What are your favorite, most comfortable display technologies? I want to see if we can identify technologies that tend to be more comfortable for us.

I've always used TN panels on my desktop monitors and haven't tried IPS or VA. I read various sources mentioning IPS being more problematic for eyestrain and one or both of them struggling with rendering text cleanly and not blurry and never did get around to trying either of them. But then I've read several people on this site liking IPS and VA panels.

My phone is OLED, which I used to think would be my panacea due to the lack of backlight, but then found that not all OLED screens work for me. Even though they don't use backlight, I've found most OLED phones still use PWM and, whether it's a backlight or thousands of individual pixels, PWM is a surefire trigger of eyestrain and migraines for me.

I'm intrigued by Quantum Dots/QLED and have been occasionally reading about that technology for years, but have not had the opportunity to try it.

I've also read about WLED and wondered if it would make any difference.

I'm sure there are also many technologies that I'm missing or maybe don't even know about yet. I'm hoping collectively we can combine our knowledge and experience to put together a comprehensive list of technologies to try and hopefully identify some with high success rates among those who suffer our symptoms and issues.

    I found a QLED TV on display at local Bestbuy to be EXTREMELY easy on they eyes. It actually stood out from all the other TVs around it with how eye strain free it was.

    But when I bought a Samsung laptop with a QLED screen - immediate eye strain.

      I think Quantum Dot backlights may be much eye-friendlier that White LED ones. But manufacturers can ruin the advantage by employing PWM, FRC, and other types of flicker. Samsung especially is known to make customers look at heavy PWM flicker on a wide range of devices.

      My phone is a Samsung Galaxy S3 that is mostly easy on my eyes (non-PWM OLED), but every Samsung screen I've tried since this phone, OLED included, is pretty bad.

      Another really bad offender for me is Lenovo, their laptop screens give me migraines in seconds. At least, their older ones did, I've been avoiding them for years now as a result.

      jrhack , My experience is that IPS is the best and after that probably TN and then VA.
