Liquid Retina XDR display repairs for A2485 models in Sydney
At Mac Screen Repair Sydney we specialise in the aspects of screen repair for the MacBook Pro 16 inch M1. The A2485 uses a Liquid Retina XDR display with ProMotion at 3456 x 2234 resolution. Available with M1 Pro or M1 Max chips. We offer LCD only replacement and full display assembly depending on what is required.
The M1 16 inch was the first Apple Silicon 16 inch Pro. Major redesign with the notch display, MagSafe return, and incredible performance. Popular with video editors and developers. Weve worked on plenty of these machines.
The team at Mac Screen Repair Sydney assess every machine before recommending a repair approach. LCD only replacement means we swap out the damaged panel but keep your existing aluminium housing. The housing cant have dents or bends for this to work. If theres housing damage then full display assembly replacement is required.
LCD only repair preserves your True Tone calibration since the housing with its calibration data stays in place. Full assembly means new housing and True Tone wont transfer.
The A2485 display uses mini-LED backlighting with ProMotion for 120Hz refresh. True Tone colour adjustment is included. The calibration data lives in the display housing. With LCD only repair True Tone keeps working. Full assembly and True Tone doesnt transfer.
The XDR display is exceptional for HDR content. Professional editors love it. Worth repairing properly.
Impact cracks from drops are the main thing. The large 16 inch display has more surface area to damage. Pressure damage where something presses against the closed lid. The mini-LED display can fail in sections showing dark patches or distortion. Notch area damage from impacts.
Professional machines get used heavily. Accidents happen.
Both chip variants use the same display assembly in the 16 inch chassis. Whether you have M1 Pro or M1 Max doesnt affect the screen repair. The A2485 model number covers both versions.
The Max has more GPU cores but display wise theyre identical.
