By what metrics?
- kuschku 4y agoBy whatever metrics you want, you can choose which panel to install.
- astrange 4y agoYou can beat a 224ppi P3 display with working auto brightness and auto whitepoint (truetone)?
- kuschku 4y agoAuto brightness and auto whitetone aren't features of the panel, but of the OS. Apple just mosattributes that, as always. And yes, 200+ ppi P3 displays are easily available, Apple just buys their panels from the same suppliers that are available to you.
- astrange 4y agoThey are features of other hardware associated with the panel like light sensors. And no, just because a contract manufacturer makes the panels doesn't mean they also designed them.
- 12345hn6789 4y agoIs it even possible to buy a panel with higher ppi than the mac pros? Genuinely asking here. I guess if you value 240hz you could run with that.
- kuschku 4y agoApple usually buys their panels from LG, most of the time you can get better price/performance if you buy the same panel directly or in other assemblies.
- 12345hn6789 4y agoWhere at? Do you have a link?
- kuschku 4y agoI'd recommend modding a panel from a different thinkpad, like from the newer X1 models: https://www.ebay.com/itm/354162731881 https://www.ebay.com/itm/354162731881 This should, with slight modifications, fit any thinkpad with a non-touch 40-pin eDP. Not all T480 will have the right connector, so make sure you've got the right one before buying. This panel will get you full DCI-P3 color gamut at 3840x2160 in 10-bit, but only 500 nits.
- 12345hn6789 4y agoThanks for the link, this is definitely a "nicer" panel than MBP ones. Maybe it is time to jerry-rig my t420 :)
- kuschku 4y agoWell, it definitely beats the MBP at resolution (290 vs 220ppi), has the same colorspace, same brightness, and is much cheaper and easy to replace :)
