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

[Love-hate 🍏 relationship]

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 long, etc

i'm surprised that apple who cares about health has never done anything in that regards and actually has some of the worst screens in that aspect (alongside terrible ips response times)

do you think there's any chance the tandem oled macbook pros will be easier on the eye ?

truth be told, im holding off upgrading from an M1, because I don't currently NEED an upgrade, and the oled redesign is tempting...but if there's no chance for apple to make it decent for readers, I suppose I might as well buy the m4

I've never heard of this problem from anyone before, so I'm going to hazard a guess that your sensitivity to this is well out of the norm and Apple is unlikely to target fixes to such a small percentage of users (not sure where the "good chunk" assertion comes in, do you have sources on that?)

Well well well

Apple uses Tandem OLED displays sourced from LG Display nothing in LGs portfolio has DC dimming. It will likely be a Game changer with a 16” Tandem OLED display with 280hz ProMotion and FreeSync or Apple’s version of VRR.

I don't remember how it works but their tandem oled tvs and monitors don't flicker and don't have dc either
