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.
