“So we have designed a backlight system like none other in the world.”Īpple did this by using an array of blue LEDs to turn up the brightness, and to manage heat, the Pro Display XDR uses the same lattice pattern found on the new Mac Pro to help keep it cool, allowing the panel to maintain a brightness of 1,000 nits indefinitely, or reach peak brightness of 1,600 nits. “Now for great HDR images, you need extreme brightness, right next to extreme contrast for deep blacks, and this is incredibly hard to achieve,” Apple said. XDR stands for extreme dynamic range, Cook’s team said during Apple’s WWDC keynote. Apple claims that the display is 40% larger than the iMac 5K’s screen, giving developers more room to work on their content. With features like high-resolution support, increased contrast ratios, precision- calibrated HDR, and a bright panel, Apple is calling its new 32-inch Retina Display with 6K resolution the Pro Display XDR, which starts at $4,999. To complement the announcement of Apple’s completely redesigned Mac Pro for 2019, CEO Tim Cook and his team also introduced a new display for its pro users.
