It's pretty silly to through around credentials.
Here's a video of an OLED TV updating in slow motion. The pixels are on in between updates so it really doesn't matter how fast it's updating it's not going to cause headaches or any of the problems that we used to associate with strobing style displays. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=54E3uUEryZM
What's the deal with Lemmy being so abrasive all the time. Sometimes I think some of us should be put in time out with just hacker news for a month to teach us some manners...
Do you disagree with me thinking it's silly to through around credentials on the internet or just how I communicated it?
I did edit after posting to tone it down some but perhaps not enough?
I didn't find it too silly as it was in context. Just stating his job to contextualize his answer, it didn't feel to me like he was waving his resume around.
Well, on some they aren't.
But yes, TIL that some OLEDs do in fact work continuously thanks to TFTs
That display is using BFI (black frame insertion) which is usually optional to reduce blur.
Oh, my misunderstanding was because didn't know active-matrix (TFT) OLED displays existed, where thin-film transistors (TFTs) keep the pixels on between updates. I know those little 128x64 SPI OLEDs that are passive and driven line-by-line, I don't have a big OLED screen.
