I bought a Macbook air M1 and the first day or so had a strain, but now i dont have a problem. Ive been looking at the new iMac and instore that seems fine to me. I cant use Windows 10 because of the eye strain/headaches so this may well be my replacement for my 7 years old Windows 8.1 machine.
MacBook Air and eye strain
The more I read about dithering for color, the more I feel this is a very overlooked issue.
Check this page out regarding temporal dithering and look at the very slowed down image and see if it makes you feel weird. Please also read their data.
It is my belief that dithering is used for HDR. I'm still trying to verify this. If so, this explains why all of the current TVs are out of my reach.
Off the top, the color gamut could be where dithering is used as a trick? Iโm firing in the dark here.

Their example with the GTX 1650 further confirms our finding here that newer Nvidia GPU always dither, even when dithering is turned off in Nvidia settings on Linux. They say itโs likely due to a driver bug. Iโm pretty sure this communities suspicion that itโs set to always dither in the vbios is more correct.
I was reading (here possibly) that AMD cards may have more direct ways to disable dithering. If I find this to be true, I will be building a full AMD PC here soon. Iโve wanted a good excuse to upgrade, but this would be a very good reason to do so.
I'm noticing big issues in OS versions on Mac devices. It has nothing at all to do with dithering
Apple deciding to use temporal dithering from here on out 100% excludes me from their lineup. Somehow my iPhone X works for me. Seems it will be my last i device unfortunately.
I absolutely do. All of the new products with screens that apple makes currently are unusable for me. I wish I could get apple to confirm, but I am close to 100% certain my issue is temporal dithering. This is the only common factor I have found across displays I have issues with. PWM doesn't bother me apparently according to what I use currently.
Clokwork Consider emailing accessibility AT apple.com. If enough people do it, they might take this seriously.
Apple spends a lot of time to develop VoiceOver screenreaders for blind people. That's a minority of the population, like us. We need to make Apple care by letting them know this issue exists.
I've never tried the iphone 11, 12 and 13 so i can't reply.
I am using also the pixel 4A and it's fine for me.
Recenter Apple product that i've tried with bad results are:
- Ipad Pro 10,5" (i am still using the ipad air 2)
- MBA 2018
- MBP 16" 2019
