Neo Display Thoughts?

[CSAppleFan]

Hi everyone, I recently purchased a Neo. I love everything about it except the display. The design and feel of it are my favorite out of any current Mac.

Sometimes it seems fine and other times it appears blurry or not crisp/clear. I think the brightness of the display is more than enough.

I do have an M5 iPad Pro and have been accustomed to MBA's and MBP's. I'm thinking my eyes might just be too sensitive to quality difference.

Has anyone else had this experience yet with the Neo's display?

The screen in the neon is fine for my purposes.

I got a Neo for my wife. She's coming from a 2018 MBA and uses Windoze PCs at work. She has not complained about the display and the NEO meets her personal computing needs. The Neo is no iPad Pro, MBA nor MBP. It caters to its target audience - and quite successfully, I might add.

I'm sorry if I sound like I'm trolling - that is not my intent. I just find it amusing that there are quite a few threads here that are complaining about what the Neo is not. The Neo fills a niche just like the MBA and MBP do theirs.

I was concerned I would find the Neo's display too inferior to my M1 12.9 iPad Pro's promotion display. Maybe I don't have a discerning eye for computer screens, but my perception of the Neo's screen is it's fantastic.

I'm not really complaining about it just stating my opinion from my usage of it so far through my eyes. I guess my eyes are only meant for the better displays 🙂

I didn't take your post as complaining. I do understand that you are observing the display quality differences among the Neo, MBA and MBP just as I did. And I am pleasantly surprised at the sound quality of the Neo vs what I expected. 🙂

Your problem is you are expecting M5 iPad Pro results from the Neo. Lower your expectation and you will be fine. I go back and forth between the same two devices all the time and it's not a big deal for me.

We’re all wired a bit different. I only eat high end ice cream - I can taste the difference. But at 63 sounds and visual acuity ain’t what it used to be. I can seamlessly go from one pixel density to another and don’t notice a difference. I have tinnitus so who knows what frequencies I’m dropping.
