LG Preparing to Supply OLED Panels for iPad by 2024

I am hoping Apple will release iPads this spring. I want to purchase either the iPad Air or iPad Pro 11. I tried the mini and regular iPad and did not like them.
Good for visuals? Not exactly sure what that means. Yes, there’s definitely differences between OLED an LCD, but I don’t think consumers generally care about the visuals, nor do they understand either. If you look at Apples marketing traditionally, they don’t tout about OLED panels for an extended amount of time, they focus on other specific hardware features, like the Apple Pencil support, Pro-motion, ect.
However, the ‘bad for eyes’ argument when it comes to OLED is very subjective. It’s more of a case by case situation, versus everybody’s affected by it.
An iPad Air with a Promotion 120Hz OLED display would be the perfect iPad.
I hope the next generation of MacBooks also goes OLED, I really like the Mini-LED LCD on my 14" MacBook Pro but it's still inferior to my iPhone 13 Pro's display, both get brighter than I need them to be.

With Apple’s dismal track record of eye health and OLED displays, I’m looking forward to this new iPad Not. At. All.
Yeah, Samsung just killed OLED with their new QDOLED technology. I guess Apple saw an opportunity to get a huge discount on the outdated OLED from LG. But ofcourse, Apple will sell it for $$$$.
Another price hike for an improvement I probably won't be able to appreciate in real life, but one which the internet reviewers will rave about because if you put the old and new devices right next to the other and show just the right image there's a tiny difference? Sign me up baby.
The fact that after all this time, we’re still rumoring about this and not using it is truly baffling. This ain’t exactly new tech…
It'll be ten years after Samsung put OLED into their tabs, which btw look fantastic. The screens. Not the plastic Galaxy Tabs themselves...
Their upcoming one is huge:
Samsung's 14-inch Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra may offer equally massive specs
A leak appears to have revealed official snapshots of Samsung's 14-inch Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra, plus the very high-end specs to match.

Excellent. Hope to skip over the trash Mini LED phase Apple has going. Gimme an OLED iPad. wouldn’t mind an oled Mac either.
You obviously have never seen an OLED screen.
No such thing. OLED doesn't need a backlight so there is no need for miniLEDs.
There wont be, as its not required. purpose of miniLED is to provide localised dimming. They can use OLED with extra cost but no extra benefits. Infact, if they use OLED, then theres no point covering it with and inferior tech like LCD
Depends on what content you watch i suppose, but for things like a fureplace in an otherwise dark scene( unkess ivercompresion negates it that is, may depend on media source) you will deffenetly notice only oled can produce true blacks. So contrast ratios will in theory be improved. On another note when most of the screen is dark the screen wil probably conume less power then lcd screens so you might see slightly increced batery life assuming all other components have thes sam power usage
Sure, why not if you’re a masochist, but current miniLED iPad Pro and MacBook Pros are amazing (from actual experience). Good for your eyes, great for HDR when you need it.
OLED jelly scrolling
OLED is good on iPhone because you only hold it vertically and it’s a small size. Same for TVs - you can’t experience it there, it refreshes from top to bottom. Tablets though, even flagship 120Hz OLED Samsung tablet suffers from jelly scrolling ?. Unless they improve tech, that’s a no for me. I couldn’t stand it on Galaxy Tab S5. And don’t forget the risk of burn-in of static macOS elements.
My understanding is that mini LED isn’t superior, and every time I’ve seen one I end up thinking the same. OLED has the best contrast ratio without local dimming required so no shadows/glows/halos. It also has amazing colour accuracy and excellent response times. People will now declare OLED inferior due to the perceived ‘burn in’ risk where images are stuck on the screen, but that’s usually reserved for cheaper less well designed panels. Apple phones have not suffered this generally. I’ve used an OLED laptop for years and not seen any evidence of burn in either
I bought an LG 55 inch OLED. I don't recall the model number, but it was over $2K back on 2017, so I think it was a premium model. Serious burn in and the TV is ruined. The only other OLED device I have is an iPhone and no issues with that. Will never buy another OLED TV again--never.
