OLED iPad Pro Users Report 'Grainy' Displays, But It May Not Be a Defect

Why? I'll have the iPad Pro 9th Generation then... and the screen will be made of ground unicorn horn and rainbow glass.
Actually when is MicroLED coming? That's the future. All the OLED benefits and none of the issues.
There are discussions about this happening with Apple Watches, iPhones, TVs, anything that has an OLED display. The OLED lottery is one of the worst things about that type of display
mini led is not better. this tech is certainly better. remember that people moaned about blooming on mini led?
All OLED displays exhibit this. The brightness of each subpixel is different at low voltages. If you've got an OLED device from any manufacturer, turn it to low brightness in a dark room and look at a 25% grey solid image, you'll see it if your eyes are good enough.
The perks of being an early adopter are unfortunately marred by all the downsides of being a guinea pig. Despite the graininess issue, I wonder if the tandem OLED display means that burn-in (or should I say "burn out") is a concern of the past. Only time will tell.
Consumer level high pixel density MLED is pretty much vaporware at this stage. Can't see it arriving any time soon. Or maybe even ever if it can't be made commercially viable. And honestly we really only have claims that it will right all the wrongs of OLED. Prophecy says it will be the perfect display tech but I've been hearing that about the next leap since 1998. In the meantime I am a gushing OLED fan but I know enough about it to approach a one thousand nit OLED iPad with extreme trepidation.
A couple hundred bucks? You can’t get anything of value for a couple hundred bucks anymore.
This is a not-widely reported issue that’s visible under fun screens and flat grays. Give me a break.
If you paid $200 for other tablets, you get far more issues to live with that a specific set of grain causing conditions.
Every time Apple releases a new product or an annual large OS update you can be guaranteed within 10 seconds the complaining about "defects" starts. The irony being, even if they are real and I believe they rarely are, maybe 1% of all Apple users even think there may be defects of some kind that show up in their hardware. And that percent, a generous estimate, is probably entirely composed of technophiles and fanboys.
Yep. Even now you can buy the latest LG OLED TV and you won't have to be super unlucky to get a varied fullscreen grayscale right out of the box.
TBH OLED could get burn-in when it was only capable of 600 nits peak brightness, and not running at peak brightness. The killer was static images (HUDs in games, static TV channel logos). All tandem does I think is probably double the chance of burn-in with 2 layers working at ~600 nits each. Unless I'm missing something.
I have an LG CX and it has a slight pink tint in the left 25% of the panel on a white screen. This isn't uncommon.
As stated in the other threads, I had this, returned and got a new one, no problems with the new one, grain is gone. But yellow tint remains that I have to dial out with accessibility colour tinting
Why are blacks in real life not actually black?
Why does our vision have a little grain and floaters?
Why doesn’t real life look like a HDR video game?
I need to take my eyes to the Genius Bar in the maternity ward for tech support. Maybe get refund from my parents.

Have a glossy Pro 13 and don’t see that at all. Screen is awesome! This a great upgrade, probably best iPad upgrade in a long time.
wHy doESNt AppLE gIvE uS OLED guys now regretting all their months of yelling their demands when they find out what OLED actually does.
Just goes to show that good-ol’ LCD is hard to beat, and OLED is but a stopgap towards MicroLED (i.e. real LED).
