If i knew how bad display mbp 16 has, i would never buy it

[sebpettersson]

I'm not defending or justifying apple's choices or the quality, but rather pointing out that if the OP doesn't like the machine then he's free to not buy it. There are many people who have zero complaints with the display and love their MBP.

The same could be said about the butterfly keyboard though. It's a valid complaint and if enough people complain, maybe Apple will put resources into fixing this problem.

I am not sure what you want fixed. You would like them to go back to using lower quality panels with faster response times? Once LED technology advances enough do that we can have uLED displays, all this will go away automatically. But with LCDs, slow pixel response time is an unfortunate consequence of having a high-quality display.

i have noticed this problem very late so i can not take my money back

Maybe there's a software update that can fix this? I would try contacting Apple Support. With all the COVID issues going on, who knows what kind of leeway they have to satisfy customers. Good luck!

I will say I've seen a few of these displays and some do seem legitimately better than others. But generally, there does seem to be a push and pull between quality/color accuracy and response time. Apple chose to focus on the former, and for some users that was the right call. They'll probably try to strike a better balance with the next version of the display.

I think mine looks brilliant for whatever it's worth. I actually see less streaking when scrolling in dark mode than I see on the 120 hz iPad Pro.

if it is not hard for you could you please capture a video with same external camera both scrolling on ipad pro and mbp 16 on same web page and share with us

there is a 32 pages thread in this forum which is the biggest thread in the world

Which is where your comments belong (and indeed already exist by other people). That way the board has one long thread instead of 32 short ones clogging things up.

It has been said more than once: buy something else. I'm using my MBP 16 almost 10 hours a day and I'm having have no issues whatsoever. If it smears, scroll slower... Good night.

One thing I don't get is how did it take you that long to notice the issue if that metric is so apparently important to you?

16" MacBook Pro ghosting / smearing...

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...
