I read up a little bit on why Mediateks Miravision would be bad. The only thing I found was that it automatically "enhances colors" on supported video apps. I heavily assume this meant they introduce dither. I was wondering if that is really the only bad thing that Miravision introduces, why people would not notice they only have headaches when watching videos. This made me think, for my new DC dimming Honor Magic 7 Pro with Qualcomm chip I seem to only get the headaches some days and others are fine. I started to pay attention and noticed, that yes indeed my headaches always come watching videos. Since it said "supported apps" for Miravision I thought maybe this Qualcomm equivalent works the same and YES indeed! Watching Youtube on Firefox the past week has been completely fine for me!

Maybe this could actually be a solution for many people here. Can you confirm my findings?

If this is the case, maybe all we have to do to reduces headaches in our community if to implore Youtube, Qualcomm and Mediatek to add an accessibility option to "restrict color space" and in the meanwhile we can use Firefox for Youtube, Netflix etc on our phones.

I hope my findings help some users here to have less symptoms! 🙂

Shutout to Honor for the recent update that improved modulation on DC dimming when 8T LTPO Single stripe mode is activated on the Magic 7 Pro!

    So on my xiaomi 13t when I hop between apps I can see the colors go very vibrant when i open facebook for example. I was wondering about apps being the issue and if your saying that youtube bothers you but youtube through firefox does not then that makes total sense! The snapdragon alternative I think is dolby vision? You could technically change the build prop values for dolby vision and such I think? also the app "app cloner" has the ability to modify apps and clone them. One of the options it offers is to disable wide color gamut support which I think would be the fix for the app related strain. I just have not tried it as I think you have to pay for the app.

        jordan I don't use Facebook, but I guess it could be that apps can take advantage of it outside of videos? Or maybe that is a Qualcomm thing exclusively. This would explain why no new phones at all seem to be save for everyone since the Magic 70 Lite.

        I think I also notice that gradients are smoothed out on Youtube the App, but not via Firefox. I made some screenshots and I do feel it is the case, but it is difficult to say for sure without the ability to pause the video at the exact same time. I thought about maybe experimenting with static video content to make sure. Not even sure if this would show up on screenshots tho.

        Is "App Cloner" legit? I don't really wanna install software that is shady on the same device I use for banking. I will look into the app tho, it does sound interesting.

            Intet firefox nightly or the rebuild of it called fennec has about:config that allows you to disable color management stuff BTW. Probably no need if it feels fine for you though. I've used app cloner in the past but I never paid for it.i used it to duplicate apps to have multiple logins
