I realize that this is not even on topic, but _what a jolt of nostalgia_. I haven't even thought of that comic in what feels like a decade. Perhaps that's the optimal way of reading a webcomic (waiting until it's binge-able)? It's tripled in length since I last read it, and now my phone actually will display it :D (now if only the web interface tracked what page I was on, so that coming back months later didn't show Today's page, and instead showed where I last read ...) On-topic, I have tried jostling the page on my Pixel 6a (also a 60hz OLED screen), and I don't notice _at all_ the display latency or issues that you mention. The only time I've noticed any kind of delay or ghosting like that is when I have it in extremely low brightness settings (reading at night in the dark), with "extra dim" enabled.

> Perhaps that's the optimal way of reading a webcomic (waiting until it's binge-able)? Man, I tend to think so. (Though... I say that, and I've been reading Gunnerkrigg thrice a week for what seems like five years now, so sometimes I think one thing and do another sometimes. ;)) It's a good comic, IMO. > The only time I've noticed any kind of delay or ghosting like that is when I have it in extremely low brightness settings (reading at night in the dark), with "extra dim" enabled. I would have never thought to play with the brightness settings. So, I nearly always have my screen on "8->10% brightness, automatic brightness adjust, 'extra dim' disabled.". I played with the brightness settings just now and discovered that I have to get the brightness up to 100% before the smearing is _nearly_ gone. At 50%, the trails are much, MUCH smaller than at ~10%, but still obviously there. 75% is not _that_ much better than 50%. > [I have a] Pixel 6a Hmm! Maybe in the year between the 5a and the 6a's release, they got on display manufacturers' collective asses to substantially reduce the amount of color smearing in the display that they selected for their next phone.
