Interesting, thank you for this. I'm curious, if we assume that majority of screens are at 60Hz refresh rate, how does 40Hz flashing actually outputs in real life. For a 120Hz screen, yes, it's obvious, just skip two frames and fire at every third, but for 60Hz... I wonder.
- eigenvalue 3y agoYes that’s the thing I most worry about, surely it causes some aliasing and a “beat pattern” (how could it not?). The question is whether that matters much in practice. It seems to work quite well on an iPhone in a dark room with the brightness turned up— just close your eyes and put the phone near your eyes. And don’t forget to turn off silent mode to hear the audio! That one case covers so many users.
- macrolime 3y agoSo that's why it wasn't working. Videos and everything else will except incoming calls works in silent mode just by turning the volume up. Why is this an exception?
- eigenvalue 3y agoNot sure actually, I’m always a bit uncertain about what the behavior should be with respect to audio playback and silent mode on iPhones.
- moconnor 3y agoI think it’s only the 15 pro that has 120Hz refresh rate and the rest are at 60Hz?
