iPad Mini 4 Display Has Improved Color Gamut and Lower Reflectance

DisplayMate has tested (http://www.displaymate.com/news.html#iPad_mini_4) the iPad mini 4 (http://www.macrumors.com/2015/09/09/apple-announces-ipad-mini-4-for-399/) display and found that its colors and color accuracy are on par with the iPad Air 2, iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, with an improved 101% color gamut. All previous iPad mini models had 62% color gamut with poorer color saturation, according to the company's analysis.

 iPad mini 4 also has a record-low 2% screen reflectance, compared to 6.5% reflectance for the iPad mini 3 and and 9% reflectance for the original iPad mini. This gives the iPad mini 4 a contrasting rating in high ambient light of 225, which in layman's terms means the tablet has improved readability in real-world viewing conditions.
 
 DisplayMate Technologies President Ray Soneira:

But in terms of real-world viewing conditions, the record low 2.0% screen Reflectance actually makes a bigger visual difference for the image colors and image contrast that you actually see because ambient light washes out and degrades the displayed images and reduces screen readability - so [

the iPad mini 4's] record low Reflectance actually makes a bigger difference!DisplayMate says the iPad mini 4 has between 2.5x and 3.5x higher contrast in ambient light than the iPad mini 3 and most other tablets, which mainly fall in the range of 5.0% to 6.5% screen reflectance. iPad Air 2 was the previous record holder with 2.5% screen reflectance, but the iPad mini 4 was 36% better per this test.
 
 DisplayMate will provide in-depth analysis of the iPad mini 4 display when the iPad Pro (http://www.macrumors.com/2015/09/09/apple-announces-12-9-inch-ipad-pro/) launches in November.
