Apple has begun shipping its 2021 M1-equipped iPad Pro tablets, and the larger 12.9-inch version has earned special acclaim for its cute mini-LED brandish. We praised its brightness and stellar motion-picture show quality in our own iPad Pro 2021 (12.9-inch) review, but at present some owners are reporting some distracting flower effects actualization on the screen while viewing their tablet in a nighttime room.

Notably, 2021 iPad Pro users like Josh Teder and Teoh Yi Chie have taken to Twitter to post images showcasing a slight bloom effect that can be seen around bright areas of the 12.9-inch iPad Pro's screen when using it in total darkness.

This is significant considering, as MacRumors points out, Apple tree's back up documents for the new iPad Pro specifically spell out how the larger iPad Pro'south Liquid Retina XDR display is designed to minimize bloom by handling local dimming amend than typical LED LCD displays.

Local dimming is a pull a fast one on used in newer LED LCD displays to try matching the high dissimilarity ratio of OLED displays, which are capable of switching private pixels on and off. LED LCD displays, by contrast, are backlit with LEDs that can't light specific pixels without casting some excess light.

The 12.9-inch version of Apple'southward 2021 iPad Pro has a special mini-LED display, and the addition of mini-LED is a big deal because the Pro's mini-LED diodes are a fifth the size of normal LED diodes, meaning more densely packed lighting zones that can be individually brightened or dimmed.

"These mini-LEDs are grouped into an array of over 2,500 individually controlled local dimming zones. This delivers incredibly deep blacks right next to bright image areas, achieving a 1,000,000:one contrast ratio," notes Apple tree's back up documentation. "Transitional characteristics of local dimming zones, such every bit a slight mistiness or color change while scrolling against blackness backgrounds, are normal behavior."

Some users are now posting images which show a noticeable light bloom around bright areas of the 12.9-inch iPad Pro'southward screen in total darkness, even when they aren't scrolling. Many are quick to signal out that this is a very subtle effect that'south barely noticeable unless you're using the iPad in a night room, just it's however a notable example of how Apple'south new mini-LED display falls short of what can be achieved with a high-quality OLED screen like that establish on the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 Plus.

We should also point out that while we establish the 12.9-inch iPad Pro'southward display to be remarkably sharp and bright in our review, we also noticed that you really need to exist viewing HDR content on the device to see the difference the mini-LED display makes. Not that it makes non-HDR content look bad, of course — you should just know that non all iOS apps currently support HDR content (nosotros're looking at you lot, HBO Max) then you won't become the most out of your new 12.nine-inch iPad Pro's display when using them.
