Apple MacBook Pro 16 2023 M3 Pro review - Efficiency before performance

[NikoB]

I no longer hope that microLED will be any better than AMOLED. Most likely, if it is launched in a mass series, it will have the same problems as AMOLED - a glossy glare screen, low-frequency PWM (since single luminous subpixels will burn out and drift in the accuracy of the glow spectrum much faster than large white or other LEDs, in conventional edge or multi-row backlighting), problems with color accuracy and rapid burnout.

Today there are only two working technologies (outside of viewing content in complete darkness) - IPS and VA - comfortable for the eyes and the associated nervous system. Both technologies allow you to have fairly fast screens, with good resolution (at least 4k 16:10 today) and accurate color reproduction, with good viewing angles (especially with an A-TW polarizer, which has not been installed anywhere for a long time, even in top models) and acceptable contrast.

But in reality. There are a lot of cheap IPS/VA versions on the market with a lot of shortcomings for the sake of mass reduction in price, because... real prices for quality options would rise much higher than what the average person out of 8 billion people on the planet can now afford. Thus, in practice, we observe not progress in display technologies, but natural degradation, if we look at it all as a whole.

I see no reason why corporations will reverse these negative trends in the medium term. They have always not cared about the health and comfort of people if, out of their own stupidity, they buy a dangerous product. Remember what happened with smoking before - when did it start to worry anyone? And certainly not the tobacco corporations that still exist and sell life-threatening products...

AMOLED (Active OLED matrix) as it is sold should be banned by law, just like Teflon (although this is just a trademark for the substance).
