![]() ![]() Was temporal dithering in use back in, say, 2005? For me I had similar issues to now already several years before 2012. Many of you mentioned they were fine until 2012 or so, then something was introduced which screwed their eyes up. I do not fully master the concept of temporal dithering. However, I now got a question I have not yet asked. Someone tossed that temporal dithering could potentially be influenced by the resolution, whereas PWM should be independent from resolution. It was one of my first question on this site. Why lowering the resolution helps (I should say helped) is not clear to me. It was not as smooth as the Thinkpad T60 on XP but I did not suffer. In 2016-17 I also used a Dell Latitude - forgot the model - on Windows 7 lowering the resolution (keeping the aspect ratio). I upgraded to Windows 10 and the trick ceased working. Then I changed to 1024x768 and used it for 10 years without a problem for as many hours a day as I wanted. I kept the laptop in a drawer for an year. In 2007 I bought a (those days) super-expensive Thinkpad T60 to quickly realize there was no way I could use it at native resolution. Here is someone who survived until a year ago by using the trick of lowering the resolution. Pardon my ignorance, what do you mean with "ideal" resolution? Is that "ideality" measured? I thought ideal = native = default for manufacturers and users who are not like us? But this is fine for me at the moment.ĭeepflame I installed "SwitchResX" and found out that my internal screen is not running on an optimal resolution. I only use the external screen now and hammer on the laptop. However this could be solved by mirroring the internal and external screen and setting the resolution to the native one of the external screen. I attached a FullHD Samsung business screen, extended the desktop and got flickering in the external screen as well. At first it seemed that having this tool enabled all the time also has a positive effect. I left the daemon of “SwitchResX” running. I think the stretching or scaling to a non native resolution makes the graphics card flicker. Interestingly one has to change the setting to “scaled” in the Settings and select it there (or use SwitchResX). So I changed the resolution from the default "1440x900" to “1280x800” which is exactly a quarter of its native resolution. I installed "SwitchResX" and found out that my internal screen is not running on an optimal resolution. I am not sure if this is really necessary but the dark mode is nice for the eyes. I installed a beta version of OSX Mojave. So today I fiddled a bit with the laptop and think I can work with it now. Luckily I found this website and trust me - it is good to know that I am not alone and am making this stuff up (nobody I know in my close circle has the same issues.). The 13'' and 15'' 2017 models seemed very good on my eyes but I decided to go with a 13'' 2018 model with touch bar because of the better keyboard and quadcore CPU.Īfter 2 weeks I thought that this decision was a mistake since headache, dizziness and the like came to me. The 15inch 2015 seems more relaxing for my eyes - as JTL mentions as well. The 13inch 2015 model was ok, but not perfect. I got a new MBP 2018 after my 13inch 2015 model died on me. As many people here I also suffer from different screen issues ( blue light, PWM, dithering. ![]()
