Big Apple display news, they have adopted quantum dots for the first time. The latest MacBook Pro’s (M4) use a quantum dot (QD) film rather than a red KSF phosphor film. Young says this provides the latest models with two advantages over earlier models.

Apple's new M4 MacBook Pro has a significant upgrade to the display, and the company somehow forgot to mention it.

The biggest reason to upgrade to the MacBook Pro M4 is the performance. This machine gets the newest M4 chip that is based on a 3-nanometer process, promising the fastest CPU core and better multithreaded performance than M3. Based on our testing, the M4 blows a lot of the competition away but not on every test.

The M4 MacBook Pro models may be featuring quantum dot technology. The jury is still out on whether these displays are better than before.

As I wrote in my review, my MacBook Pro M4 is a performance beast that I use hours a day. And it has a benefit I didn’t even realize. In an X post display analyst Ross Young says Apple used a quantum dot film instead of a red KSF phosphor film in the laptop.
