The 2,000-Nit OLED in Apple’s New MacBook Is a Big Deal

So, why did Apple wait over a decade to release its own touchscreen OLED MacBook Pro? The simple answer for the long wait is that the company wanted to do it “the Apple way.” But in this case, “the Apple way” involves somehow cranking up the display to 2,000 nits, solving both the brightness and glare problems that OLED laptops have always suffered from.

Having seen the thing with my own eyes at a media event today in Los Angeles, I can tell you that this screen is the real deal.

Apple is using a tandem OLED panel, the same layer-stacking technology used in the OLED iPad Pro.
