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

Apple is pretty bad at testing, they released the first Retina MBP with ghosting that remained for a minute or even more (I had one). I use Apple products a lot, but one thing I learnt many many years ago, is never buy the first of anything new they do. Most of the time it will be fine, but when it’s not it’s just bad.

In comparison to who? certainly can’t be talking about the rest of the computer industry because they’re still standardized on 4K monitors…

I also had one, for probably 6 years or so, and never experienced this.
