Donux What is worrying however, each time someone presents solution on this forum, discussion kind of goes away somewhere. E.g. someone said LG model is very good for them as a monitor, and that is it, discussion is gone. When I would like to see then clear discussion around it and repeated confirmations of assessments. In reality, some people come back and say, well it does not work for me. Or others go off line as forum looses its purpose.
Yeah, it is akin to hearing a prophecy from an oracle a few towns over and then trying to track down whatever device. Or a game of telephone
JTL Without analysis of the root causes (if at all possible) there isn't exactly a whole lot to work with.
We lack the tools to measure every component, not to mention disassemble a device and do any sort of actual proper scientific testing. This stuff should be done during R&D and then verified by manufacturers during production and final quality control testing.
It’s why there’s been such a focus on PWM and dithering despite many across the internet claiming the latter is a red herring. You have to go for the low hanging fruit and I don’t think it’s unreasonable to want to eliminate the sources of flicker on devices before pursuing other triggers. Most of us are triggered by flicker and if you can’t remove that trigger, there’s going to be no way of actually testing whether things like polarization, pixel arrangement, backlight types, and so on and so on are actually contributing to symptoms.
I think in this regard Macs are actually better to test with if you have a usable external display because at least GPU dithering can be disabled. The problem is understanding what else is occurring within the display pipeline that seems to introduce problems. We’ve seen bizarre situations where a M1 Air is fine on external monitor but an M1 Mini is not. Clearly we are missing something.
Windows is very complicated because of hardware variation and I don’t even know how you’d get close to a reproducible setup with a PC for testing.
