Many will agree that the size of the latest Apple iPad Pro is just perfect. This is especially true for those who just want to have an updated Apple tablet and do not need the 12.9-inch version. Aside from the size, the 9.7-inch iPad Pro also features one of the best display screens the industry has to offer.
In comparison to the iPad Air 2 -- both have the same screen size, resolution and pixel density -- the newer tablet outshines the older one. These are all according to a scientific display screen test performed by the leading authority in the field, DisplayMate.
DisplayMate has published a report about a test they performed between the 9.7-inch iPad Pro and the iPad Air 2, in which many aspects are exactly the same. Aside from the three characteristics already mentioned above, both tablets also contain the same aspect ratio, relative screen area, number of pixels, display sharpness, and even the Photo Viewer color depth.
The differences are not so many. There is the anti-reflective coating that effectively reflects up to three times than most non-coated surfaces absorb. The iPad Air 2 already has a 2.5 percent absorption rate and is already a very low value, but the 9.7-inch iPad Pro offers a 1.7 percent rate of absorption -- the lowest so far.
Another great feature the smaller iPad Pro offers is the inclusion of theTwo Color Gamuts and the DCI-P3 Wide Color Gamut. These are the game changers for the display. Color Gamuts are needed in order to accurately display RGB and other color reproduction. The small iPad Pro houses two of them, that is how accurate the colors are being displayed. Meanwhile, the DCI-P3 Color Gamut is used in 4K UHD TV, again to accurately display the colors. So one can imagine the effect of that technology on a FullHD screen.
DisplayMate added that the next best thing with regard to the display screen of future iPad Pro models could be an OLED screen. It is rumored that the Cupertino-based tech giant will be using OLED screens on their iPhones by 2017. Their tablets may follow soon.
