It can be quite difficult to find an external monitor that matches the quality of the Mini Led XDR display in the new 14 and 16 M1 Pro/M1 Max MacBook Pros - That's why I think the 12.9" M1 iPad Pro is actually the best option for users looking for a high quality cinema display... that just so happens to be an iPad!

Super solid review Dude! I was wondering about that option with Davinci Resolve and boom! My thoughts have been heard. 😅👍
Thanks for that and keep creating epic vids! 🔥
Excellent video! You answered all of my questions and this will help my workflow so much! I couldn't agree more about how it's a beautiful display AND and ipad - and now I'm adding even more value to my IPP. Planning to learn DaVinci and can't wait to use it with this setup. Thanks so much!!
Wow! Another great and helpful video!
This is a smart solution. Love it. Thanks!!
Fantastic review, man!
That New York Times piece is a feather in the cap!
Love this idea to get dual displays. Pretty positive I'll be testing this out!
Just tested it!!! It’s amazing!! Thank you!
killer!
Loved the video Patrick, I literately got the speed editor 2 days ago and was looking for a video that would touch on the ipad and davinci resolve and you did just that haha! Loved it, thank you so much for the video!
I just stumbled on to this myself, and wow fabulous! I have not tried it wired. Thanks for the tip.
great idea with the ipad. thanks for sharing this. also really nice lighting and composition in this video. I get really tired of the same setup by everyone else.
So happy to have this! I got the 14” pro but miss doing masking in Lightroom with the Apple Pencil. Now I can just slide my Lightroom over use the pencil and slide it back to the Mac. Now I need to upgrade my iPad Pro to that mini LED one lol. This new 14” screen is incredible!
I did notice that the iPads mini LED screens blacks aren’t quite as black as these new MacBooks. Still amazing screens.
the blacks are the same - there just seems to be a few less local dimming zones so you get a lot of glow from surrounding pixels.
I tested both side by side in pitch black and if you load a video with black they both look virtually off.
Sidecar is such an underrated feature. Great video, Patrick!
It slaps!
I use my 11” iPad with my MBP 14” (previously MBP13), using Sidecar (previously Duet Display). To hold the iPad I use a Ulanzi clamp with Arca-Swiss plate on the bottom. On my desk I use a Manfrotto Pixie plus (??) tripod to elevate the iPad above the MBP screen. In the sofa I have a modified IKEA laptop tray (video on my channel) with RAM mounts, now upgraded to a SmallRig arm. I also use the Loupedeck CT as I don’t use DaVinci (yet).
It all works really well and it is very portable. 😎👍🏻
It’s nice to see others using compact setups. Thanks!
Great video!
Ha! You did it! Thank you for sharing!
I forgot we can do this 😆 Thanks for the tip!
Great job Patrick. Keep making more Resolve videos. Lots of us editors are learning Resolve too, so it’s super relevant. Happy Halloween and egg banjo sarnies with ketchup FTW! Ad
hahah im trying to learn it!
Great video!
I've noticed pro motion doesn't seem to kick in and there seems to be a little lag along with under 60 fps frames on the iPad Pro m2 12.9 while using sidecar, do you by any chance have a solution for this?
Ok yeah that intro is hype
Thank you for making this video. This now confirms I shouldn’t return the iPad Pro 12.9 XDR Display for the wrong reasons. It’s great external monitor. And is equivalent to the MBP’s display down to the color accuracy it’s technology of the mini leds.
Holy shit dude. You’re gonna make me feel like Tony Stark when I’m editing lol. IYKYK.
Ever since Sidecar was announced I was stoked to create this dual screen setup. Alas, I have a 2015 MBP which doesn’t support Sidecar. Airdropping files to the iPad Pro is the best I can do for now :\
I love that speed editor, you should do a comparison of it to the Loupedeck
so I started travelling more and I saw this video sir love your stuff. I read that you couldn’t use to iPad pros with a MacBook Pro but I will tell you I got it to work. It’s amazing. I mean that is an asinine amount of real estate with that quality of screen and it works, it really does especially plugged in like you said it just works better. I mean God to this day I use a walk tablet and it always works better plugged in. It just does anyways thanks for this and continued success.
I saw a post you had on THE TWITTER this morning and really appreciate your attitude. I have been following youtube tech for about 3 years now and it really has gotten crowded in the sense that alot of the content feels a bit forced and redundant. Appreciate your honesty and just putting it out there attitude. The ipad pro as second monitor is a great trick for traveling and such. Hoping the m2 macbook has mini led so i can match the two. (right now have the mba m1 paired with a LG 22” ultrafine for mac) Will be interesting to see if Apple really does come out with new monitors. That would really be great. It kinda is so perplexing to me how difficult it is to find a good / great standalone monitor. Have even tried the ones that cost more than an imac and usually issues.
Congratulations on the cloth interview 😁
Clever for sure
This was really cool Patrick, you’re adding to my Christmas list. a list that I’m guessing no one will shop from 🤣
Patrick will
Just sat here wondering if this setup would work for Resolve. Fantastic. Love the idea and could not envisage you could even use the Apple pencil to interact with resolve. Guess this will go viral !!!
I basically abandoned my iPad once I got my first MacBook so I'm definitely going to try this now
Thats was one hell of a storm out there
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the resolve speed editor. I'm a Premiere user myself but recently got the speed editor and resolve to be able to better sync workflow and projects with my business partner who uses resolve exclusively. I'm kind of struggling with it though. I find it not as intuitive as I want it to be. Unfortunately. Maybe I just need to spend more time with it but I keep reaching for the keyboard... anyway, Cheers /Fred
Resolve is a node based editor. Once you go with nodes you never go back
as a resolve editor this solution has me hooked. Im not a fan of the speed editor, call me old school. This iPad screen seems perfect! What an idea!
been watching your vids man! great stuff! - I want to give the speed editor an honest shot but I totally get the turn off. its a whole new learning curve.
@@impatrickt oh awesome! That’s sick 🤙🤙 I think it’s just we all have built muscle memory on what we know
Just
getting a MacBook Pro and will be using it with resolve with a bigger
monitor. Can I have the video output on the smaller 14-inch MacBook
screen. Thanks for any help, Barry Wilkes
Loved the video. So any update on how the speed editor working for you?
I dont use it all anymore I dont see the point unless you really dedicate serious time to learning the workflow and shortcuts.
If I don't need to colorize or have true colors on XDR, a regular iPad still usable with this features as a reference monitor ? or second display
Great content, very insightful! By the way since you have both, really curious to know, any quality differences between the two xdr displays? Thanks
I ya
I about this in the video 🙏
Timely for me. Though I still have a lot of other equipment to consider relevant for filming - and I get a lot of that help from you. I was about to go PC once more in my life, for video processing speed (I thought) - but the M1 seems to have it. I also want to buy the Matterport 3D camera, and process it on the M1 - do you know anything about that Patrick? Sorry - that's enough posting for here. But I love your videos man.
Damn I have the 2020 iPad Pro, its till pretty nice tho
Mastermind. Pinky and the brain style!
Great video, I feel like sidecar is under utilised. Not sure how I’m quantifying that but doesn’t seem to get that much screen time compared to other features. It’s been an absolute game changer for me with Logic Pro, workflow is so much more enjoyable and immersive with the pencil. Bring out a 14” iPad!
Not many folks have the cash for both devices. I can understand it’s a luxury feature.
I see what your saying. For my use case my laptop is in clamshell mode so I just need the power. Managed to pick up a used M1 MacBook Air for $550 and then combined it with existing iPad. It’s a great way to go if your workflow suits it. Obviously in your use case that price definitely starts to stack up.
@@impatricktthanks for the great vide, subscribed! Wanted to ask as a pro photographer, wanting to deliver high quality video, what would you start with as a beginner pro, with a base model 16" M1 pro 16gb/1tb, together with my 2018 6th generation ipad (apple says its compatible with sidecar, don't know how good), or an MBA M1 16gb/256gb with external 1tb ssd and a ipad pro 12.5 xdr with 562/1tb (depending on the deal) pen etc. Both options coming to the same price +/-.
I shoot with Canon 1dx3, thats h.265 and Clog3.
Also, how do you feel the xdr screen makes a big difference for a pro? (I was thinking about better print accuracy and better end product if end-user also has a hdr display, as most high end phones and tvs)
@@mdbedelsohn4307 cant answer this for you. apple has a great return policy, buy the one you can afford, if it's too slow keep saving up.
good video
Hey great video! How did you go about splitting Resolve over the two displays? AFAIK you needed the Resolve E-GPU to do that
I guess its supported now? I just set dual display in the workspace setting from the menu bar
@@impatrickt unreal! I was planning on using this exact setup when my 14” arrives, so very happy to see it working
I love using Sidecar. I use it on my M1 iPad Pro, it replaced my Wacom Cintiq. Sidecar is even better now on Monterrey
yeah its great
@@impatrickt The only downside I ever have is it just quitting on me, particularly when I'm doing a lot of work in Photoshop. Its probably due to RAM usage, as I'm using a base model M1 MacBook Air...I really should update to an M1 Pro MacBook
@@DaveCummings76 over USB?
@@impatrickt Yep, I'd be doing some illustration work in PS over Sidecar and then all of a sudden, the iPad screen goes back to a normal screen, though according to the display set up, its still connected to the iPad. So I have to reset it. Its a mild inconvenience and its very possible that I'm hitting some random thing on my iPad that made it hiccup or something
@@impatrickt actually, I just figured out what I've been doing wrong. As I'm getting into a groove drawing in an app like Photoshop, my hand will accidentally brush up from the bottom of the screen, causing it to go back to the main iPad screen.
Patrick- been several months since video. Do you use the speed editor still, how do you like it. Any other new observations about this set up.
no further thoughts
Hi, how is the battery usage? Some people say that the Macbook lasts only 2-3 hours while using wireless sidecar. Is that true?
No clue
Hey Patrick, would you be able to do a test using a desktop photoshop + sidecar combo. Im super interested to see what the lag is like and if its a viable option to a wacom? No ones really made a video on this since the patches
mainly in terms of drawing/using the basic pen/airbrush tool :)
@@DaProfessor717 I won’t test. Should work the same as I demonstrated in any other app.
In your opinion does the iPad in sidecar alleviate the potential fomo of going 14” over 16”? I’m going to be living on the road more or less for the left 6-12 months and ordered the 16”, but now I’m considering a 14” instead as this sidecar business looks legit! Any experience with final cut?
id personally never buy a 16" and have no desire for one. I don't even use this setup ever.
@@impatrickt thanks for the input dude, appreciate it.
Great video.
It would be even more fun if you could use that Ipad Pro as an reference monitor hooked up to UltraStudio by HDMI.
That’ll never happen
@@impatrickt I understand just confirming how good these displays are and would be grate to use them as a reference monitor
Could you Please measure latency when connected via usb c??
That information could be deal maker/breaker for me
I am looking for additional screen for coding
There’s no discernible latency
@@impatrickt that’s good, thanks for reply
@@brunob8827 did you get this for coding? considering this over the studio display
@@bruceb85 no i didn’t, since I don’t really need an ipad, so it wouldn’t make sense to get it just for this
is the full gamut/range of color transmitted over Sidecar 🤔
thats the quirk I cant figure out - in terms of visual image quality I cant tell the difference between the two.
i mean that’s good enough for me. love this setup
I like the idea of using an iPad Pro as external XDR screen as complement of the MBP Liquid Retina XDR.
The MacBook Pro with the larger storage capacity might be better in backing up the files of both iPhone and iPad.
3:16 the iPad look s really pixelated 🤣jk
you're the guy from that local fire news broadcast
@@impatrickt my greatest hit lol
max tech says xdr on iPad doesn't work if you use sidecar. its only working for iPad itself , not when u use it as external monitor. then its SDR. can you confirm ?
works for me
@@impatrickt sorry he means hdr not xdr , my bad there
Wow! You have a windy day!
Does the iPad pull power from the MacBook when wired connection is used?
It sure does!
@@impatrickt awesome! Now, in your opinion do you think if I’m using one of these new MacBook pros for final cut that I could get most of the same experience by grabbing an older generation 12.9 iPad Pro for a second monitor? I’m trying to gauge how important the new iPad display is for color and brightness while editing as I know I’ll always check my color on the primary monitor before exporting a project. I’m trying to justify saving some money here after the new computer purchase! Lol IPads for me have primarily been content consumption devices, historically anyway.
Any issues with sidecar freezing? Having issues frequently on both wired and wireless
never
@@impatrickt awesome. Are you on the latest versions of iPad OS and MacOS?
@@andrewszeto6678 whatever was out when this video was out
What stand is that for the ipad
It’s a phone stand off Amazon don’t recall the name or brand
Can you do two iPads for 3 displays?
No only one
@@impatrickt actually you can if one of them is either duet display or the other one that escapes my head right now. I actually tried it once with two ipad pros. The issue is the mac I used it on was a bit short on gpu. It would be interesting to see if it worked on the mbp m1.

1 year later… do you still user the speed editor?
I didnt use it once after this video. dont even know where it is.
@@impatrickt 😂
What mic is that?
rode ntg video
Can you use a probe to calibrate your iPod?
Why would you need to calibrate on iPod?
@@impatrickt if you want to do color grading in resolve and are using the iPad as a display to see what you are color grading it helps to have a display that is color calibrated using a probe (such as an XRite or colormonkey or datacolor probe) and software such as DisplayCal to make sure that the colors on your display are accurate and correct the colors if the colors on your display were off; I was asking if an iPad could be calibrated, but if it could be calibrated it would be worth it to buy an iPad and use it as a color-accurate HDR display.
@@wakkowarner8810 you have a misunderstanding of apple displays that I don’t feel like explaining to you
@@impatrickt so in other words you really can't use an apple display for color grading or other applications where a color-accurate fully calibrated display is required
@@wakkowarner8810 actually the exact opposite of what you just said.
Did you purchase apple care why or why not
havent thought about it
I live in a comfy, but 300 square feet studio apartment. I work from home on a sturdy, but very small dinner table on my 13” M1 Pro. Since portability is key for my personal and professional circumstances, would you say the 12.9 XDR would be the best second screen? Or might the 11 inch be the better choice? Money isn’t a factor, as this solution is going to make me more money.
