When was temporal dithering introduced to TVs/monitors and GPUs?

Did old CCFL monitors use temporal dithering?

It strikes me as odd that it is so often discussed here yet it is so hard to measure.

Isnt the main problem the LED light source. Something with intensity, light spectrum, higher UV output, bigger screens?

Yes they did, I use one.

It's tricky to say, because there isn't a single FRC algorithm.. so an implementation from 15 years ago can be different from an implementation today.

There are multiple issues that affect people differently.

I use several different CCFL monitors without problems. Brightness 100% and reduced color settings to avoid PWM. Only way I can use any LED TV or LED monitor is using "blue light" filter glasses without tint. And others claim they dont do anything. Any suggestions what would be the main issue in my case? LED light intensity or UV maybe?

Displays operate based on instructions from the CPU, GPU, and operating system.

Modern monitors connected to older hardware configurations don’t trigger any symptoms for me, whereas older mid-2000s displays do when connected to modern systems — even those using CCFL backlighting.

As far as I’m concerned, issues with instant digital eyestrain started around 2012.

FabiFr I got extremly lucky that my LG 34gn850-b ultra gear 1440p screen and Ryzen 5950x and 3080 have given me no problem.

I dont know why. Maybe because the panel is 8 bit and 3080 can only output 8 bit so there's no color flicker

Just can't find a tv that works. Even when I select 8 bit on a 8 bit tv panel

I've often said I'm stuck in 2012… for similar reasons.
