## Key points

- Apple’s new MacBook Pro pairs touch with tandem OLED.
- Apple claims 2,000 nits peak HDR brightness and 10,000,000:1 contrast.
- The higher price may be worthwhile for content professionals.

## Summary

Apple’s new MacBook Pro uses a tandem OLED display branded “PROLED XDR”, combining touch support with features aimed at photographers, artists and video editors. Its claimed brightness, contrast and colour performance could make it a strong option for professional work, though the higher price is unlikely to suit most buyers.

Apple says the screen reaches 2,000 nits peak HDR brightness and a 10,000,000:1 contrast ratio, and covers 80 per cent of the Rec.2020 colour gamut. It also supports 120Hz ProMotion and optional nano-texture glass, while a display engine adjusts pixels for their age and use to address OLED degradation. The article notes that the pixel layout remains unconfirmed and that Apple’s performance claims have not been independently verified.
