Watermelon By the way using moto G35 as second phone in pair with pixel 8. It's torturously slow. But screen seems to be real 8 bit. Bought it because it's unisoc. Hence no miravision or anything like that. Technically. But I saw some half Chinese article that unisoc also uses some kind of dithering. I disabled animations and did that overlay thing. I can see why disabling animations can help. Basically significantly less shades of gray. With overlay literally no idea. Night light doesn't work for me. And never worked. Biggest problem is that it isn't an amoled and hence irritates my eyes with reading. For movies it's totally fine. I guess that for reading it shall be rooted amoled like pixel 8 pro or pixel 3 xl with 4000 pwm. Or e ink. Or reflective LCD perhaps. But I have no idea where I can test those(reflective LCD) in Germany. And I don't feel safe paying a lot of money to some Chinese guys for something I night not like and that isn't easy to return.
d_balon Reinhard62 if you get an answer, let us know. I did not see "disable HW rendering" as an option on my phone.
simplex d_balon In developer settings, "disable HW overlays" (always use GPU for screen rendering) into ON It helps me, but this option reset each phone restart time
d_balon simplex I did see "disable HW overlays" and did turn it on. Just to ask, how does this help someone?
simplex d_balon how does this help I suppose, it force GPU (hardware) for rendering over CPU (software)
iliyanz For phones a blue light screen protector may help especially if you have success with "blue light" glasses

d_balon I use an android but just to ask; is there a way to "disable HW overlays" or "disabling HW video rendering" on an iPhone?
parawizard I am using a Moto G Play 2024 without any issue. Cheap too. Pixel 6a makes me confused and gives me a headache in like 30 seconds.
ensete Reinhard62 Sorry, yes Overlays It will reset with each phone reset, I imagine there is some app out there that can simulate tapping where you could set up a macro to turn it back off after each reboot. I reboot my phone so rarely that I just do it manually when needed.
K-Moss "I am using a Moto G Play 2024 without any issue." Anyone else here still using this phone without issue? Seems like it is one of the better ones now for eye health and comfort.
JimK K-Moss Same here!!! Moto G Play 2024 is the first "normal" (non e-ink) smartphone that does not cause me any symptoms!! I have it 2 days now, after more than 10 years of suffering, and it's the first one that really works without any issues!!!
JimK K-Moss My Moto G Play 2024 got updated to Android 14…and since then it is causing me slight eye strain…The problem is s that i do not know how to return it to the previous version… Can you help…??
Zazu Huawei Nova 8i, Model NEN-LX1 I force GPU rendering, and disable HW overlays. I can use this as my daily phone with little issue. Long periods (2+ hours) I will start to get whoozy and nauseous. Only thing that sucks is not Google services.
