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

Color rendering with LEDs is so terrible. And buying proper lights is either close to illegal (e.g. halogens) for efficiency reasons, or high quality LEDs are almost impossible to buy - "call us for quote" and similar nonsense.

The absolutely worst were the default indoor lights in Australia. There must have been some giant shipment of worst possible lights that they purchased to light up every bathroom in the country.

This world wide transition to cheap LEDs stole a lot of joy from the world.
