Where the display is extremely impressive is in its color calibration, and this is helped significantly by macOS doing a much better job of color management than Windows. That’s not to say the MacBook Pro’s gamut is bad or anything, it’s just not as wide or as versatile as I’ve seen.

Where it falls a little short is in that Adobe RGB coverage, and a competing display like the Samsung OLED you get in devices such as the Gigabyte Aero 15 OLED does offer a wider color gamut with full Adobe RGB coverage. Where the MacBook Pro’s display ends up in terms of color gamut is typical for a modern “creator” laptop, the majority of top-end laptop displays have really good coverage of sRGB and P3.

Color Space: Apple MacBook Pro 16 XDR Display - Adobe RGB Apple also knows this, because they don’t provide an Adobe RGB color profile, while you do get various P3 and Rec. Due to covering P3 fully we do get over 90% Adobe RGB coverage, but it’s missing the top range of greens that differentiate Adobe RGB from other color spaces, so this laptop isn’t suitable for that sort of work. Unfortunately the performance outside these gamuts is not great, specifically what’s missing is Adobe RGB coverage which is relevant for photography work. This also means perfect sRGB coverage, so if you’re designing web content, creating SDR videos, or working with wide gamut HDR videos then Apple is providing you the tools to do that. That’s an excellent result for any creator looking to produce content in that gamut.
The MacBook Pro’s display is a wide gamut display with 99% coverage of the DCI-P3 color space. Tested at native resolution, highest refresh rate. Portrait CALMAN Ultimate, DeltaE Value Target: Below 2.0, CCT Target: 6500K. I’ll get to talking about response performance later.Ĭolor Performance Color Space: Apple MacBook Pro 16 XDR Display - D65-P3 Let’s take a look at how the Liquid Retina XDR display actually performs and I’m going to start here with some color performance results because I think these are most relevant to a creator-focused display like this. I don’t want to dwell on the notch too much as in practice using the laptop it’s not that big of a deal. I mean, surely this could have been smaller? But at least I’m glad Apple didn’t put the webcam below the display. The notch is absolutely massive relative to the size of the camera and sensors, and looks kind of ridiculous. Apple claims this was necessary to decrease bezel size and increase the display real estate while retaining the webcam at the top, though I’m not so sure that’s true.
Obviously, a big talking point has been including a notch in the display.

The combination of everything though is a first, and the only rivals to this sort of panel are the latest wave of 4K OLED panels seen in a few high-end Windows laptops. The backlight has 10,000 mini-LEDs for impressive zone density at this size, allowing for a contrast ratio of 1,000,000:1 and peak brightness up to 1,600 nits in the HDR mode on paper.Īs for refresh rate, Apple are offering up to 120Hz with adaptive sync, which they’ve rebranded into "ProMotion" although this sort of functionality has been available for many years now in other laptops and displays. Apple doesn’t disclose the exact technology used here, but it’s an LCD panel which appears to be IPS-like in design. If we dive deeper into the specs, the 16.2-inch panel has a resolution of 3456 x 2234 which continues Apple’s tradition of using non-standard resolutions across their line-up.
If I translate this into what Apple actually means, they are giving you a high resolution full array local dimming mini-LED LCD with true HDR functionality. Apple calls this particular display a "Liquid Retina XDR display" which is typical Apple marketing speak. There are two versions of the new MacBook Pro and we’ve got the 16-inch version, although the 14-inch model’s display is very similar just smaller and with a different resolution. We're going to run through some tests and provide our thoughts on how good this display is as someone that looks at lots and lots of displays each year. So today we're going to take a closer look at what Apple is doing with their brand new screen.Īs you're fully aware, we have a lot of experience testing and reviewing displays, however we mostly cover gaming monitors not laptop displays, so this is going to be a little different. After looking at the performance of Apple's M1 Pro SoC powering the new MacBook Pro 16, and beyond reviewing the laptop itself, there's another interesting component in this laptop that's worth looking into, and that’s the mini-LED 120Hz display.
