    Macbook Pro 2021 M1 Pro response time/ghosting issue. Help!

    We've heard that new 2021 macs with MiniLED have terrible pixel response time and ghosting - video I have Macbook Air M1 and Macbook pro 2020 i5. And Pro in comparison to Air also has terrible ghosting! I can definitely see it! Air seems to be the best in class somehow, super snappy! For those...

    MB 2008 Unibody - image retention / ghosting / low fps

    Hello dear colleagues! This problem started yesterday. Very long image rendering time (low fps) and ghosting. Sometimes there are stripes. There are no problems on the external monitor.

    (Partially solved) 16 inch Pulsating white/blue light from playheads.

    EDIT: Turned off "True Tone" and the flickers stopped. Turned on it is there again. What does True tone actually do and is this a software/driver bug perhaps? Hey. Got a 16" Mac i9 Base model last week. First thing I noticed while playing projects in both Logic Pro X and Maschine DAW. The...

    How would you explain ghosting smearing display on “premium product” mbp for years if you were an Apple manager?

    This problem continues since 2016 touch bar models and there is no improvement. Ghosting/smearing got worse in latest 16” model. Is not there anybody or Department in thousands of apple engineers that hears the complaints, notice the problem and check the 16 inch units for this issue? Is this so...

    Terrible experience with the MBP16 2019

    iMac Pro iMac Pro image retention normal or not?

    Is it an inherent flaw that all LG panels dating back from late 2012 iMacs to the new models including the iMac Pro all suffer image retention/persistence/ghosting? I noticed my late 2012 iMac 27", returned iMac Pro, and current iMac Pro with upgraded RAM seem to all be affected. I can easily...

    Resolved A call to Dell U2713H owners!!!

    Is this ghosting normal? Should I learn to live with it? Apparently, the U2713H is infamous of this. So, I don't know, if I return this monitor, if the ghosting issue with the next monitor will be any better. Otherwise, the screen is near perfect. No dead pixels, minimal IPS glow and the...
