Hi,
I'm thinking of buying an 13" iPad Pro for video editing while I'm traveling. Which of the two iPad displays would be best for my requirements?

Thanks.

Depends; are you planning to use it outdoors often, or under harsh lights (studio lights, etc.)? If so, nano-texture would benefit you by reducing the glare. If not, you may not need it. However, I will say that even though I don’t really use my iPad outdoors or anything like that, I’ve been really enjoying my nano-texture iPad after taking a bit of a leap of faith. It feels extremely smooth to the touch and adds a bit of a unique element to the display (making it look a bit like a printed display or e-ink).

Thanks for your reply. I will on occasion be using it outdoors but not that often. Would the standard glass with an antiglare matte screen protector be sufficient?

Yeah that will very likely be sufficient. I will say that the nano-texture display, to my eye, makes text a little bit less sharp and reduces contrasts a tad, but it’s not too bad. A matte screen protector seems like it will get you the anti-glare without pushing you permanently towards the nano-texture display.

If at all possible, you really should try to view one in person. Everyone's perception is different.

I slap inexpensive but quality matte screen protectors on every touchscreen device I own. Minimal impact to clarity for me, but others claim that matte protectors turned their screens into a blurry mess. But then again, they can spot individual pixels on a retina display from 20 feet away. ;)

One thing I do notice for nano-texture screen is the color saturation is altered quite a bit. Basically, I see less vibrant color on many of my photos, and I’m not quite like it, and it sort of defeats the purpose of having OLED.

With that being said, try to find a chance to see the screen in person before making a decision.
