Bought a sony A9s oled tv wish me luck 😜

raven83 I searched the web for oled tv tinnitus and i got severall hits including on this forum. So the TV must GO

There are people that got this buzz with their oled tvs and i am convinced that this is another manifestation of flicker.

Not sure whether tinnitus results from flicker (I won't rule it out though, since flicker messes with your iris muscles), but I do know that one thing that can cause tinnitus are tight muscles around your head, neck, and shoulder area, which might also be the cause for being sensitive to flicker. I got tinnitus roughly two years ago, almost a year after my flicker sensitivity issues came back after being somewhat dormant before that.

My tinnitus is still there, but I could improve it quite a bit by doing several things, for instance, by wearing prescribed night braces to keep me from grinding my teeth, which eventually can cause you to have tight neck muscles. Also particular sleeping positions can result in tinnitus getting worse (in my case it's laying on the back).

raven83 It was not my intention to imply that. Just wanted to propose a theory that tinnitus might be tangently related to issues resulting from flicker, since the eye muscle strain and tightness resulting from flicker may spread to nearby muscles close to the ear and the tightness of these muscles could cause tinnitus.

Tons of nerves come out of your neck and travel to innervate parts of your face including your ears. The muscles around your neck can entrap these nerves causing all kinds of problems. Forward head posture causes lots of issues. I've had issues that will go away literally as i release a muscle that is all knotted up in my neck. It's pretty crazy. Can get intense tinnitus, tingling, pain, etc

raven83 my father has an older lg qled tv and i dont get nausea from it. Also thought about testing a light canon and using it only on SDR.

fyi, same PWM TV models can be eye-strain or not. On my xg9505 setting BFI cause eye-strain, also reducing backlight to lowest values results in more intense and not sine-wave PWM and eye-strain also. The problem is you need devices to measure screens and state logic of comfortable ones

raven83 Also what is sine-wave?

here is lg qned80 series TV. Look at PWM, very square-view-form, when I measure TVs in shop on the 3 january '24, I found only varyaties of this form. If you compare it to sony ( which is no-eye-strain for me ) you will find they use different types of PWM waveform. Some users reported, they can use samsung s10 (which have sine-wave PWM) and cannot use samsung s20 (or higher, dont remember) - the PWM form is changed to square-view.

I measured different monitors and TVs, and can say the PWM form is key. All "old and safe" PWM screens I measured, have sine ( smooth, curved ) view
