Display10.9-inch (10.8 inches with rounded corners) TFT LCD; 2304 × 1440 (WUXGA+); 90 Hz

90 Hz looks smoother than 60 Hz panels when scrolling and writing with the pen.

Samsung		11-inch Liquid Retina, LED-backlit with IPS technology; 2388 × 1668 pixels, 264 ppi; ProMotion; wide colour (P3), True Tone; anti-reflective coating (1.8% reflectivity)

ProMotion varies the refresh rate up to 120 Hz to keep scrolling and Apple Pencil drawing smooth. SDR brightness is 600 nits max; the mini-LED XDR display of the 12.9-inch model is not used here. The fully laminated display removes the gap between glass and panel so the pencil tip appears closer to the line.
