Dear friends, as you know MacBook Pro 16 has a very bad choice 60hz display and very very bad pixel response time so ghosting smearing is one of its major defects. At this point i have tried oled İphone 11 pro and oled Samsung s10+ and they have text smearing during scroll as well. Only s20+ Was perfect in 120hz setting. I did not have chance to try scrolling a web page or Word document on a 72, 90, 120 or 144 hz monitor to detect text smearing? Why MacBook Pro 16 have terrible text smearing and how can this be get fixed? If it is about pixel response time so why oled phones have same issue? (Except s20+ 120hz)

can anyone make a try and video Record with same external camera in same condirions during scrolling same page on both mbp 16 inches and 120 or 144 hz gaming monitor?

I really do not understand why Apple insists on antique 60 hz mode on its premium products....

Hz is refresh rate not response time. You can have 144hz and ghost with a high response time. You can still have 60hz and not ghost as long as response times are good enough. There's a reason why we've been fine with 60hz for so long or even fine with 30fps. Lowering hz may actually help lower ghosting on a slower display because it's not trying to change frame. Of course it's not going to be as smooth.

Oled has a slower response when brightness is turned down. Even if brightness is maxed, oled isn't a magical display type and is susceptible to the same slow response if the display is slow. There is nothing you can do to make the response time better without any overdrive setting. It's just how the display performs.

It doesn't make any sense why you'd go over 60hz when it's not for gaming. You'd compromise image quality which is what they care about more and is more important for the typical mac use.
