Apple advertises the new Mini-LED MacBook Pro 14 with a peak brightness of up to 1600 nits and a sustained brightness of 1000 nits, but these values seem to be limited to HDR contents. Standard SDR contents are limited to 500 nits, which is comparable to the current MacBook Pro 13.

Isn't this normal in an HDR display? What are the SDR numbers on other HDR displays?

Well, the iPad Pro 12.9" supports 600 nits at SDR, so they could have increased the brightness.

Apparently is so they can match 1-1 the big XDR display.

@ariliquin usually the sustained is the SDR max, and peak the HDR one

In your review, please also address if there is any visible or measurable halo effect in high-contrast areas.

It may get brighter if the ambient light sensor is exposed to bright light (i.e.sunlight). Try shining a light on the notch to see if it increase brightness

Hello,
I received the macbook pro 16 2021 I intend to calibrate the screen with displaycal apart from disabling true tone and the brightness.

I have to calibrate the screen from the "apple display p3 500 nit" profile?
thank you

any sneak peak into the display response time? Only you guys at notebookcheck measure this data reliably, and it is a very good indicator on the perceived smoothness of animations.
