Sequential EVF "tearing" effect - reality or myth?

That is in human nature. If nobody points the problem out, everybody would live on happily. But once somebody points at something, lots of people would start looking at it and be overall bothered by it.

I'm not too sure about that, Philips. I discovered this poll too late to participate, but I'm one of those who sold the GX7 mainly because of the EVF. It really bothered me. And I can't even say it was because of the rainbow tearing. It just was too damn unpleasant while I was (am) used to the gorgeous LVF2s on my GX1s. I think I was more bothered by the tiny size of the EVF at 4:3 and the fact that the diopter correction stopped at +3 while the LVF2 goes up to +5, which is great for me. Had the EVF of the GX7 been bigger, I probably just could have done with the +3, after all there are other EVFs In that range that I can deal with, but not with this puny thing on the GX7 and I'm afraid it's gonna kill the GX80 for me too. The GX8 on the other hand.... WOW! Thát's an EVF!

BTW, what surprised me in my months with the GX7, was also that I actually preferred the weaker contrast and saturation in the LVF2. To me it felt more comfortable to the eye and by that made it easier to judge or even see the image. But again, that as well might have been the result of tiny size & diopter limitation.
