- embedding-shape 7mo agoStroke CRT displays been able to do variable refresh rate since like the 80s, quite the omission there buddy.

As is with most Apple "inventions". In this case the patent goes back to 1982: https://patents.google.com/patent/US4511892A/en https://patents.google.com/patent/US4511892A/en
