This phone has lines as such right up to 100% brightness when photographed using 1/6000 shutter speed. Of course there are no such lines when I photograph the same any of my LCD phones. Edge 2025 is one of the very best OLEDs, so if you are sensitive to what I've captured here you're going to want to stick to LCD.
I have flicker prevention turned on.

"Just use a camera to measure it. 1/6400 shutter speed video will tell us most of what we need to know. Excited to see the results!"
That's why I took a picture at 1/6000.
LCD allows one to use adaptive brightness right down to 0% brightness without any such lines appearing.
I love the Edge 2025, but surely LCD is healthier for the eyes and brain?
Here we are at 100% brightness:
You can see it is better but still apparent.
Two more:
The second one here is at 100% brightness.
Probably very fine for a casual user, but I believe heavy users will benefit from LCD. What do you think?
Flicker prevention is turned ON in all pictures.
Once again, the Edge 2025 is a fantastic device. I enjoy using it more than any of my other devices. I don't blame Motorola for choosing pOLED for their higher end models. However, it is what it is. OLED has intrinsic issues. Even 100% brightness exhibits high-speed flicker.
It is possible for such flicker to make it more difficult to fall asleep if you are using the phone right before bed. An anecdote from a user said it was taking him 2-3 hours to fall asleep after using his Edge 30 (I believe it was) while he was able to fall asleep within 10 minutes when he switched to LCD. I did some searching and found that flicker can stress the body and inhibit melatonin production.
The user I've cited said he was turned into a zombie from the sleep issues caused by his older Moto Edge model. He alleged resolution of his issues when he switched to LCD.
I have to say that visually the Edge screens seem softer than any of my LCD screens and does not at all strain my eyes. However, I am experimenting further to see if my slight headache is caused by the Edge or something else.
I believe it is possible as well issues could get more severe over time as the toxin that is flicker accumulates so to speak in the organism. We don't know enough about these issues and the effects experienced over time by different people.
As many of you know, I have more than once cited Covid because to me that was an eye-opener that those at the height of our civilization are comfortable deceiving the public and are comfortable coercing the public to take injections disguised as vaccines that are, according to a credible expert (Dr. Yeadon), deliberately harmful. Therefore, I am more vigilant and skeptical at this juncture than I was before 2020. There is no going back from what was revealed to those paying attention in 2020 and 2021. As well, I am not the only one. In public I am hearing more and more public referring to conspiracy theories.
Regarding the Edge or any OLED phone, there is merit in testing them on lower brightness levels even if in normal use you would keep them at 100% brightness and use a screen dimmer app. This is because lower brightness increases the flicker issue and therefore may allow you to accelerate any symptoms you will get from using the phone at 100% brightness with a screen dimmer. Therefore, the idea is testing with lower brightness levels saves time, which can be very important for a busy person with a limited return window.
