Can you guys list the laptops that are comfortable to you guys? I desperately need to find something that works. Haven't used a computer in so long. Would prefer something above 60hz but happy to listen to anything that works! I'm extremely sensitive to temporal dithering/FRC.

Lenovo ThinkPad T14G1 with touchscreen works for me. I have Intel-based one for work and AMD-based one for personal use, both are very nice.

The last good macbook pro is 15 inch with Intel 2019 with OS <= Catalina. The next macbook pro 16 inch in 2019 will have FRC. The newer versions of MacOS could also cause FRC even for intel based macbooks, so be careful.

madmozg My research is inconclusive, but I have reason to believe macOS even dating back to Sierra on certain hardware may be problematic. Really unfortunate but unsurprising.

It's not a rule but I would advise to get an old windows laptop with a bit older tech. Something pre 2017 ideally. Older cpu and gpu have less chance to dither. And screens will most likely be pure 6 bits. At worse, if screen has pwm or you don't like it, it's easily replaceable.

JTL I confirm that. Had exactly a macbook pro 2015 with Sierra and it was a horrible display. I would stick with windows.

Liberator005 Isn’t there any other solution? I heard that the MacBook Air M2 should be fine does not have local dithering or PWM. But I guess there should be other laptops. Just using old laptops doesn’t seem to be a great option though.

Kev It is not optimal for sure but some people here just want something to be able to work, they can't afford to be too nit-picky. Don't forget what works for someone won't necessarily work for you, so if you have the means to keep trying recent tech, go for it, but it's expensive and time consuming.

Lenovo B50-80 without any graphics card just on the motherboard. Windows 8.1 since 10+ seems to cause issues. Would love a better computer!

I spent a long time looking for a good laptop and returned 3 models before I could find a good screen. Then I bought an asus rog flox x13 6900hs with 3050ti and it very comfortable to work. Matrix 8 bit and does not use pwm

The Lenovo Slim 7 Pro X that I described here still works fine (only with the Nvidia GPU and built-in screen): https://ledstrain.org/d/1093-temporal-dithering-issues-with-laptops/15 I have realized that AMD GPUs just don't work for me, possibly due to their dithering algorithm. The USB-C with display port output on this laptop is only connected to the AMD iGPU so I cannot use any external monitor with it. The laptop screen itself is high resolution and is perfectly comfortable.

laptops without dithering/FRC and no pwm?

AlanSmith Hi Alan. I do not have Aida64. But you can check here: https://www.dell.com/support/manuals/en-us/latitude-14-3440-laptop/latitude_3440_ss/display?guid=guid-b95863c6-ee3b-4e9d-88fc-bce2b2f96aa2&lang=en-us
