Hehe yeah you are the first one I heard that is sensitive to light flicker and doesnโt get hurt by a slow flickering in OLED displays, I think itโs 60Hz or 120Hz on TVs depending on the refresh rate which is too low to be comfortable, for example Iโm very sensitive to light flicker and I canโt stand an OLED display, but I can comfortably use a LED TV like the Sony x90L which has 720Hz pwm flicker according to RTINGs, 60Hz flicker from OLED is too low for me.
OLED TV Samsung S90C
We are strange that's a fact. I can use iPhone 15 pro max, but only with plastic screen protector and refresh turned to max 60hz. For me it's combination of refresh rate, color of display and surface of the screen. If some thing is changed or wrong direct eye strain and had pain. But for now I have great time that tech and lighting I use can give me normal life. Worst is wisting new places, but it's time to time.
Brightness 12 at day, are you able to see anything with that brightness ?
I want to try this new mini-led TV https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/tcl/qm8-qm851g-qled#test_180 with 30kHz PWM and more smooth waveforms.. I wish OLED could do something with their crazy sharp waveforms.. Maybe it could do something to our sensitivity..
If somebody will try my settings please replay, maybe we can find some common settings wich can help with using it for others or it only work form me.
Settings must be applied just after configuration because default setting are very bright and saturated to avoid fast eye strain.
My panel is QD-OLED second gen so even newer model S90D should work with this settings
Abeabe I came across this thread while searching about my new 65X90L, im using it half as a TV and half plugged into my laptop for gaming but I'm finding my eyes feel dry and scratchy after about half an hour watching it, I'm wondering if it's from PWM? interesting that you have no problems with this TV, did you have to find specific settings that work for you? are you able to see the flicker on it through a camera at high shutter speed with your configuration? I was looking at OLED if this TV doesn't work for me, but it looks like OLED has problems too. thanks!!

qwop Hello, I have pwm sensivity and also I have photophobia so my settings are somewhat dark, I am using my 65x90L at 4k and 120hz in game mode with a rtx4090, 60hz give me eye strain, also I am using it at 0 brightness, contrast 40 or less, sharpness at 0 because more than 0 gives me eye strain, reality creation disabled, enabled gives me eye strain, smooth gradation disabled, local dimming medium, color in expert mode, in adv color temperature R-gain Max, G-gain -13, B-gain -20, hdr disabled and hdmi color range auto and color space auto, everything else I think is at default, I use too a custom high contrast windows theme with a dark brown background and light grey letters, white backgrounds gives me alot of eye strain.
