Apple's M4 MacBook Pro display has quantum dots for the first time

Vlad, 15 November 2024

Apple launched the new MacBook Pro with M4 chips at the end of last month, and it looks like these have a previously not spoken about upgrade.

According to Ross Young of Display Supply Chain Consultants, the new MacBook Pro has a quantum dot screen. The quantum dot film replaces the red KSF phosphor film used in previous models.

The QD film delivers better color gamut and better motion performance compared to the red KSF phosphor film, and is now cadmium-free too. It didn't use to be, and that apparently is the reason why Apple has stuck with the KSF solution until now.

This improvement applies to all new MacBook Pros, with or without nano texture. Keep in mind that the new laptops still have LCD screens, and this QD film won't make them perform as well as QD-OLED displays do, but it is a small step forward nevertheless.

While it sounds far fetched, as per regulatory standard where eurozone dictates due to Bauhous(Hitler revolted, Ind/pak got freedom) which specifies that to be called a Quantum LED it must absolutely re-create the visual outside the screen, Hypotheti...

Moreover, as my experience shows if using OLED at 80-100% brightness it literally DIES. Had to replace display on my 11 Pro, fun fact is that new display seems to be better than the old one
