New iPad Pro 9.7-inch Display is ‘Truly Impressive’ and a ‘Major Upgrade’

An in-depth analysis of Apple’s latest display technology conducted by DisplayMate has shown that the new 9.7-inch iPad Pro is outfitted with “a truly impressive” Retina display, which DisplayMate described as a “major upgrade” over that used in the iPad Air 2.

The 9.7-inch iPad Pro, DisplayMate has found, delivers “color accuracy that is visually indistinguishable from perfect”.

Moreover, it also has the highest absolute color accuracy for any display, the lowest screen reflectance for any mobile display, the highest peak brightness in a full size tablet, the highest contrast rating in high ambient light and the smallest color variation with viewing angle.

The iPad Pro 9.7 fully and very accurately supports two important standard Color Gamuts, the new DCI-P3 Wide Color Gamut that is used in 4K UHD TVs and Digital Cinema, and also the traditional smaller sRGB / Rec.709 Color Gamut that is used for producing virtually all current consumer content for digital cameras, TVs, the internet, and computers, including photos, videos, and movies.

The Absolute Color Accuracy of the iPad Pro 9.7 is Truly Impressive as shown in these Figures. It is the most color accurate display that we have ever measured. It is visually indistinguishable from perfect, and is very likely considerably better than any mobile display, monitor, TV or UHD TV that you have.

Both the 12.9-inch iPad Pro and its smaller brother use the 4:3 aspect ratio LED-backlit screen at 264 pixels per inch though the former has a sharper resolution of 2,732‑by‑2,048 pixels (versus the 9.7-inch iPad Pro’s 1,536-by-2,048 pixels), making it the highest-resolution iOS device Apples has shipped so far.
