Apple's new 12,9-inch iPad Pro has a new Liquid Retina XDR display, but what exactly are the benefits of this new feature and why should you get your hands on this device? Let's take a look at today's blog.

The Apple Spring Loaded event launched two new iPads: the 12,9-inch iPad Pro and the 11-inch iPad Pro. Although the latter has a Liquid Retina display, the new 12,9-inch version has an improved Liquid Retina XDR display. Additionally, both new iPad Pros offer Apple's M1 chip and 5G connectivity for higher quality video streaming, high definition FaceTime, and more. Check out some of the highlights of the Liquid Retina XDR display in today's blog.

The best part about the Liquid Retina XDR display on the 12,9-inch iPad Pro is the stunning performance of the front of the display. Powered by a state-of-the-art mini LED display that uses over 10000 LEDs, this display offers up to 1000 nuts of full screen brightness. And, at its peak, the 12,9-inch iPad Pro offered 1600 nits of brightness.

If you love the sound of using an iPad for your creative work, you'll love that the Liquid Retina XDR display offers a 1 million to 1 contrast ratio, helping to improve your workflow. As a result, the visuals are more stunning and capture that of the real world. For example, you will be able to clearly see subtle details in dark images and capture highlights. In fact, the new iPad Pros are ideal for people who work on the go or who want to go from a computer to a more compact device.

In addition to brightness, this new screen has a wide P3 color gamut and a resolution of 5,59 million pixels. For smoother and faster load speeds, it features a 120Hz refresh range and is compatible with HDR and Dolby Vision content.
