Title: Apple has been making misleading claims about its Pro Display XDR
Post by: Redaktion on April 14, 2021, 14:58:14
Apple has been making misleading claims about the Pro Display XDR, according to The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) in the UK. Now, Apple can no longer claim that the Pro Display XDR offers 'far beyond HDR' in the UK, although it continues to do so in the US and other countries. The same goes for the company implying that the display covers 100% of the DCI-P3 colour gamut.

Whaaaat? Apple is pushing overblown hype to differentiate a product that you could as.easily buy under another brand name for (likely much) less money?
I'm shocked. Shocked!
Well, not that shocked.

It's not like 100% P3 is something especially difficult to achieve, Apple should claim responsibility for failing to achieve that.
The contrast is nothing special if it's dynamic contrast, however I don't believe dynamic contrast is of any significant relevance for a professional display. The native contrast measuring 39,037:1 is very high and already far surpasses any TV or laptop panel on the market (excluding OLEDs of course), I don't understand the insistence on this kind of marketing for a professional product.
As for XDR, we don't actually have anything to go on.
