Apple's latest M4-powered MacBook Pro is a pretty stellar laptop. We gave it a score of 92 in our review, due in part to its great screen.

However, there's another aspect of the screen about which Apple has strangely been keeping mum.As noted by display expert Ross Young, Apple used a quantum dot (QD) film instead of a red KSF phosphor film on the display.
