All I have to say is that the tandem oled on my ipad pro still, everytime I use it, makes me wow. It is an absolute pleasure to look at and watch things on. It feels like I'm watching real life and I love it.

Using it in a dark room is weird at times. The pure blacks create the strange illusion of holding something lit that you cannot see.

I spent a few minutes at an Apple Store holding an iPad Pro with tandem OLED, and I couldn't perceive any difference with the iPad Air right beside it. (The even more expensive nano texture option was worse. It simply felt blurry.)

  That would be a worse case scenario. The Apple stores are incredibly brightly lit, and you’ll be hard pressed to notice wining isn’t differences between any display type in such an environment. These displays and their content are intended to impress in media viewing situations in which you’ll light control accordingly. They’ll still look good outside of that, but they offer so much more when you want to dim the lights and kick back with one on the couch with a movie or whatever. Now if I could only get one in a size I cared about, I could be rid of LCD permanently. Alas, I doubt I’ll see this in a size suitable for what I want it for in less than 5 years or more.

    There have been rumors of the MacBook Pros moving to OLED for a few years now. Seems unlikely they’d redesign with something worse than the iPad Pro. I wonder if they’re waiting for yield issues on larger panels or if it’s just pure cost at the moment.

  The amazing thing about the nano texture is how it absolutely kills reflections compared to the normal option. I agree there is a sharpness sacrifice to get there.

  One needs to use them in their personal lighting situations, not in a store. I have both the current and prior iPad Pro version. IPS+Mini LED and the Tandem OLED. The IPS version was already great. The Tandem OLED is generally better, but often not by that much. It's also a bit brighter. Both are quite a bit better than the normal iPad displays. I've seen the nano texture version of the Tandem OLED. Reflections are much less, but in brighter surroundings, the image is not that dark. But again, it all depends on the personal lighting situations.
