Is there mac book that laptop newer then the M1 that works?

NewDwarf

Donux MacBook Pro 2019 16” is bad one. It has active dithering. I wouldn’t recommend to buy it.

MacBook Pro 2019 15” is pretty comfort for eyes.

Donux

NewDwarf Good to hear before damage is done to my bank account 🙂

I think thats a very low power'ed CPU

NewDwarf

mirrormystic MacBook Pro 14'' M4 is good to me. Use it every day. No any eyes specific problems.

Donux

NewDwarf Can you share your settings configuration, and exact model ? (is it with matte coating or not)

On reddit there are quite a few people who claim to experiene big eye strain with it.

Donux

Also in terms of old cheap stuff @NewDwarf do you know if 2012 mac mini is one that suppose to be good ?

mirrormystic

@NewDwarf can u post the panel serial number

ioreg -lw0 | grep -e "panel-serial-number" -e coverglass

and the specific model?

what settings did u work with?

NewDwarf

mirrormystic Here is the output

ioreg -lw0 | grep -e "panel-serial-number" -e coverglass

| | "raw-panel-serial-number" = <"FMXHE6006E100006J3+A+GE1S5101294923+PROD+Y449550135024+K41941193Y51041212+446C9GCP0924380J493000A4C94BS4A778203IAN51C4124+B2505710C507620J50761950762C50772950771065077200">

| | "coverglass-serial-number" = <"FMXHE6006E100006J3">

Regarding customized settings:

Disabled auto-brightness. Permanently use 8-9 brightness bars.
Switched screen resolution on 1352x878
Active "BetterDisplay" which only disables dithering.

mirrormystic

did u disable true tone? that helped me a lot on M3 MBA

NewDwarf

mirrormystic No. I always use true tone.

mirrormystic

I see you have the nano-texture display, is that right?

NewDwarf

mirrormystic No. Just a regular display.

lukeb What is the chance of me buying macbook pro 2019 16 inch (Or 15 inch as suggested by @NewDwarf) with intel and Radeon and having even better experience ? (I do not care about speed, the slower the better, more zen)
