If its higher than 100 it is over saturating colours, the higher the number, the higher the sat.
The iMac has the only LCD screen that supports 10-bit colour gamut. The iPads aren't even known to fully support 8-bit colour as the iPhone is advertised with "full sRGB colour saturation". So, does the iMac have the best display than? Better than all the Apple devices including the iPhone?
#iPhone7Rumour: iMac's 10-bit colour supported display throws possibility for iPhone 7 to support 10-bit colour? (iPhone 6 the first in industry to debut full 8-bit colour display)

I'm interested in this primarily for readability in bright light. I love my iPad Mini, but it's horrible in any sort of sunlight. If this were something I could read outside, that would be fantastic.
Sounds like you're reaching. Displaymate is a well respected organization. Why would they risk the possible damage to their reputation from using specially prepped manufacturer samples? That's a no win situation for Displaymate.
Well I guess I will find out tonight as I just picked up my SG 128GB iPad Pro over lunch.
oh, look! you called an iPad a "toy". thats new, different, and backed up with data. not.

Awesome. Enjoy. It's the best Plex Apple tablet yet.
Well it kinda confirms my experience with the iPad mini 4. One if not THE best Apple device I own. Excellent screen, fast, light and thin.
The only thing I dislike about the mini is the that the design is not in line with the iPhone 6(s). I keep clicking on the volume button thinking it's the power button....and 3D Touch.

I agree, the pro has a much better display than the Air 2. My A2 blows out skin highlights and seems overall to have less range. Text based webpages like this forum are a joy on the IPP because of the great legibility.
Neither are close to the Mini 4. I unexpectedly bought the Mini the first time I saw it in the Apple Store, as I thought it was that good. YouTube playback on the mini in landscape mode is the best on any iOS device.
Extremely happy with my new iPad Pro. I am a Pro Photographer and I must say I never seen a better looking screen, ever! The colors are incredible and the sharpness is beyond what I expected. Even better than my iMac 5K and any MacBook Pro Retina.
The size is also a huge advantage and the fact that you can get closer to the images is an amazing experience.
If only the horrible Photos App was better at displaying images at their original proportions and not at full screen by default...

... On color gamut, the iPad mini had the most accurate score at 101 percent (100 percent is best)...
How can something score a 101%? That's just ridiculous.
It can display slightly more than the colour gamut of the sRGB colour space. Think of a colour space as all the colours that can be shown by mixing different levels of (relative) brightness of three primary colour sources. The 'purer' each primary source is, the more intense colours can be created.
'Scoring' might be the wrong term. 101% here just means 1% more than a defined reference value (in this case the range of colours).
In its latest display shoot-out, DisplayMate Technologies compared the displays of Apple's current iPad lineup: the 2015 iPad mini 4, the 2015 iPad Pro, and the 2014 iPad Air 2 to see how the three tablets measure up against each other. The iPad mini 4 came out on top in most of DisplayMate's tests, which used a variety of calibrated lab measurements and image/photo viewing tests to compare display quality.
Yes, but which ones do that ripply distortion when I press with normal force? Because, after three Silver 128GB WiFi Only iPad Air 2 units with that same defect, I'm sort of wanting whichever model is lacking in that feature (design defect).
Why wouldn't they? It's not even unethical. You wouldn't expect them to dig out the very worst example they could find, would you?
Since not many reviewers I recall have ever mentioned half-yellow iMac screens or pink/green tinted iPad 3 screens or light bleed on any product, I'm pretty convinced they do indeed do this. Those problems were/are pervasive across the product line.
I love that website. Been following it for months now.
They display relevant and accurate tests for displays of pretty much about everything, and they always back-up their opinions with test results. And their site is also not saturated with ads, either. Easy on the browser and right to the point.
On another note, I'm very impressed with the iPad Mini 4's display.
However, it's still LCD. In my opinion and from experience, a tablet needs to have an OLED display for the most immersive experience. I have a Galaxy Tab S which has a gorgeous 2560x1600 AMOLED display at 359 ppi. Nothing beats that.
Don't believe me?

If the best screen is what iPad Pro all about, I am sorry, Apple does not deserve my love. However, you definitely are desperately needs some yourself. May I suggest go get one iPad Pro? It might make you sound a little less grumpy.
