MacBook Pro screen blinks

i will do the same.. keep calling them until i have a machine that is worth its money..

thanks

I agree kongnator

Ask Apple for a 9c85, kongnator

is it possible to ask for a 85 panel and get one?

Maybe ?

Nope - I was told it's not a "configurable" component.

how is that new mac working for ya? all good?

Ok - I have spent the past 4 days using and testing this new machine. I was beginning to think I it was all solved and then... you guessed it. the screen started to flutter and flicker. Guess who's getting a call on Monday 😟

with my macbook pro i have now i thought flickering is solved....but after 1,5.weeks it came back, so i will send it back and wait for the new one.

Hi,

Can you tell please, Stochastic and volvr, what diplay you have ?

Thx

I am on 9C84 - made in week 13.

ok Stochastic,

I'm on C85 and all is ok since 1 april.

C85 is not my favorite display, i like more the C84 because off the best brightness and the better black and white and more easy to calibrate .
But this C85 do not flicker

I'm just asking you because i try to know if the problem
is only on C83 and C84 ...

Maybe it's not only a problem with the display.

This is untrue.
The 9c85 is far superior with twice the contrast ratio. At least according to this site that really does some testing to them. They don't just look at the screen and think it is super blue and powdery so it must be better. The browns and reds that come out in the 9c85 are closer to what a true 2.2 6500K calibrated display would show.

It's just my opinion, BoyHowdyDoo , and I share it.

This C85 is really blue and powdery, and i don't like it.

And it is impossible to correctly calibrate it.

I do not trust those review about C84 and C85 display

The C85 seems to be all the time washed, even if you can give him a proper calibration.

I understand fully. We like what we like.
Did you read the review though?
It looks at it more scientifically.
It has always been fairly difficult to calibrate a 6-bit TN laptop screen.
-The sensors don't make up dithered colors very well and end up guessing. Sometimes the profiles work but none are "actually" accurate. Plus they all differ by manufacturer. A huey does very pink profiles while the Spyder does very blue. All are wrong. I gave up. I profile my IPS display and drop 1.8 Gamma to 2.2 with Apples profile. If you open it you will notice specific matrix changes that "fix" the terrible color in laptops screens in general.
