A few days ago I upgraded my iPad from a M2 (mini-LED) to a brand new iPad M5 that has a gorgeous OLED display.
I was wondering, with an OLED iPad, what’s the best practice for watching HDR movies in Infuse? Should I put the device at full brightness like what we need to do with a TV? With my older mini-LED iPad it was impossible because at high brightness the blooming was too distracting, especially in a dark room. But it’s not an issue with the OLED display.
What’s the best thing to do for watching HDR content in Infuse?
If Vincent’s recommendation for iPhone still holds and applies to iPad, then turning up brightness to 100% and disabling auto-brightness will provide the greatest HDR impact.

Just finished watching a HDR movie on the OLED iPad and yeah, 100% brightness definitely seems the way to go.
That OLED screen is amazing! I was afraid that max brightness would be too bright while watching in a dark room, but it was perfectly alright. Like watching HDR on a (very high quality) OLED TV, really.
It’s a way better experience than the mini-LED I had on the previous iPad. Well, don’t get me wrong, the mini-LED display was quite good, but there is a huge difference between the two screens for HDR.
What was really bothering me when watching HDR content on the mini-LED in a dark room was the blooming, of course, but above all it was what I would describe as a kind of “black blotch” effect. Occasionally in some dark scenes, it’s like if the display couldn’t resolve a zone of adjacent black and near-black pixels and would “blotch” everything together. I could never get used to it.
Nothing like that is happening with the OLED. Such a better experience. Beautiful, stable contrast.
