Hi all,
Received my 16" yesterday. After some playing around last night and today I've noticed a potential issue I'd like to compare. When using the launch pad and moving between apps, the display seems to have ghosting - its not smoothly transitioning between each page of apps. Ive noticed the same thing for stuff like text when scrolling, its blurry until you stop still. Has anyone else noticed this at all?
I'm using the 16" MBP as is.
I do have a 165hz monitor that I am used to, however I use an older 15" 2012 at work and this doesn't display the same thing I've noticed here :/
Cheers.

After 28 pages and a few months of debate the TLDR is: this is Apple’s slowest response time screen seen in a MacBook Pro ever. Source link is somewhere in the thread but it was NotebookChecker (I believe?).
I personally couldn’t put up with it and some people could not perceive it at all.
To summarise: you do you - if it bothers you, return it. Don’t settle for a bad experience on your £2.3k minimum machine. If it doesn’t, enjoy a ghost free life 🤙

As per Ahrian’s posts on page 37, the brand new M1 Pro/Max 16” MacBook Pro’s still have a trash response time.
