Expert's Big Apple Call: New iPad Pro The Best LCD Mobile Device Ever Made

Even though some critics have argued that Apple Inc. AAPL has lost its mojo, the tech giant continues to push the boundaries of consumer technology. In a recent report, DisplayMate analyst Ray Soneira called the new 9.7-inch iPad Pro “the best performing mobile LCD display” that he ever tested.

According to the research note, DisplayMate found that the 9.7-inch iPad Pro returned display performance metrics that broke many records. For instance, the new iPad offers:

• The highest absolute color accuracy 1.35 JNCD) for the two standard Color Gamuts it supports
• The lowest screen reflectance (just 1.7 percent of the ambient light) for any mobile display
• The highest peak brightness (511 nits) among full-size tablets, for any picture level
• The highest contrast rating (301) in ambient light
• The least color variation with viewing angle (less than 2.0 JNCD)

Interestingly, the 9.7-inch iPad Pro’s display outperforms its bigger sibling’s, the 12.9-inch iPad Pro’s, in every aspect, except for black luminance – which allows for a higher contrast ratio when using it in the dark. “The iPad Pro 12.9 is still a very good display, it’s just that the iPad Pro 9.7 is so much better than anything else,” Soneira added.
