Quick update on Dell U4025QW connected with:
- Macbook Pro M3: At first it felt fine, but after a while it started to give an eye strain. Tried with BetterDisplay 8/10bit. Nothing helps.
- Macbook 2019 Intel: I tried in the evening next day after MBP M3 and it was totally fine, not eye strain at all. But next day it started to give me slight eye strain and then headaches. Tried with BetterDisplay 8/10bit, nothing changed. Tried to disable font smooth, will test more.
- Windows 11 3070 Ti: Still gives me similar eye strain as Intel macbook, I'm able to work/play for few hours but then I want to give my eyes some rest and small headaches are coming as well. Slept bad during the night because of that. I didn't use any specific apps to disable dithering, just regular nvidia settings to force 8bit.
I did testing with opple, there is no flicker at all. Solid backlight at any brightness and at any color or grayscale.
With microscope I was able to detect dithering with MBP M3 connected on darker gray color. On bright colors its very hard to notice any dithering with 120/240fps. Dithering is present no matter if betterdisplay set to 8 or 10 bit.
If someone could share any good method how to disable dithering on Win11, that would be awesome, so I can test it.
After using this monitor for 3 days, I feel some tiredness at the back of my eyes, tired nape and small headaches.
