Hi Nick, Using the slider in Display Prefs, VO does hesitate a little on my MBP Late 2011 but does not behave as badly as you've outlined. Using the F1/F2 though causes no hesitation at all. Actually, this is the first time I've ever used the slider in Display Prefs so wanted to check on your findings.
