xperia 1 V opple test - 100% brightness

jordan

If anyone is interested.. only tested 100% brightness as I don't want to keep looking at screen without a dimmer 😅 eyes super sensitive.

Going to use this on off for the next week or so and see how it feels compared to my 13T that I normally daily.

QUESTION.. is there a better method to dim screen? Dim it films? Any thoughts ?

Sunspark

What dimmer are you using? This is the one I have installed on mine for when I need it, give it a try, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.github.ericytsang.screenfilter.app.android

Sunspark I'm actually using that one now! I just was curious if those dim it screen films would possibly work better than relying on the app

Sunspark

jordan Unknown.. the apps work as a software overlay by changing the colour values displayed, but NOT at the kernel level like cf.lumen (no longer developed) which isn't a software overlay unless rooted. If you have a rooted device then cf.lumen can work very well.

You don't even need to buy some expensive custom film to try.. just grab a transparent plastic sheet in different colours from an office supply store and slap it on for an ad-hoc evaluation.

Sunspark what's the advantage at the kernel level? More stable or?

Yeah maybe I'll try something like that, or some irlens colored overlays.

Btw I'm surprised theres no way with root/custom ROM to enforce different PWM frequencies ?

To make a long story short, the code for controlling the display can be device specific, and it's unclear if the PWM frequency (for example) can be decoupled from the panel refresh rate (because e.g 60 * 4 = 240 which probably explains the common 240Hz PWM frequency).

Although LG OLED TV's are considered by some to be close to be the "gold standard" for OLED displays, and those have a minor brightness dip in connection with the frame refresh.
