MacBook Pro - Review - part 4 - Display

Following the iMAC’s design success, the black frame around the display is covered by a glass panel. The design should keep the monitor stable and resistant. Unfortunately, the opaque display isn’t available anymore. However, the reflection is limited unless there is a light supply right behind the shoulders. The consumption is reduced and it’s worth mentioning Apple’s ecological mark on the new model: it doesn’t contain mercury or arsenic.

The colors on the MacBook Pro’s monitor are definitely very interesting, appearing stronger and real. Tests have demonstrated the same, revealing a maximum contrast of 487:1 which is rather good. The grey gradients have showed minimum steps, but only looking up closer. Subjectively, the reaction speed is also sufficient.

As for most notebooks nowadays, the vertical visual angle’s stability is partially limited. From the sides, the contrast is held longer. On an overall, the visual angles are rather good and do not pose any problems to the user.
