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

Really happy this is getting people's attention.

I got sensitive eyes and can sense even previous gens' pwm at 15kHz. At 240Hz, I can probably see the pixels turning on and off! Only joking obviously. But I can definitely perceive the unstable luminosity. I can easily spot the OLED screens from 15ft away.

Definitely not going to upgrade. Sadly, this is most likely going to be the standard for Apple going forward.
