Fully agree, but as you did, discussions related to mental health of drugs would need to be in a separate thread discussing those topics. Like I said, bad display tech has nothing to do with mental health or drugs. A book read in daylight does not suddenly become irritating because of stopping a drug or starting a drug. (Or of course in some scenarios this can happen, but we all know it is not the book or daylights fault and the book and daylight cannot be fixed)
The problem is that I have e.g. referred this page to eye doctors and some review sites. When those people come here and see a myriad of weird complaints and discussion about stopping or starting a drug-related to mental health, they will quickly draw assumptions that this is just a problem with some people who have a lot of other issues, too.
Wouldn't it be nice if there would be some sort of conclusive discussion for at least a certain majority of people "PWM and temporal dithering produces symptoms and devices ZYX are the ones we can use, so clearly there is a problem with the new tech that is being employed in the modern devices"
I do appriciate the cohesive investigations and the level of knowledge that e.g. Mrak0020 has, but wouldn't we all agree that it is a bit strange for people outside of this problem to understand that all phones before 2017 be it LCD with PWM or OLED with PWM or Temporal dithering were totally fine, but no phones after that are OK, but still Macbooks and any other display with PWM or display is OK. From an outside perspective that has no logic. Because Apple forums are full of people who have a problem with the Mack book temporal dithering from several years back and those same people most of the time also have a problem with PWM and other flickering devices.
For me it is totally clear - any flicker causes eyestrain. I do not get any other symptoms but red eyes, no headache not anything else.
