I had previously returned a MBP16 because the display was mysteriously causing eye strain literally seconds after use.
However today after fiddling with a store model MBP16 which didn't seem to be nearly as bad, I noticed it had the "automatically adjust brightness" setting disabled and also brightness maxed out.
I played around with it and noticed two peculiar things:
1. If "automatically adjust brightness" is ON, the brightness never reaches the display's true max brightness. It caps at something around 90-95%. I have no idea why this is the case.
2. If the brightness was anything but "true max", I would get eyestrain.
If anyone out there is experiencing eye strain and still has their MBP16, could you try disabling auto brightness, setting brightness to max, and see if it alleviates the issue?
