Hi there. My name is Nicholas, and I´m a led strainer (this is beginning to feel as Anonimous ledstrainers now). I´ve been reading some of your stories to see if I can gain a better understanding of what´s going on with us, and what are you trying to do to overcome it, or a least to be able to live some sort of normal life again.
I wanted to tell you a little bit about my case, to see if someone has been experiencing the same – one thing about this condition is that it is very tricky, and there appears to be multiple factors at stake, as well as multiple potential triggers. But before that, I wanted to summarize the possible triggers (not causes, I think) of this affection. By reading most of your posts, triggers can include:
+regarding screens:
-LED, LCD, and even CRT screens (maybe not all of them, maybe specific types of LCD, maybe OLEDS, an even maybe not LCD screens)
-PWM flickering
-Low refresh rate
- temporal dithering
-Intel video drivers, other Windows 10 drivers
-External screen connection technologies (such as HDMI)
+Regarding other luminic sources
-Sunlight
-Reflected sunlight
-Incandescent light bulbs: old ones, LCD, LED; color temperature
Am I missing something? I think it would be good to make a list as comprehensive as posible, because it would help people to identify what triggers their simptoms.
I´m posting this here because… seemed the best place. Maybe we should start a new post to keep updated, so people can easily find out the triggers that might be affecting them. And maybe the post already exists, and I missed it - sorry if that´s the case.
A will summaryze my own problems in another post, so this is not too long.
Nicholas
