LED monitors make me dizzy, and that's affecting my performance at work. Today was a very difficult day for me and I felt so discouraged and sad about my situation. I'm afraid of losing my job. This post cheered me up and gave me hope. Thank you for thinking in us!
Worlds first naturally backlit monitor
@createaz curious what type of light is used, LED or CCFL?
I pre-ordered the monitor, overall I'm satisfied with it, but unfortunately it does not solve my problem.
I'm not photo sensitive, but I'm super sensitive to glare, thus using this monitor next to a window is not an option for me.
I prefer dark room, so I'm using it with the backlight on, tbh the light temperature feels like my 15 years old CCFL, DELL ST2410 (TN)
TN panels are the only ones that seem to work for me and this is first IPS monitor that I can use, tbh it feels like TN, with slightly better blacks. Usually I can't tolerate strong blacks and prefer washed out colors but somehow on this monitor the contrast does not bother me as much.
Another interesting thing is I can tolerate my MBP and MBA M2 on it without using BetterDisplay (virtual screen which disables dithering/FRC)
In a summary for me
EAZEYE IPS = TN + Mac with BetterDisplay
It does not improve my situation, just matches my somewhat tolerable setup (which took me years to figure out)
PS: The monitor stand needs to be redesigned, no vertical alignment option was fixable with book under it, but the pin locking thing is terrible, super unstable, it fall 10 times within the first hour of usage, I'm avoiding to touch the monitor not to fall on the desk and break the screen.

FYI betterdisplay virtual screen by itself does not truly disable dithering, you also need to use one of the most recent BetterDisplay beta builds with a new "GPU Dithering" toggle under Image Adjustments in order to to fully disable it. BTW, dithering is disabled when the toggle is gray.
link to BetterDisplay beta build with GPU Dithering toggle: https://github.com/waydabber/BetterDisplay/releases/download/v2.0.0-pre-release/BetterDisplay-v2.3.0-b28290-pre.zip
hmm I installed the beta but I do not see that option
I'm using low res 1600*900 on external monitor, when I overlap two windows (eg. system settings + About this Mac) color banding is very visible so was assuming dithering is disabled (MBP 16inch Radeon Pro 5300M).
I also have enabled:
- Always use the discrete graphics card
- Amulet Hotkey on AMD card > 10.9 OS
Tho I'm not sure if they make any difference, screen feels same as before when using just BetterDisplay without those two changes
