iPad Pro 9.7 has the best LCD mobile display tested by DisplayMate

The display of the new iPad Pro 9.7 repeats the same diagonal and the same resolution 2048 x 1536 pixels Screen iPad Air 2, but the breakthrough in substantive terms than the previous model, there was, as is clear from the test conducted by DisplayMate , authoritative source and submit it to extremely detailed evidence screens of fixed and mobile devices. The judgment is clear: it is the best mobile LCD screen tested by DisplayMate (which has a very rich information database). Not only a summary assessment, but several arguments in support of the statement.

It starts with the parameter of color fidelity, tests in which emerges most clearly the difference with the iPad Air 2. Good screen in the case of this latest model and excellent in iPad Pro 9.7, to bring the summary assessment of DisplayMate. First, the new Pro 9.7 "iPad supports two standard color gamut: the new DCI-P3 Wide Color Gamut, used in the TV 4" UHD, and the more traditional standard sRGB / Rec 709 (only the latter is supported by iPad Air 2) .The gamut color selection is done automatically based on the type of content. DisplayMate calls "truly impressive" the results of the measurements Color Gamut with values ​​perfectly aligned with the reference and a value of 1:35 JNCD for both standards, the highest recorded by DisplayMate with a mobile screen.

exellent also with regard to light resistance: the screen only reflects the 1.7% of the ambient light using a new anti-reflective finish with obvious benefits in terms of contrast and saturation in brighter environments. Also in this case it is the lowest detected value in the mobile from the source. The level of maximum brightness of 511 cd / m2 is higher by over 20% compared to the value recorded by the iPad Air 2, a new record for the category. Very good, but not at the top, the contrast ratio with a value of 1,022, while in the test of the IPS display viewing angles reaffirms the good (and less good) shown by the iPad Air 2 improving slightly the loss of light measured with a 30-degree viewing angle (-47% in portait, -55% in landscape); a physiological behavior for an LCD IPS.

In DisplayMate test does not lack a dedicated study to True Tone mode that changes the white point and color balance of the display based on the real-time detection of ambient light reaching the screen, a result obtained by integrating two light sensors. The idea of ​​Apple is to make the iPad display responsive to ambient light as it is a blank sheet of paper that changes color according to the hue of the light that reaches it. In tests, however, the function is found to be partially effective: for example, the light produced by an incandescent lamp with a color temperature of 3000K has determined the variation of the white point of the display iPad from 6945K to 5550k, a warmer white, then, but not as much as the light of the lamp.

The screen of iPad Pro 9.7 "manages to beat even one built into older brother iPad Pro 12.9" in all evaluations, except for the luminance of the black and, of course, for the size.
