DAVEGEO I have one question for you in moto edge 40 neo why you set flicker reduction to off is it give you eyestrain or any other issues and which other phone you have used before this and not worked for you ?

    I've switched between flicker reduction on and off and I find it a clearer picture when set to off. The only Samsung phones have found to be ok is the S2 and S6. I had to sell or return the following…S7, S10, Huawei p30, Google pixel 2. I also tried the moto g73 5g and that wasn't bad but camera was just ok with no ois.

      Also tried the nothing phone 2 and that had to go back as it gave me eyestrain and camera was poor.

      DAVEGEO Can you used edge 40 neo more than 2 hours straight without any headache or dry eyes like symptoms also what your daily used on edge 40 neo ?

        Hi, yes I can. I'm using it now and my eyes are fine. I use it at work as part of my job and no issues. If I had to be really picky I'd say the screen is a little reflective but I'm sure a screen protector would take the edge off that if needed but it's ok for me so far. You can also turn up the brightness and that cuts through the glare pretty well.

        Has anyone tried the new TCL 40 Nxtpaper? This has just come out, it has budget specs but looks to be a bit different with its screen design:

        Seems to be an IPS LCD screen made to be super matte and paper-like; I might give it a go but I need to find somewhere that sells it in the UK and accepts returns.

          It might be fine for you, you won't know until you look at it.. but this is just a regular non-glossy screen.

          In my case going to the stores doesn't work. I never get problems using phones in the stores. And also don't get many problems in the 1st day while configuring the phone. The problems start by the 2nd day of usage…

              Do not buy TCL phone. TCL have lot of notification issues, only big and famous apps work correctly. Other apps are killed and they do not send notifications anymore.

              Rui I reckon you are not too sensitive in this case. For me the reactions are pretty instantaneous. Even 5 minutes can give a headache that lasts hours.

                Has anyone tried the moto razor + ?

                Out of curiosity, has anyone tested Samsung-proprietary PLS LCD displays such as in Samsung Galaxy A04s phones? Are they much brighter than the average screen, as I read somewhere? Thanks for any feedback!

                Both the TCL 40 Nxtpaper 4G & 5G models use PWM (confirmed by TCL's support team).

                I ordered and used the 40 Nxtpaper 4G, and returned it the following day, as I did not find it comfortable. At lower brightness levels (under 50%), eye strain symptoms developed.

                At higher brightness levels, it's usable, but the backlight is harsh, and reading text on screen wasn't a great experience.

                Also, when using the Nxtpaper modes, the backlight has a strong blue hue, and the eye comfort mode cannot be activated simultaneously.

                Apart from the display issues, the performance of the G88 was awful. Quite laggy, slow, constant stutters and jitters.

                The same nxtpaper like effect can be achieved on any other android phone, by investing in a high quality matte anti glare screen protector, and using android's monochrome/grayscale mode. If owning a xiaomi, miui's paper mode would also achieve the same effect (alongside an anti glare matte protector)

                  Glad to hear it's working for you!

                  The realme 9 pro has proved to be a hit and miss, from some of the feedback I've been reading.

                  It works very well for some, and not so well for others.

                  FYI, I keep mine in dark mode, at a constant 60hz, alongside a celicious matte anti glare screen protector, and It's been working well for me for over a year.

                      I ended up buying the Razr + and after changing a bunch of screen settings I’ve got it to where I’m not getting headaches, or sore eye sockets, still have the neck pain but it is manageable, although I’m not liking it drying out my eyes

                      Latest Fairphone 5 update added DC dimming. Tried it out and it's working well, phone is very usuable now 😁

                        I have the phone for you. Every oked gives me eyestrain. Every eink more or less give me slight eyestrain comparable to looking into nir light. Iphone 11 eyestrain cause of dithering so im very sensitive. I have three devices which gives me no issues and I can use them for hours. Ny phone is poco x3 pro 2 years no eyestrain can use for 8 hours - bad camera but its very good processor better than poco x4 which had dithering. My computer is legion with rtx3070 2021 with best 165hz monitor can use it for hours. Also my tv is old samsung from 2014 no eyestrain.

                        any usable lcd phone other than realme 9 pro because its not available in my area ?

                          Vividblu99 Like you I am in the UK and am aware that you have had success with matte anti glare screen protectors.

                          The main issue I have when immediately looking at a screen is a type of warmth / ray / force being sent out towards my eyes. This varies from device to device.

                          My current handset, Google Pixel 3a, doesn't cause this.

                          Is this what a Celicious matte anti-glare screen protector would prevent based on your experience as I am considering getting one ?

                          Also did you purchase them direct from Celicious or from Amazon ?
