Comment by rini17 | original | The MacBook Pro's OLED PWM Problem: When a 'Better' Display Becomes Worse to Use
[−]rini17 · 2026-11-15 Sun 14:25 UTC · link
I do have issues with PWM everywhere myself while CRT was not big issue. I did tinker with refresh rates though. And I think difference is that

1. CRT display phosphors had afterglow.

2. the cathode ray was a dot moving across the screen, that might be easier on eyes than whole OLED screen flashing at once.
