Loosely related, the MacBook Pro 2021 laptop display uses PWM [1], which is said to cause more eye fatigue. Does anyone know more about this? How much does it affect a typical user? Or are there ways to mitigate this?
PWM is also present on iPads and smartphones, but the laptop screen is something that is used more often and for longer periods of time; which is why I'm primarily interested in PWM in laptops.
[1]: "Like on the iPad Pro's Mini-LED screen, we can detect constant PWM flickering at all brightness levels.", https://www.notebookcheck.net/Apple-MacBook-Pro-14-2021-M1-Pro-Laptop-in-Review-How-much-Pro-do-you-get-with-the-base-model.576665.0.html https://www.notebookcheck.net/Apple-MacBook-Pro-14-2021-M1-P...
- kaba0 5y agoI have only ever heard that a small minority of people get headaches from PWM. Nonetheless, you should probably test one for a bit of time and if you are okay, it should not cause any trouble for you (the optical mechanisms of our eyes are not really affected by these small fluctuations, it is at most happens on a neural level)
