Hi there thankyou for all of your posts on here, I've been a long time reader and never posted.
it's been 8months with only a 2019 MBP i9 32GB VEGA 20 on Catalina working for me and everything else giving me strain.
It is early days but yesterday I realised that in 8months I had never looked at the accessibility settings on the machine that was comfortable for me somehow!! and that when my machine wakes there was a momentary jump in contrast on the login screen.
As well as activating 'Reduce Transparency', adjusting the contrast slider to the first notch or just over makes a massive difference, by this I mean increasing contrast by one notch.
I tested this at the Apple Store yesterday and the M2 Airs were comfortable enough to consider taking one home to test… The MBP still not comfortable, but improved. And I've just been to a local used Mac shop and I was only there for 5minutes but appeared to make Intel Mac's on Ventura usable for me.
My working machine also has a FrameBuffer depth (if that's the right term) of 24Bit so I assume that to be clean 8bit with no dithering… maybe…. or at least something better for us that 30bit.
Also I seem to find Blue light blocking clear looking Occushield glassed to help, I don't think it's so much the Blue light, but I think having the glasses frame in my peripheral vision and somewhat maybe helping my brain separate my eyes BVD wise.
Gamma or Contrast adjustment seems huge!! one thing it does is make the edges of font a lot more defined…
thankyou so much for all of your posts over this last year, I'm not sure what things would have been like had it not been for this forum.
