seriously.. for a content-consumption device, reading, watching movies, casual email etc.. how can they have gone back to using PWM in this generation?
I'm blown away about this. We've had Asus, BenQ, and Dell monitors advertising flicker free for years. Not only will we be viewing this a LOT, but it's quite pricey in the higher storage tiers with LTE.
I'm holding out hope for the 12.9", but maybe this'll work to our advantage if that's got PWM flickering as well. I'd be waiting for the falls rumored mini LED and hopefully we'll get an A14X as well. My only concern's that mini LED uses dimming zones AFAIK and that might mean PWM.
Are you out of your mind, the PWM frequency is 1.3MHz, that's 1.3 million times per second, it's a higher frequency than AM radio. I'll give you all my possessions if you can actually see something blinking at 1.3MHz
It could be 1300 and I still wouldn't go near it. I'm not God. I don't know what my eyes can actually perceive and translate into an adverse affect to eye heath. Some of us still use incandescents for this same reason! :D
I know of no other place to determine PWM as well as here. So that's why I'm posting and hoping word gets out more and more about the problems this tech can cause.
I'd rather have a flicker free 12.9" A12Z powered iPad Pro with NO PWM than a hypothetical...
14" A14X powered iPad Pro using pulse width modulated backlighting for the Micro LED with proper dimming zones that supports both HDR10 and Dolby Vision.
It could have the same camera module from the upcoming 12 Pro, 8 GB of RAM, 2 USB-C's, a headphone jack, water resistance, and come with a free Lifeproof case. It still wouldn't matter.
It's that important. Flicker free is that important. My eyes are that important.
