On November 16, it was reported that industry analyst Ross Young and foreign media 9to5Mac have confirmed through research that Apple will use a quantum dot thin-film Mini LED panel for the first time in the 2024 M4 MacBook Pro, although this change has not appeared in official announcements.
Ross Young claims that this is the first time Apple has used quantum dot display technology in its products. The company chose a quantum dot film that does not contain cadmium (Cd), which is harmful to the human body, instead of the traditional red KSF fluorescent film solution, which is usually used in television manufacturing. Apple has now introduced this technology into its own MacBook Pro product line.

Ross Young believes that Apple's new panel offers improvements in performance, color gamut, and environmental friendliness, while also providing better motion picture performance. According to information obtained from Apple's official website, the maximum SDR brightness of the M4 MacBook Pro has been increased to 1000 nits, compared to 600 nits for the 2021-2023 models.
However, despite adopting quantum dot technology, the basic display technology of the M4 MacBook Pro is still an IPS panel with Mini LED backlighting. The rumored OLED MacBook Pro is expected to be several years away. (Image source: IT Home)
