Yup—my first television looked absolutely perfect at the store with warehouse lighting, but as soon as I took it home to my den—surprise! it had raised blacks.

Thats a really nice story. I'm in the east coast, so I had no awareness of Magnolia HiFi, and wondered where Best Buy got the name. I'll think of that heritage and your story next time I'm walking into that section.
I watched the HDR 4K content on the 13. It looked good, but except for the bright stuff being really bright (almost sun white), I can't say it's so much more amazing than even LCD. But I'm just not a video (or audio) phile. For me, the new keyboard is worth the upgrade, along with the .2 pounds they shaved from it.
Yeah, it started here in the Magnolia neighborhood in Seattle - where my wife & I both grew up in and am back living in.
That’s incredible . Made me almost wish I had waited ; I bought mine before the Bravia 9 was announcedYou're so right. What Sony was doing with mini LED last year, and just under 500 dimming zones, was blowing everybody else out of the water. This year, Sony introduced much more dimming zone control to make it more OLED-like. It works so well that Sony is making their top flagship TV a mini LED, called the Bravia 9. Check out how much better the backlighting system is:
Still, nothing yet matches the better colorspace of QD-OLED, and Sony managed to improve brightness on it too, so the second flagship in line will be the Bravia 8 with a QD-OLED panel. Sony buyers can take their pick and put a Bravia 9 in a bright room or a Bravia 8 in a light-controlled room.
This all begs the question—when will Sony get their hands on Tandem OLED?
Really Interstinf about tandem oleds use in cars . I’ve seen an Oled in the Escalade and it looked great but I was semi-cringing at what it could potentially look like in a few years with all of the static info ; it would be horrible if your entire dashboard was burned in . Makes total sense now that it might have been tandem Oled that mitigates this substantially
Yeah there’s definitely something wrong . Black bars on the M4 should be solid black just like the 12.9 M1 . Unless there’s something wrong with the algorithm , the self emissive pixels in the black bars should simply turn off
WOLED uses four white subpixels, with RGB filters over three of the subpixels. Smaller displays actually use RGB emitters, without need for the filters. So they aren't really all that similar.
I’m an OLED fan - was looking forward to this release. Sold my M1 Pro a few months back in anticipation and it was a little frustrating that the release took longer than it seemed it was going to at the time; but I did get a company-issued M2 Pro at the same time that has been holding me over.
For me, it was worth the wait; I’m impressed with the display. I see some here are skeptical of anyone who’s actually happy with them; not sure what to say about that but I am. I would have had no issue sending it back and picking up a less expensive M2 if there was no difference.

I’m happy with mine, and I have an M2 iPad Pro and the new M4 Pro - it’s just not THAT much better, incremental at best. And if you are not a fan of warmer displays, it may even appear worse to you.
Coming from a 2017 iPad Pro, it was an easy decision to get the M4 11'' iPad Pro. Battery health on the old one was around 50% and iOS 18 won't be available. I got $100 trade-in from Apple and with education discount, I paid $800. I don't use the keyboard, for that I prefer laptops and the new OLED screen is gorgeous. I also like having Face ID on this device and turned on charging up to 80% for increased battery health. After a few days, I guess I'm as happy as the OP.
It looks great. They better tone it down in the dark, too distracting at night.Displays used in cars. Thats a recent article but I've seen that mentioned for years now. Why in cars? Because tandem OLED gets bright enough for sunlight, but looks seamless during dusk hours, and can be shaped and curved rather than flat. More so, cars are kept for 10+ years and nobody wants to be driving a car with burn-in; cars need to display UI elements constantly during the drive—can't just turn off the speedometer to save the screen from burn-in. We'll see how well tandem OLED holds up.
I haven't seen a model list. I'm sure asian EV and luxury cars use it. I know Mercedes is using it since the 2020 S-Class, electric EQS and EQE SUVs. The Mercedes MBUX Hyperscreen is using it. (source) You may see the term P-OLED—that is tandem OLED with a flexible plastic substrate so they can bend it to a car panel.
For sure. Usually cars auto-dim screens when headlights are turned on, but I hope at this price bracket the design includes a light sensor for an auto-adjust brightness function.
OLED is really my main reason for upgrading, besides the size reduction. The mini LED on my 12.9 is really nice, but I do notice the blooming a lot, which is a bit distracting.
I’d rather have LED instead, no risk of burn-in and much longer shelf life.
i think it's much more of a bigger jump for me saying coming from an ancient/dated iPad Mini 2/iPad 2... [which i survived using as a touch-device only for a decade plus]
anyone on M1/M2 iPad Pro imo won't benefit much more... heck even I feel M1 is overkill on an iPad so it's well proofed for many years.
unless... one is a display junkie [OLED vs miniLED]... well more power to them if they can justify that difference.
