jordan Speaking of ccfl my TV uses that and I played with the settings and I got the pwm frequency super high and it actually isn't bad at all on my eyes maybe strainy after watching TV a little but it's connected to a apple tv. When I had my crypto PC connected to it I think it was better than the apple tv.
As an aside, tvOS 17 hurts my eyes whereas tvOS 16 was comfortable (on a projector). I don’t know exactly what changed. I did plug in my video capture device to check for temporal dithering, and there was none detected (unless it’s inconsistent between output devices).
Of course, Apple doesn’t let you go back, and updates are either automatic or you get constantly nagging reminders to install them. They are easily triggered by children playing with the remote. 🤦🏻♂️ I’ve been through three or four Apple TV devices and keep having to scrounge for the ones with a recent tvOS 16 on eBay. I’m currently trying to figure out how to block updates with a firewall or custom DNS server.
