Also it’s temporal anti-aliasing which, as I understand, means it reduces aliasing in moving scenes (correct me if I’m wrong). I also read that it has a blur effect that is more noticeable than most other common techniques (someone was saying on a … Read more
I have a new MBP 2019 16″ with the AMD Radeon Pro 5500M 8 GB vid card. When I plugged my LG UltraFine 5K display in via USB-C I noticed strange light blue aliasing around font and images. Example (bad): Here is the same text (in same window) but on the MBP built-in retina display: … Read more

I tried other version … Read more
