Apple Vision Pro Screens: 5,000 Nits of Wholesome HDR Goodness

A 100-foot virtual screen with 4K HDR that works with streaming services? Take our money! FlatpanelsHD writes about Apple’s mixed reality headset:

“The headset is equipped with two micro-OLED displays that together feature over 23 million pixels. The displays support HDR (High Dynamic Range) and deliver the picture quality you know from OLED TVs. One of the experiences that Apple highlighted is a large virtual screen that can be used anywhere in simulated environments such as outer space. The screen feels as if it is 100 feet wide, claims Apple, and can be used to enjoy movies and video from Apple TV+ and other streaming services.”

Dagogo Altraide of ColdFusion has this to say about the device’s brightness capability:

“The screens have 5,000 nits of peak brightness, and that’s a lot. The Meta Quest 2, for example, maxes out at about 100 nits of brightness and Sony’s PS VR, about 265 nits. So, 5,000 nits is crazy. According to display analyst Ross Young, this 5,000 nits of peak brightness isn’t going to blind users, but rather provide superior contrast, brighter colors and better highlights than any of the other displays out there today.”
