It’s already somewhat noticeable on my current MBP (M1P), I can’t imagine nearly doubling the response time and not noticing…

Visually it’s a good looking display, but I’d think pulling down the response times and improving blooming would have been a priority.

Do you do any video encoding or audio work?

Because I think the M1 Pro has been solid, but no one would say no to a 20-35% performance increase

Option 3: Remove your moderator status.

What else would need to be done? That’s literally the most obvious answer when COI is involved. Stop being involved with one of the parties.
