Anyone who says they don’t see it is lying
Not saying it’s deal breaking, but it’s definitely noticeable

Apple Says iPad Pro's XDR Display Designed to Minimize Blooming, but Some Users Still Notice the Effect

Ok. What’s this have to do with anything. Subpar experience is all I see
Pretty much. Looked at a buddy's and couldn't see it on the start up screen. I'm sure peeps are cranking the highlights to get their point across.
Oh I’m well aware of the different technologies, compared to previous this is definitely an improvement. I just held off from buying the first redesigned iPad Pro because I thought it had OLED, and that sentiment continued with every revision; I never paid it that much attention tbh.
If you try to find faults at regular LCD you can see backlight bleed, grey black etc.
If you try to find faults at OLED it's burn-in and yellow tint/uniformity issues (Just go to the iPhone section in these forums)
If you try to find faults at mini-led, you will see blooming.
Its give and take in all of these scenarios.

I had been wondering how big the issue was for the 32” XDR display for some additional context…it’s significantly worse than the Dell’s Mini LED from the looks of it.

I get my iPad on Thursday so I’ll be interested to see this for myself. Now that everyone’s talking about it, I notice blooming on my iPad 2018, iPhone (OLED) and OLED TV to some extent. Even more so as I become more tired.
This is all in a dark room.
I find the iPhone‘s OLED to be pretty frustrating sometimes at night, with the way that you can see the pixels taking too long to update as your scrolling, creating a ghosting effect. Then I try remind myself to not be so picky. I assume this isn’t the case with Micro LED and/or 120HZ.

Disagree with what? That the picture in this article is absolutely not showing what the blooming in real life looks like? That‘s just stupid. Do you have the device? No? Well I do and I just watched the video that this still was apparently taken from. And it looked glorious.
Noone said there is no blooming at all. It‘s just extremely minor compared to what pictures like this seem to show.
Exactly.
I will also add that this is with the brightness turned almost all the way down (since I’m viewing at night).
Looking forward to my M2-(or M3-)powered OLED iPad Pro to replace my iPad Pro 2018, which will be plenty powerful enough for at least another 2-3 years.

Holy s*** that Dell screen is 4500€ here.
The 4th gen has LCD display with backlighting. The new 12.9" Pro iPad has more smaller backlights. The 4th gen iPad Pro would be worse for "blooming" if backlights are fewer and larger.
So which one is better, Ipad 2021 blooming effect or iPhone 12 series OLED raised blacks?
And please, dont tell me they are already fixed as they are or at all. Damn Apple

I was watching Altered Carbon the other day as an awesome example of the HDR qualities and deep blacks of the display. No blooming.
Blooming = MiniLED
OR
PWM = OLED.

I would have liked to see OLED in the new iPads but burn-in is a real thing. I'm always worried that my LG OLED TV is going to burn-in and I hate having to worry.
I know the latest generation OLED panels have less risk and there are a ton of mitigation systems, but OLED is not without it's disadvantages too.

Yeah I played with one for a few minutes at the Best Buy store and it looked really nice but that wasn’t enough time to give it a full take. Anyway, I’m perfectly happy with my iPad Air 4 I got this past February, it’s an awesome device and when it comes time for me to replace that we will see what Apple has to offer down the road. Even if I didn’t get the Air, the 12.9 is a tough sell for me because I LOVE the size you get but the form factor is so unwieldy whereas the 11 inch is perfect.
In terms of OLED, I also have an iPhone 12 Pro Max and I LOVE the screen on that thing, it’s truly a joy to look at.

Yeah, no perfect solution here... if Apple sticks with the older IPS then people say "CONTRAST SUCKS!" if they go with MiniLED people say "DIMMING ZONES SUCK!!!" if they were to go with AMOLED (like Samsung does) people will say "MY HEADACHES!!! I CANT TAKE THE PULSE WAVES!!!"
So what are you gonna do? lol
Either way, Apple should have probably figured this would become a big deal and they should have been more upfront with the limitations of the technology.

Are you watching at night (pitch black) with brightness turned all the way down? I bet with brightness up you are so blinded you can’t see it.
