I've been breaking my brain trying to find any sort of TV that is supposed be easy on the eyes. Does anyone have a specific TV model they actually use that is actually working for their sensitive eyes?
Can someone recommend a specific TV model that actually worked for them?
yeah, I love plasma TVs. unfortunately, I don't have one..
I'm only moderately sensitive, so take it with a grain of salt: The LG OLED C1 works great for me.
I am using the LG B8 OLED 55" with almost zero issues. Almost because if a link the tv with a bad source, like my gaming pc, i have the same symptoms as i am using the monitor PC.
So again, for me is 100% a software problem.
I used the B8 with an old full hd chromecast, PS4, switch and PS5. But some games give me dizziness / migraine like god of war Ragnarok, instead i played almost 100 hourse to Horizon Forbidden West.

Seagull Do those viera TV's have PWM?
What has worked for me is to change the resolution from 1080 to 720. I have a Samsung 50 Inch TV Crystal UHD 4K Flat Smart TV - UA50AU8100UXZN (2021 Model). No way I can watch this in 4K or 1080. Gives me headaches immediately. It's the same for laptops, I don't run them with 1080. I run the resolution at 1366 x 768 and that helps a lot.
Sony and LG: the best types of matrix for us.

Panasonic's TV's (panasonics and LEDs) were always great for me, but they no longer make them
I have a new LG OLED 65 inch I think or maybe 75" that causes me no issues at all.
I can say over time TV's seem to be getting better/less symptomatic all on thier own
AgentX20 I can look it up later but it's over a year or two old by now so I doubt it's still available.
I would recommend going to a Best Buy and physically looking at a TV before buying one. It's the best chance you will have of knowing whether or not it is suitable for you. Ask the person working there for the remote and you can try different settings and such

Not a TV expert as I bought my first one in 17 years last December :-)
Hisense 40" A4 Series FHD LED VIDAA Smart TV 2022 (40A4HAU). It caused some trouble the first few weeks, i.e., I found the colors horrible/very unrealistic. The experience became much better when I switched to Night Mode. It is a basic TV with poor definition so it may not be what you are after, but for me it is enough as I use it seldom and I did not want to make a big investment to find out I could not use it.
A couple of months ago I also added a Chromecast with Google TV (HD). When I use it to cast from my mobile phone, I have no problems. However, if I watch, say, YouTube or use any app via the Chromecast, I believe colors reset to standard or go off with respect to the Night mode of the TV and I get some eyestrain. There may be a way to fix this but I have not yet bothered playing around with the settings of the Chromecast.
Also, I travel a fair bit and my success rate with hotel TVs is pretty much 100%. Most have been Samsung and LG. However, when I went to pick up my TV in the shop I walked the aisles and shortly checked out a lot of TVs including the very expensive models. Probably a 3-5 minutes in total. I developed sever symptoms which lasted for a couple of days. I am pretty sure it was from the TVs and not from the overhead lights as I had already been in that shop for other reasons, had not watched TVs and had come out fine. Therefore, as for other electronics, there is definitely something that triggers symptoms in TVs too but I cannot tell what it is.
Small update on my LG B8 55" TV. Yesterday my girlfriend accidentally updated the firmware to version 05.50.15 and now I get a migraine after 10 minutes.
Now I only have iphone X with ios 14 left which I can use without any symptoms.
It is unbelievable that there is no downgrade option for modern TVs. The only solution is to block Internet access for TVs. If you need Internet on a TV, use an external device (I know it's difficult to find one that is usable). If you need LAN access (e.g. for ADB or local streaming), you could block Internet access by setting the TVs gateway to 0.0.0.0. But I would also block the TV's IP and MAC address in your router (if possible) as additional security measure.
Sony x85k - I can watch for as long as I want, no issues at all. I’m sensitive to all iPhone OLEDs so far. For context, I have iPhone 13 and can’t use it for longer than a minute without experiencing eye discomfort and dizziness. Same with iPhone 12.
