You dont need to wait for an OLED ipad.. I have a s8+ and the 12.9 m1 .. There is no comparison between the two screens.
In theory, the s8+ is better coz no blooming etc.
In practice, the HDR rendering on the mini LED is leagues better than the s8+
You already seem to have the 16 mbp.. I hope you are using infuse or at least IINA for media..
Plex / vlc HDR support is broken on macbook and you would be doing yourself a disservice if you are not using a HDR compliant player on that beastly HDR screen (afaik, currently only infuse and optimus player fullly support HDR.. IINNA also does but its a bit hit/miss)
Didnât know about Infuse or Optimus players tbh, I used to have INNA since everyone recommended it on Reddit afaik but these players are not much used on my machine since I stream mostly YouTube etc. apart from occasional Netflix and Apple TV. Dolby Vision on official Apple TV app was awesome none the less.
Mini LED doesnât seems natural to me especially in bright HDR scenes, I prefer OLEDs over it if I want to watch videos and stuff. I know brightness wonât be as good but still.
Mini led is so bright that sometimes it is borderline uncomfortable in a dark room. It is how HDR is suppesed to be. Real world is also sometimes uncomfortably bright especially when moving from dark to bright areas.
My tv is far better in this aspect. May be because the 55 inch size lightens up the room a lot so the discomfort is not there plus the lack of peak brightness compared to an iPad pro.
But if I turn on some mild ambient lights then the experience is really good. HDR is so prominent on an iPad pro that even Ted Lasso looks fantastic.
I think there should be an option to turn it off. Not everytime I want to look at HDR especially at night.
Recently I build a hackintosh (everything is working except sleep and airdrop) on HP mini and needless to say Iâm very much impressed with the default application. I mean for reading specially epubs iBooks are great.
I use a very minimal app called Tyke. Itâs more of a productivity tool, gives you a easy to access notepad sort of thing for anything and lives in your top bar whatever it is called, next to wifi icon. I use it to keep snippets of text for easy access,
i tried non pro version and then bought magnet, none of these were giving me what i wanted. As i mentioned, i use 32" 4K screen and wanted to split screen into 3 zones. 60% percent vertical zone and 40% area into two horizontal zone. This is easily possible in fanzyzone, and was able achieve in BetterSnapTool. So immediately contacted apple support to cancel magnet purchase got refund of 999rs and purchased bettersnaptool for 299.
for making using mice on MacOS bearable. 7 day trial, 800 rupees one time payment.
free and open source alternative that does not work right now for gestures:
Thereâs also LinearMouse and MOS that are FOSS but donât do gestures.
Thereâs also SteerMouse and xGestures which I havenât tried but found from this thread: macapps/comments/wktwyy
Itâs truly infuriating how bad the mouse experience on MacOS became once MacMouseFix stopped working for me. I have been considering getting a Magic Trackpad for a week now.
With the increasing popularity of MacOS - I think, the time is right to make this thread. As someone who uses both Mac and Windows, making sure that both systems run alike (I find Windows more flexible still) is important. Here are some tools I find indispensible. I hope to learn more from people who are more adept than I am (I am not at all adept).
**I am not associated with any of the programs listed here. I am merely a user!
Clipboard tools **
As someone who is tired of the lack of clipboard managers, I have long been in search of good ones. I know there are a few more with more functionalities, but these two apps serve me well. If there are more, I would love to learn about them.**
Screenshot Tool**
I use a lot of screenshots and all. I would love for Shottr to have video capture abilities too. But the screenshot tool does a great job of being a great alternative to ShareX on the Mac. It does not record video, but I guess, that is still okay for me.
Context Menu
True to its name, it does a lot of supercharging. Once I started using this, there was no way for me to go back. This is an all-round brilliant tool with some really nifty features and ability to configure shortcut keys to everything from minimising all windows to swiping away notifications.
