Hi, i have made a search but could not find the value of Pulse Widht Modulation (PWM) 16 inch version. I have seen that 14" m2 version has 14480 according to notebookcheck.com. Is it same on 16" model? I really could not understand why Apple prefered this lower PMW values while Apple MacBook Pro 16 2019 i9 has 131700 and Apple MacBook Pro 13 Late 2020 M1 has 122000 values..... Is not it uncomfortable for eyes when using lower PWM values? Why a firm makes a revision?

On the other hand do 14 " m2 MBP and 16" m2 MBP have quality differences like number of LED backlight zones, color density and quality or is the only difference about display size?

Thanks for comments

I believe the effective quality is supposed to be about the same, the 16" has more zones, but only because the screen is bigger, each zone is I believe similarly sized. Though for a full screen video, I suppose it means there are more zones in use as a result.
