Yeah I don't place much hope in SVM being a good metric.
Context matters, have you used the phone with the screen showcasing darker shades of gray (RGB: 55, 55, 55) or in light mode (230-255 RGB values)?
Depending on the scenario, darker grays can exacerbate eyestrain issues.

      qb74 well I firstly tried in light mode since that's default and it was enough for me not to be able to continue messing with it. I even tried the full pwm mode which is 2160Hz at all brightness levels. I sold it to my friend and it was also not good for him either. It was a global model and he also owns 1 other global model and Chinese model of that x100 pro BUT the only one comfortable is the Chinese version which runs originos and not funtouchos. Super weird.

      Regarding dark mode oddly I find dark mode to be most comfortable on my xiaomi 13T with a screen dimmer app further dimming since I use 55% brightness which is 2880hz / 0.08SVM

        Scaling as in windows display size ? I use to use 150 or 200% in the past because everything was small on a high res screen

        I'm not talking about display scaling.

        I'm just talking about web browser text size, or even something like "zooming into an image file that's streamed from a different computer through a VNC viewer" (where in that case, the problematic computer doesn't know the "exact" zoom % value at all, but whatever post-processing algorithm is used before its display output still recognizes a "blurred edge" or something and applies some weird oversharpening effect to it)

          madmozg It's perfect. I have yet to leave the screen from strain at any point since I got it. That doesn't mean I never get mild upticks in migraine like symptoms or slight glow on high contrast text, but never to an extent where it interferes with wanting to sit there or get work done.

          I still have a hard cut where I don't ever research eye strain or similar stuff while using it, or change any settings. As there is no doubt a psychological component to a lot of this, as well as learning to ignore things I do think that helps as well. I switched the bulbs around my workstation to old incandescent bulbs and put in a heated foot massager. Everything to create a space where there is as little discomfort and stress as possible. Rewiring neurons takes time, and finding a way to spend time with a screen while keeping dopamine high and cortisol low does for me seem like a reasonable target.

          I still get insanely tired if I have some excessively flickering led in my peripheral vision, and I get way more symptoms if my neck locks up, eats something that bloat my gut, or consumes B6. Nitrites, perfume and dehydration are also noticeable. Also I almost never use my miniled Macbook, as the screen is utter garbage compared to the XDR. However when I do I keep the exact same PPI, as I think frequent readaption could be an issue. Also my contact lens adjustment seems to help.

          Super happy that this one works, and for now it seems like everything is moving in a positive direction. I'm starting to get a better feel of how everything fits together. For many here I do think it is critical to get both the internal (health/body) and external (screen/lights) factors that contributes to hyperexcitability down below a threshold where it is possible to actually get used to screens again, and to forget about them ever causing issues.

              async I totally agree with your feedback, thanks for sharing!

                Now I'm curious if it is possible to get windows or linux machine working safely with the Pro Display?

                  Would you, or anyone really, be able to share some examples of 1080p 200hz+ monitors that would be good to look at? Recently started looking to upgrade from my old Asus VG245, tried going 1440p but reasonably sure I keep trying KSF phosphor or something else that's triggering extra strain and subsequent nausea.
