Seefree There are two known causes of dithering on that laptop:
1. Intel Graphics drivers
2. Windows 10 Anniversary Build and up
2 is not confirmed, but I think at least one on here is confident it's true. ditherig.exe can get rid of dithering, it helped some people on here, but does not help me.
I hope you can find a laptop that works for you.
Some people have had success using Linux with modesetting (non Intel) drivers on some laptops.
ryans ATI/AMD GPU's dither as well. It's very hit and miss.
Some Nvidia 900 and 1000 series cards appear to do dithering on the GPU output, even in the BIOS, and there is currently no way to disable it.
The above isn't really applicable to laptops as the vast marjority of laptops run their display outputs through the Intel GPU even when the Nvidia card is actually rendering frames.
I can use a Win 10 Pro Dell Inspiron 15 3000 with AMD Radeon Graphics R5 M430 v17.1.1 and Intel Core i5 7th Gen, but i need to have brightness at 100%, night mode always on (middle of the bar), in Dell Display settings the Blue Light at minus 31 and finally Crizal glasses on.
With this combination i can work all day without any real problems.
Furthermore, If I take regular breaks (as everyone should do) the laptop is causing no issues at all.
I see that most of your computers are using newer versions of Windows 10. Do yourself a favor and get an older version installed, and then block updates. You'll be so glad you did.
Dell XPS 13 with the matte screen, and Dell XPS 15 with the matte screen (not touch, not glossy, just the 1080p matte) and windows 10 1511 or 1589 are pretty much the safest screens on the market today that we know of.
Yeah 1709 has you hating life. That's the "creator's update". You're literally 2 years too new.
Gurm okay i might try out a dell xps 13. Is yours the 9350 or 9360?
Ive had 3 dells in my lifetime and all of them had quality build issues with overheating, poor build quality, driver issues, and never lastet longer than 3 years before having overheating problems. Ive never considered a dell since. How are the dell xps 13s ive reas a lot of bad stories with not being able to turn off the intel adaptive nrightness CABC or whatever its called, build issues and coil whine.
I am strapped for time lately with personal stuff, but I'm HAPPY to write the petition if someone else can do a little legwork to find out who at MS to submit it to. Once I have some more time (late spring, early summer) I can even take lead on this initiative. If someone else wants to sign on here to run point temporarily, I'll totally do the tech write up. I would suggest that we file it as a bug. I do have the ability to open premier tickets through my work but that would unfortunately be misappropriation of work funds.
UPDATE: I have reached out to my corporate TAM (technical account manager) for advice on how to engage with MS on this issue. If this were a problem with users at my office, I'd be raising this with her and with the Premier support team who can directly interface with development leads if needed... but it's not a work issue so I've asked her how to proceed, hoping she can connect us with the right person/people there.
