Pro?Display?XDR
Believing is seeing.
The first 32-inch Retina 6K display ever. Up to 1,600 nits of brightness. An astonishing 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio and a superwide viewing angle. Over a billion colours presented with exceptional accuracy. And dynamic range that transforms the professional workflow. Introducing Apple Pro Display?XDR, the world’s best pro?display.
XDR. Dynamic range to the extreme.
The contrast your eyes see between brightness and darkness is very challenging to reproduce in a display, leading to?the?development of High Dynamic Range (HDR). With?breakthrough backlighting technology, Pro?Display?XDR takes brightness, contrast and colour?to a new level. Far beyond HDR, it’s Extreme Dynamic Range?(XDR).
A brighter idea.
Typical desktop displays have sustained brightness around 350 nits. Some pro displays exceed this, but most can only sustain it for short periods of time. Pro?Display?XDR produces an industry-leading 1,000 nits of full-screen sustained brightness and 1,600 nits at its peak.1 It gives you the power to maintain extreme brightness without ever dimming. Along with efficient backlight control, this delivers outstanding contrast between the brightest brights and the blackest blacks. The result is an incredible 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio and stunningly real XDR?imagery.
Show your truest?colours.
Pro?Display?XDR always gives you the truest representation of your work. A P3 wide colour gamut provides a colour palette capable of creating the most vibrant imagery. With true 10?bit colour, Pro?Display?XDR can produce more than a billion colours with extreme accuracy. State?of?the-art calibration and a sophisticated algorithm ensure that you get the highest-quality colour?possible.
LED in a whole new light.
True-to-life imagery requires having extremely bright areas of the screen next to extremely dark areas. Without precise backlight control, this can cause an unintended glow called blooming. Pro?Display?XDR is able to dramatically reduce blooming using advanced LED technology, light shaping and intelligent image?processing.
Innovation in every?layer.
Every aspect of the light imaging system in Pro?Display?XDR is crucial to the overall quality of what you see on screen. Each element builds on top of the last to create a display with unbelievable brightness and?contrast.
576 blue LEDs work?together.
Typical LCDs are edge-lit by a strip of white LEDs. The 2D backlighting system in Pro?Display?XDR is unlike any other. It uses a superbright array of 576 blue LEDs that allows for unmatched light control compared with white LEDs. Twelve controllers rapidly modulate each LED so that areas of the screen can be incredibly bright while other areas are incredibly dark. All of this produces an extraordinary contrast that’s the foundation for?XDR.
Light is mixed and?shaped.
For even greater control of light, each LED is treated with a reflective layer, a highly customised lens and a geometrically optimised reflector that are all unique to Pro?Display?XDR. Through a pioneering design, light is reflected, mixed and shaped between two layers to minimise blooming and provide uniform?lighting.
Colour is transformed.
Converting blue light to white is a difficult process that requires extremely precise colour conversion. It’s why most display makers use white LEDs. Pro?Display?XDR accomplishes this conversion with an expertly designed colour transformation sheet made of hundreds of layers that control the light spectrum passing through?them.
Brightness is taken to the?edge.
Pro?Display?XDR extends exceptional image quality to the very edge. To ensure that LEDs along the sides of the display mix well with adjacent ones, a micro-lens array boosts light along the edges. This creates uniform colour and brightness across the entire?screen.
One chip makes it all?possible.
With a massive amount of processing power, the timing controller (TCON) chip uses an algorithm specifically created to analyse and reproduce images. It controls LEDs at over 10 times the refresh rate of the LCD itself, reducing latency and blooming. It’s capable of multiple refresh rates for amazingly smooth playback. Managing both the LED array and LCD pixels, the TCON precisely directs light and colour to bring your work to life with stunning?accuracy.
Superwide viewing?angle.
When multiple people review work together on a single screen, it’s critical that everyone sees the same thing. While most pro desktop displays claim to have a wide viewing angle, in reality, colour and image quality become distorted when seen off-axis. With industry-leading polariser technology, Pro?Display?XDR achieves a superwide viewing angle that maintains exceptional colour and?contrast.

Nano-texture glass.
Light scattered to further reduce?glare.
Less glare.
And even less?glare.
Every Pro?Display?XDR screen is engineered for extremely low reflectivity. And if you’re in an especially uncontrolled lighting environment, there’s an innovative matt option with nano?texture glass. Typical matt displays have a coating added to their surface that scatters light. However, these coatings lower contrast while producing unwanted haze and sparkle. The nano-texture on Pro?Display?XDR is actually etched into the glass at the nanometre level. The result is a screen with beautiful image quality that maintains contrast while scattering light to reduce glare to the barest?minimum.
Goes with the workflow.
Professionals require a lot from their displays. But each person has different needs. Resolution, reference modes, reliable calibration. Pro?Display?XDR has everything you need?in?a modern workflow, bringing a new level of efficiency to every production. It wasn’t just made for?the?pro workflow. It redefines?it.

Retina 6K. Expand your view.
Higher resolution means more than just a better-quality image. With a Retina?6K display, Pro?Display?XDR gives you nearly 40 per cent more screen real estate than a 5K display. While most displays max out at around 150 pixels per inch (ppi), our Retina display has 218 ppi, providing astoundingly sharp and detailed imagery. It’s a massive creative canvas that easily fits 4K content, your tools and much more all on one?screen.
Many creatives. One vision.
Pro video workflows involve a range of professionals with unique setups. What’s always been missing is the ability to see the same image across an entire production. Pro?Display?XDR allows pros at every point in the process to experience exactly the same groundbreaking picture?quality.

From the start of a shoot, Pro?Display?XDR reveals the content you’re capturing with incredible accuracy.
Post-production.
Image reproduction remains consistent across every point of your workflow, ensuring that everyone is always on the same page.
Reference modes.
It’s easy to adjust Pro Display XDR to match the requirements of HDR, HD, SD video, digital cinema and broader uses such as photography, web development, design and print. Just select a mode, and the display reconfigures itself to match a specified colour space, white point, gamma and brightness. You even have the ability to create custom reference modes.
True Tone.
The lighting around you can affect the way you see onscreen colours. True Tone on Pro?Display?XDR uses a breakthrough dual ambient light sensor design — with a sensor on the front and another on the back — to better gauge your overall lighting environment. This facilitates more exact adjustments to the colour and intensity of your display, so you can have accurate viewing in all lighting?conditions.
Expertly calibrated.
Pro?Display?XDR is optimised to more than meet the standards of creative professionals. Every display goes through our state-of-the-art colour calibration. Each of the display’s 576 LEDs is also individually calibrated and has its light profile stored. An algorithm then uses this information to determine the exact light intensity at which each LED should be modulated to produce the best possible?image.
A beautiful picture is only part of the?story.
Pro?Display?XDR is stunning every way you look at it. Its screen stretches edge to edge with just a 9?millimetre border, so your work takes centre stage. The aluminium enclosure is just 2.7 centimetres thick and features an innovative lattice pattern that reduces weight and increases?airflow.
More air than metal.
The lattice pattern machined into the aluminium has many advantages. It more than doubles the surface area exposed to air, facilitating additional airflow and acting as a heat sink. This allows for fast and quiet cooling, enabling Pro?Display?XDR to sustain an extreme level of brightness indefinitely. Inlet and exhaust vents work through this pattern to draw in cool air and eject hot air away from the system, limiting the potential for hot air to be?reingested.
Elevate your work. And rotate it too.
Every aspect of Pro?Display?XDR was designed with pros in mind. Pro Stand is no exception. Height, tilt, rotation — it’s completely adjustable. It’s stable without taking up much space. And its ability to rotate to landscape or portrait makes it perfect for any type of?work.
Fine-tuned fine?tuning.
Pro?Stand makes every adjustment of your display feel seamless. Precision tilting and 120 millimetres of height adjustment help Pro?Display?XDR adapt to any viewing condition. The angle of the display stays true even as you adjust the height. With Pro?Stand, you get a display that feels weightless, moves effortlessly where you want it and stays exactly where you leave?it.
Every side is its good?side.
Pro?Stand gives you the ability to move between landscape and portrait whenever you want. All you have to do is unlock the slider and turn the display. Whether you’re a developer, a photographer or a composer, you can see more of your work without endless?scrolling.
