On November 16, display industry analyst Ross Young, in collaboration with foreign media 9to5Mac, confirmed that Apple’s 2024 M4 MacBook Pro will be the first to feature a quantum dot film Mini LED panel. However, this change has not been highlighted in Apple’s official marketing materials.
According to Ross Young, this marks Apple’s first use of quantum dot display technology in its products. The company has chosen a quantum dot film that does not contain harmful cadmium (Cd), as opposed to the traditional red KSF phosphor film solution, which is typically used in television manufacturing. Apple is introducing this technology to its MacBook Pro product line.
Ross Young believes the new panel will offer improvements in performance, color gamut, and environmental impact, along with better motion picture performance. According to information from Apple’s official website, the maximum SDR brightness of the 2024 M4 MacBook Pro has increased to 1000 nits, up from 600 nits in the 2021-2023 models.
Although the quantum dot technology is included, the M4 MacBook Pro’s base display technology is still an IPS panel with Mini LED backlighting. The rumored OLED MacBook Pro is expected to take a few more years before launch.
