example. screenshot of the reddit guys video and a photo i just took of my OLED TV (with iPhone 12 Pro Max). i was going to highlight it but it's clear as day. the mini led is glowing up pixels that are meant to be dark. the OLED is only lighting up the bottle itself.
Yep noticeable difference while OLED reproduce an accurate contrast between the bottle reflection and black background. Also the red caps on the OLED looks way better and neutral compared to blown-out highlighted ones on Mini LED.
You just can't cheat true self-lit display. Every now and then, the weird blooming will catch up.
What we can see is blooming, which means the image is being degraded because of the backlight. Since there's blooming, it isn't providing the same range an OLED does at even the minimum 540 nits... let alone today's current 900 nits in OLEDs.
People just have in their heads that OLED is always better. Thats just the case.
on the oled you almost cant see the colour of the drink inside the bottle..but the most important please, tell that guy who made this comp...to show the same distance...the right bottles are closer and the focus is more relevant here...Thank you so much guysexample. screenshot of the reddit guys video and a photo i just took of my OLED TV (with iPhone 12 Pro Max). i was going to highlight it but it's clear as day. the mini led is glowing up pixels that are meant to be dark. the OLED is only lighting up the bottle itself.
Doesn’t matter if it had 30,000 dimming zones, OLED would still whup it.
I know it’s about dynamic range. Just because OLED technically has infinite contrast doesn’t mean it will always look better than a display that has a better range of deep darks to bright peaks.
By your logic an OLED display that has a range from 0 nits to 100 nits peak would be better than a MiniLED that goes from 10 nits to 2000 nits peak. Because the contrast is calculated from the black leven; sure the OLED has infinite contrast and the MiniLED would not, so it sounds like it would be better. However, clearly in this extreme example a MiniLED would be the far superior and more impressive display.
Besides HDR is also about color space and OLED in many cases lags behind LED when it comes to color volume. Top end LEDs can have 5-10% more color volume than top OLEDS which means much more vivid colors.
Look, I have two OLED TVs at home and I love them and they’re great. However, OLED isn’t the perfect solution in every case.
I can guarantee you that this MiniLED iPad is going to look better while watching a movie in the garden this summer than an OLED version would ever be able to achieve.
The perception of pure blacks is also influenced by ambient light levels; in normal lighting or outside the MiniLED will look to your eyes as perfectly black as an OLED would, while achieving much higher brightness. End result: the perceived contrast ratio will be vastly higher than it would’ve been on an OLED. Except in a dark room.
Also the bigger the OLED panel the Harder it is to achieve good peak brightness, just because an iPhone goes high doesn’t mean the iPad would. Also 1000 typical brightness 1500 peak is significantly more than 800 typical and 1200 peak for the iPhone.
Believe he’s telling you that OLED meeting the HDR spec and providing “more visual information” (a somewhat artificially-boosted statement since it’s based on a purer black) is pointless when the end user needs actual light output, not just a differential between pure black and some weaker light output, to be able to see details.
Looks like an awesome display to me, especially given that it doesn’t do PWM, so I can enjoy it without any headaches.
Yah, how did it slip past the Apple embargo when only the media/press/YouTubers were supposed to receive them before the public release ??
Who the heck is Nebraska Furniture Mart - do they have an Apple store inside ?
How did they get them early ???
I really think WWDC/iOS 15 will bring a whole new level of software with these major improvements taking place with hardware.
mini led, more ram, contrast ratio, center stage etc all serve a purpose. Any one of those features on their own wouldn’t really signal anything major.. but altogether= True pro usage. Whether that means external monitor support, pro apps, enabling iPadOS to utilize more RAM at once than iOS can.. something is coming.

I’m about to order the white magic Keyboard for it, but I’d like to see hands on reviews to see how it holds up to wear
Yep these new iPads Pros are a no-brainer upgrade for pretty much everyone. Even if you bought the 2020 version, you're going to want in on these new models.
Two month lead times on new orders now. Not bad for a product I was recently told on here wouldn't be in high demand, and there would be plenty of stock to go around.
You must own apple stock.

Imagine being fortunate enough that you believe this privileged thought process applies to "pretty much everyone".
NFM also sells electronics. Retail stores have to receive the products a few days before the release date, otherwise how will they be able to sell them on day 1 or ship them to customers so that they don't wait?
Am I the only one that doesn't want to pay for a fkn Lidar scanner and advanced camera? I feel like that adds at least $200 to the total cost and most people don't even care about having it.
would you guys expect the mini led on this device to be the same mini led on the upcoming macbook pro 14"/16"?
NFM is apparently a retail chain stores in the MidWest. My guess is kind of like IKEA but with electronic goodies.
Some people aren’t into irrelevant topics such as art. Some people are scientists and require proper OS for some HARDCORE data analysis.
