Comment by jareklupinski | original | The MacBook Pro's OLED PWM Problem: When a 'Better' Display Becomes Worse to Use

curious; do you mean like a red plastic see-thru filter applied on top of the screen (filtering the backlight too, like those screen protectors), or a software screen effect that makes everything on screen appear red (which on an OLED screen would probably be the same thing)?

red/blue/green detectors (cones) in our eyes use different paths and have different "refresh rates" than luminous intensity sensors (rods), im wondering if filtering to a single color makes the rods take over for visual pattern processing
