is there any chance for apple to propose DC dimming on the next OLED macbook pros? because otherwise it might be unusable for a good amount of users
pwm is terrible on these tandem oled, and apple hasn't done anything (such as dc dimming) to make it more manageable if you're not sensitive to it you're lucky, but there's a good chunk of the population that can actually feel it and have eyesore, headaches, difficulty reading and focusing for...- Love-hate 🍏 relationship
