Display13-inch Ultra Retina XDR, Tandem OLED; 2752 × 2064, 264 ppi; ProMotion 10–120 Hz

Two OLED layers produce light together, giving higher sustained brightness than single-layer OLED. 1,000 nits SDR, 1,000 nits full-screen and 1,600 nits peak HDR; 2,000,000:1 contrast, P3 and True Tone; anti-reflective coating.

Apple		10.9-inch Liquid Retina, LED-backlit IPS; 2360 × 1640 pixels, 264 ppi; P3 wide colour, True Tone; 500 nits

Full lamination and the anti-reflective coating (1.8% reflectivity) remove the gap between glass and panel and reduce reflections. The spec page does not list a refresh rate and there is no ProMotion. Because of the rounded corners, the screen measures 10.86 inches as a rectangle.

Apple
Glass optionNano-texture glass (optional; only on 1 TB and 2 TB models)

A nanometre-scale texture on the glass scatters reflections to reduce glare in bright rooms; a polishing cloth is included.
