Welcome to 2015 Apple.
Edit: here's a cheap Samsung tablet with an AMOLED screen.
AMOLED and OLED have been the standard for a while, and about to move on to QLed...
APPLE only serves you the old crap. It's NEW to YOU.

“QLED” is a backlit LCD technology. Not an improvement over OLED because it’s not using emissive pixels. “QD-OLED” and “Micro-LED” would be an upgrade to OLED and more of a direct comparison.
Apple holds several Micro-LED patents. I suspect they will have a competitive advantage in Micro-LED display tech once the world inevitably shifts to that technology as a replacement of OLED.

No it's not OLED is self lit, like pixel led lights.... LCD is "liquid crystal display" and needs back light shined onto it.
You are correct that Samsung has something even higher quality than that though, but it won't become standard for 10 years or so. It's not even on the main market yet.
Edit: backlit Screens can't fold and roll up like the new Phones, tablets and TV'S...... THEY ARE NOT BACKLIT BECAUSE THEY CAN DO ALL THESE THINGS.

This article makes some very heavy wrong implications.
LED TV’s only refer to the backlight, in fact, all TV’s marketed as LED’s are simply just LCD screen’s with LED backlights, instead of fluorescent backlights. This includes QLED display’s. LED and QLED TV’s are not “self emissive” where each pixel is it’s own light source, and these types of panels still require a separate light source. There are many different kinds of backlights found on these types of screens these days, including Edge Lit, FALD (Full-Array Local Dimming), and Mini-LED, are all different forms of backlighting technology, found in LED TV’s which use a Liquid Crystal Display.
https://www.popsci.com/reviews/qled-vs-oled-vs-mini-led/?amp
https://www.cnet.com/google-amp/news/qled-vs-oled/
OLED screens, on the other hand, are entirely “self emissive” where each individual pixel is it’s own light source, and can produce enough nits on its own to not require a backlight.
In practical terms an LED TV would mean each pixel is its own LED, but the industry at this point as I explained is only referring to the backlight technology of those LCD panels. The industry has coined an entirely different term for this kind of television, where each individual pixel is in fact, an LED, and capable of producing its own light.
This technology or panel type is known as “Micro-LED”, which is a very promising technology, however is still in the early “prototyping phase”. Displays can cost upwards of $100,000 USD currently, and are currently very large (over 100” for a 4K variant). They are currently now starting to produce sizes as small as 75”, but they are not 4K and close to HD/QHD. It will still be a while before you can purchase a 4K 60hz panel in a 65” at affordable prices.

You are still wrong my Dude.
OLED TV's exist, they are just Super expensive, And why we aren't talking about TVs. Most people don't have an OLED TV.
OLED literally stands for "Organic Light Emitting Diodes."
That's how OLED TVs like this exist.
Where is the Back light at? lol
OLED TV's are literally just self lit screens with a silicone matrix board behind them encased in plastic.

Micro LED is not OLED, it’s more comparable to mini LED but with individual pixel “zones”. Micro LED does not exist in the consumer space at this time. This level can be confusing, but you’re conflating a lot of the terms here. QD OLED is also distinct from QLED, the latter is not comparable to mini/micro LED or OLED technologies.
AvengedFADE t1_j7jqffp wrote
I have an OLED TV, I own an LG G2.
An organic LED, and a traditional LED (non-organic) are two very different things.
A QLED screen is just an LCD screen, with an LED backlight, as well as Quantum dots within the LCD panel. LED TV’s are not “self lit” as you so claim, and all LED TV’s still use a backlight, while the panel is either a VA or IPS LCD screen.
The only two TV technologies that are self emissive are OLED (including Samsung’s QD-OLED, RGB OLED with quantum dot layer, and LG’s WRGB OLED, OLED with extra white subpixel), and Micro-LED (uses regular LED’s and Gallium Nitirde, rather than traditional organic compounds which are carbon based that deteriorate with use).
Mini-LED, LED, QLED etc all still use LCD panels, and backlights, and because of that are obviously NOT self emissive.
OLED (QD-OLED & WRGB OLED) as well as Micro-LED, are the only two self emissive technologies.
OLED & LED are two very different technologies and light sources. The OP you were replying too has been correct this whole time, you were the only ones who has the wrong info.

They use clever marketing to trick you. The LEDs that light up the LCD screen are mini... The LCD screen itself is not a mini LED screen..

I have no clue what you’re talking about. The page you’ve linked correctly states the 12.9 inch iPad Pro uses a mini LED display. Yes, it is backlit, that is a tenet of mini LED technology. All mini LED displays are backlit, that’s how it works.

Im well aware that Apple still uses LED in their tablets. That's what this entire post is about.
OLED and AMOLED are self lit, as I have been saying.
I understand that some TVs have a backlight assist for watching in direct sunlight, But completely transparent screens are only possible because of OLEDs.

That is your quote sir.
You literally tried to argue that LED TV are self lit (they are not, the LED is in the backlight only) and that QLED wasn’t backlit LCD technology. Samsung makes a load of QLED TV’s, which all have backlights (either Mini-LED, or FALD). Only QD-OLED, does not have a backlight (again QLED and QD-OLED are two very different technologies)
True TV’s that use self lit LED’s at the pixel level (self emissive) would be mLED or Micro LED (hence why it’s called micro LED), which doesn’t exist yet in consumer form. Organic LED’s are not the same as regular LED’s and are two very different kinds of lighting technologies.

Your confusing QLED and QD-OLED, that’s not a typo, your convoluting two different technologies as one..
QLED is backlit LCD technology, and your the one who wrote up a whole statement to the OP saying he was wrong. Currently there are no consumer self emissive LED TV’s, mLED is trying to change that (again an organic LED is not the same as traditional LED’s which use non-organic compounds). How is that not relevant to the conversation?
Edit: You can edit your comment and it’s still wrong, as the OP said QLED is just LCD with backlight, which it is.
Again QD-OLED, and QLED (which is what OP said), are two different things. QD-OLED doesn’t need a backlight (as OLED are self-emissive), but QLED’s do require a backlight, and are simply just LCD panels, with a QD layer and either FALD or Mini-LED backlighting.
He even said in the OP that QD-OLED is self emissive, you need to re-read the comment you responded too.

PPI is literally the quality of the display.
Apple displays are not True definition and use software upscaling to make it look good on screen.
This is why iPhone photos look great on other iPhones but look kind of shitty when posted online or viewed on a computer. (Comparatively to other cameras)
This is also why images received from Android users look like shit on iPhone screens, and the iPhone users simply think Android phones send bad photos ironically. Lol

Fidelity is what you’re looking for. Not a fan of Apple but their “weird ass displays” is a feature not a bug. It means you get very acceptable PPI without the bullshit advertising around resolution. See 4k phones etc etc.

QD OLED’s are also quantum dot displays, QLED’s are also quantum dot display.
QLED’s are LCD panels with a quantum dot substrate, and an LED backlights (either FALD or mini-LED).
To quote PC mag definition “QLED (Quantum dot LED): A display technology that uses phosphorescent crystals to improve the LED backlight on an LCD TV.
https://www.pcmag.com/encyclopedia/term/qled
QD OLED, are OLED panels, with a quantum dot substrate applied. The OLED transistors are capable of their own light (blue light), and hence do not require a backlight, and the QD are what create the red and green light.
Pc mag definition “QD-OLED (Quantum Dot OLED): An OLED display technology that uses quantum dots as the color creators. When the blue backlight hits the red and green quantum dot subpixels, red and green are generated. Because blue is the backlight, it serves as the blue subpixel. See quantum dot.
https://www.pcmag.com/encyclopedia/term/qd-oled
QD OLED, and QLED are two different display technologies entirely. However Quantum Dots themselves can be applied to more than one screen technology, both LED/LCD TV’s and OLED’s can benefit from this technology, and does not refer to the panel type itself. It is simply a coating.
If your thinking of TV’s which use the quantum dots themselves as a light source (no need for OLED’s, LED’s, LCD’s or a backlight entirely), these are known as NanoLED, or EL-QDLED (Electroluminescent Quantum Dot LED) named after the creator of the company who makes Quantum Dots, Nanosys.

Power has never been the issue. Even the old ipad air is plenty fast to act as a laptop replacement. Its the limitations imposed by ios, which, no matter how hard they try to advertise otherwise, just cannot replace a desktop experience.
I'm a lawyer, so my workflow is pretty simple... lots of emails, research in browser light office use, and adobe acrobat for PDFs. I made the mistake of going out of town for a few days and leaving my laptop at home, and ios was just a nightmare. I was able to scrape by, but it was unbelievable how much shittier the mobile version of everything was. I can't even put a simple jpeg in a signature block. Mobile MS Word couldn't properly load my letterhead without completely fucking up the margins, making it unreadable. Even the "Pro" version acrobat couldn't reorder pages. Just insanity.

No... A laptop with a touchpad (like my dell xps) lacks a lot of utility from the tablet form factor, particularly when it comes to media consumption or (for my workflow) when I use the ipad and pencil as a notepad. I don't want laptop with a touch pad, I want an Ipad I can use like a real computer when I need to do work.
I don't see why we can't just dual boot into ios or mac OS... They sell a super nice keyboard and if you pair that with a BT mouse, its a laptop. But Ios keeps it from being actually useful.
I get it... they want to make money on my twice, but its just ending up with a shitter total product, because now I need to carry around two devices.

The iPad really does feel like it could replace your computer 95% of the time. It's that 5% where you run into one of its arbitrary limitations that reminds you of all it's lacking.
BKachur t1_j7lodn6 wrote
Totally... but its worse than that for. It not just that 5% that ends up killing the experience (although it totally does), its that simple shit takes way longer and is way more cumbersome on ios, which really drags down the whole experience to the point I don't want to use it.
For example, I often have to attach pages from documents I reference to the end of a letter. It is a goddamn nightmare to print pages 8-12 of a twenty-page document and then merge that with another or two other pdfs. I tried to do this on my iPad and it took like 20 min of research, 10 min of messing with the os until I finally pulled it off.
In Windows or mac OS, this is a drag-and-drop operation that takes 15 seconds, but with iOS it takes like 10 times longer, even when I know what to do.
IDK... I'm just mad because it could be perfect. A simple dual-boot option would solve all of these problems, and the only reason we don't have it is that apple thinks they can churn 1~2.5k out of you for a MacBook air or pro. I don't even need touch control in Mac OS because the only reason I'm end up booting into mac OS is when I need to get work done, so I'll have a mouse and keyboard handy. Not that I even need a mouse because apple has a touchpad in their overpriced keyboard.
I'm being a broken record here, but the work's already been done... Apple sells a macos laptop that a keyboard, screen, and touch pad. The iPad has a screen, touchpad and keyboard, what the problem here?

Apple has kept the iPad limited because they want people to buy both a Mac and an iPad, but with iPad sales declining and Mac sales going up it seems to me they miscalculated.

But M1 Macbooks basically negated those advantages.

From the article: Apple plans to introduce new 13-inch MacBook Air, 11.1-inch iPad Pro, and 13-inch iPad Pro models with OLED displays in 2024, according to display industry analyst Ross Young, who has a proven track record with Apple rumors. Apple supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo also expects the first MacBook with an OLED display to launch next year.
Young previously said the new MacBook Air and iPad Pro models would use "two-stack" OLED displays with two red, green, and blue emission layers for increased brightness. He also said all of the devices would support ProMotion for up to a 120Hz refresh rate.
All existing iPads and MacBooks are equipped with backlit LCD displays, whereas OLED displays have self-emitting pixels and do not require backlighting, allowing for higher contrast ratio, greater color accuracy, and lower power consumption. Apple already uses OLED displays for the latest Apple Watch and iPhone models, excluding the iPhone SE.
Meanwhile, the Apple Watch Ultra is expected to switch to a microLED display in 2024, and other Apple products will likely follow over the course of several years. microLED will be the next display technology that Apple adopts after OLED, paving the way for even higher contrast ratio, increased brightness, and lower power consumption.
