at the current PPI , theyre gonna have noticable grain and piss a lot of people off who just spent $2-3k.
I don’t think it’s a PPI issue entirely. I think the overall screen quality isn’t as nice as recent OLED iPhones. I’m betting the iPad has a fairly low bit panel as well…a spec apple does not publish.
I’d be surprised if the OLED panel in the iPad Pro is anything other than 8-bit FRC. But I would not consider that a “low bit panel”. Most good quality wide colour HDR screens are 8-bit FRC.
Nope just 7 people here with OCD and magnifying glasses that spend more time on this forum than getting actual work done.
I’m very sensitive to display abnormalities like banding, uniformity, etc. I just think my m4 is totally normal when compared to other oled displays I’ve seen like tvs and computer monitors. It’s definitely not iPhone pro max nice but certainly not trash. I think people expected it to be iPhone nice and it’s just not. iPads aren’t made as nicely as iPhones or Macs. Never have been in my opinion. I found the jittery scrolling/refresh and excessive bloom of my m1 pro way more distracting.
This is my first iPad so it was just a surprise to me haha. It’s still a stunning display especially with high bit rate HDR material. I think I’ve made peace with the fact that the grain is inherent to the new iPad Pro models. I’ll take a bit of graininess over gray uniformity issues, pink tinting, and banding issues (like on LG WOLED TVs) any day! Also I could never go back to MiniLED (blooming is just far too distracting too me)
After my 2017 iPad Pro and after the mini-LED models came out, I decided to just wait until Apple went with OLED. I also find blooming very irritating.
Precisely, it made many high contrast videos unwatchable for me. That’s why I can’t do miniLED TVs as well, I notice even minimal amounts of blooming. No number of local dimming zones can beat per pixel control. That’s why I am a bit disappointed Apple is pausing their development on microLED displays for their products. Maybe QDEL or QD-PHOLED could be alternatives they go towards in the meantime.
I think he’s referring to the micro stutters that have been plaguing iOS animations for years. It’s just apples poor optimization. When the pro motion iPads first came out they were 100 percent consistently BUTTER smooth. But now there’s always random micro stutters. Even on the m4 , it’s just less noticeable because rather than optimize , Apple wants to throw processing power at the problem.
No it was more a slight delay in refreshing. Some people were more perceptive to it than others. I always found it distracting. Not quite as bad as ghosting....just not as smooth as I expected.
