Ross Young: M4's MacBook Pro gets a quantum dot display

Apple has applied quantum dots with a separate film on top of the LCD, which allows to improve the color reproduction of the new MacBook Pro and keep the proven technology of matrix manufacturing. This is the conclusion of analyst Ross Young.

In terms of response speed LCD-display with a film on quantum dots is inferior to a full QD-OLED panel, but provides better brightness and contrast compared to previous IPS-matrixes.

All MacBook Pro screens, including nano-textured models, have received the high-tech film. Rumor has it that the MacBook Pro will get a full OLED display in 2026 at the earliest.

Big Apple display news, they have adopted quantum dots for the first time. The latest MacBook Pro's (M4) use a quantum dot (QD) film rather than a red KSF phosphor film. 

In the past, Apple went with the KSF solution due to better efficiency and lack of cadmium (Cd), but the… https://t.co/5olq9lEHs9
