00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:07,040
whether you love apple hate them or feel nothing at all they do a great job of

2
00:00:05,279 --> 00:00:12,800
capturing the imagination of would-be tech buyers with sexy sounding branding

3
00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:14,240
like liquid retina xdr one of the major

4
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:19,920
features that they're pushing with their new macbook pro lineup but what the heck

5
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:22,560
does liquid retina xdr mean is it just

6
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:24,880
more marketing fluff or is there more to it

7
00:00:23,279 --> 00:00:29,760
let's start by quickly talking about what a retina display is you probably

8
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:33,920
first heard the term quite a while ago as apple's been using it since the days

9
00:00:31,519 --> 00:00:38,320
of the iphone 4 and all it means is that the display has a pixel density that is

10
00:00:36,079 --> 00:00:42,879
high enough that you can't make out individual pixels at a normal viewing

11
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:47,120
distance so really just about any display is a retina display if you're

12
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:50,559
sitting far enough away from it though of course pixel density is still

13
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:54,320
important if you're holding a phone close to your face or sitting ARM's

14
00:00:52,480 --> 00:00:59,199
length away from your laptop apple then started using the term liquid

15
00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:04,559
retina in 2018 with the release of the iphone 10r but the iphone 10r was

16
00:01:02,239 --> 00:01:08,400
actually a lower priced model within the iphone 10 lineup so

17
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:13,200
liquid retina was just a cool way of saying that the phone had a relatively

18
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:18,799
bog standard liquid crystal or lcd screen similar to what you'd find in

19
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:22,320
completely average tvs or monitors so is

20
00:01:18,799 --> 00:01:24,479
the new liquid retina xdr on the 2021

21
00:01:22,320 --> 00:01:27,520
macbook pros and ipad pros just more marketing hype it turns out the answer

22
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:33,280
is not quite the xdr stands for extreme

23
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:38,000
dynamic range and after we get through the mandatory eye roll over the use of x

24
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:42,880
for extreme it turns out that apple has put some really interesting tech into

25
00:01:40,320 --> 00:01:47,520
these new displays for deeper blacks and crisper colors meister task is an easy

26
00:01:45,439 --> 00:01:51,920
to use intuitive visual collaboration tool for task and project management you

27
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:55,920
can get organized with a simple kanban style overview of all of your tasks and

28
00:01:54,079 --> 00:01:59,840
users are able to collaborate and work together more effectively as all files

29
00:01:58,159 --> 00:02:03,840
information and documents related to the task can be stored in one centralized

30
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:07,040
place you can add as many users to your projects as you need and naturally

31
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:11,360
interact with them using comments mentions and reactions so align your

32
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:15,360
team like never before with meister task using the link in the video description

33
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:20,319
probably the most important improvement apple brought to liquid retina xdr is

34
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:23,599
the array of mini leds that backlight the display

35
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:28,800
all lcd screens need a backlight to function but nicer displays tend to have

36
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:33,680
more and brighter leds for their backlights that allow finer control over

37
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:38,560
smaller areas of the screen this allows them to be made dimmer to deepen shadows

38
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:43,680
or to be made brighter to make bright details pop the liquid retina xdr

39
00:02:40,879 --> 00:02:48,400
display in the ipad pro has more than 10 000 mini leds backlighting it organized

40
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:53,040
into nearly 2600 individual dimming zones and this is all fit into a

41
00:02:50,959 --> 00:02:56,800
relatively small tablet screen meaning that apple had to custom engineer its

42
00:02:55,040 --> 00:03:02,000
own manufacturing methods because packing so many tiny leds into a small

43
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:07,519
space is a pretty delicate operation but the result is a display that can for

44
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:10,720
supported content get to a thousand nits

45
00:03:07,519 --> 00:03:12,959
across the screen and 1600 nits in

46
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:16,640
smaller areas that's a high number for any display but it's especially

47
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:20,400
impressive for a mobile device that has to run on battery and it's something

48
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:24,319
that might be a selling point for folks who want to watch HDR content on their

49
00:03:22,159 --> 00:03:30,560
laptop or tablet assuming they have deep enough pockets but mini led as cool as

50
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:33,599
it is still isn't quite as good in terms

51
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:35,680
of contrast as an OLED display which has

52
00:03:33,599 --> 00:03:39,920
individual pixels that produce their own light and rumors are flying that apple

53
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:44,640
may transition to OLED for some of its future ipad models like they've already

54
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:48,959
done on the iphone but considering that OLED is an expensive difficult to

55
00:03:46,959 --> 00:03:52,560
produce technology that typically can't get as bright as melee led not to

56
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:56,480
mention the fact that oleds can suffer from burning if you leave ui elements on

57
00:03:54,720 --> 00:04:02,159
the screen for long enough we might be seeing liquid retina xdr and its mini

58
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:06,159
leds on apple products for quite a while maybe they'll sell it to us with a less

59
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:10,879
gimmicky name down the road but i wouldn't really bet on it thanks for
