jordan Oof, yeah I would not consider buying until there is an option without FRC.
In monitors, FRC consistently gives me much worse symptoms than PWM.
My most reliable laptop actually has some mild PWM (which has a low enough flicker depth to not impact my productivity but occasionally I feel light eye pressure or very minor headaches from).
However, despite this PWM, the reason why I can consistently get so much done on that laptop is that I was pretty much entirely able to eliminate FRC and any image enhancement / post-processing.
Bad high-flicker-depth PWM can totally make a display unusable or very irritating to look at for me too, but FRC and other post-processing methods are always "the ones that really get to me" and cause longer term effects in addition to significantly interfering with reading and learning.
Incandescent colors have so much power to heal but if the display still has FRC that's something I almost always notice, it will prevent this display from living up to its brand and achieving "true expanded 2D peripheral vision field and completely still dreamlike quietness state as if frozen in time ꩜" effect.
