Isn’t the notch strictly an improvement? The alternative is to lose that top area to a bezel. This feels like extra screen for free.

- yellowapple 5y agoIt's extra screen, but with limited utility due to that notch being there. Having that extra screen without the notch would've been even better.
- 00deadbeef 5y agoIt is and it isn't. You are getting extra space for free, but some people like me have a very full menu bar and it's going to get very awkward with the notch.

- throwawaysea 5y agoVery cool. Are there any other such tools you would recommend as a must-install?
- mrtranscendence 5y agoI agree with you on paper but I don't like how the notch just looks out of place. I don't see any way around it here, though; to get decent laptop cameras something has to give.
- grishka 5y agoProbably can be fixed in software by filling the areas on the sides of the notch with black and moving the menu bar below the notch. Since this is a mini-LED display, the black is supposed to be pitch-black.
- 00deadbeef 5y agoI think it depends where the dimming zones are. If they're behind the relocated menu then you might see blooming above it.
