  • In Dither only on HDR upscaled video

    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.

      • In Are there external devices that can test for temporal dithering?

        I read up on that. The easiest and cheapest way is to get an microscope attachment for your phone and then use the "Slow Mo" function to observe the screen. Apparently you need about 200x magnification. You can get 200x magnifying attachments on Aliexpress for about 15$.
        I ordered one, but it has not yet arrived.

          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!

          • In Usable Smartphones?

            Aquila No good for me. Got me bad headaches early. I assume temporal dither, but could not test it and returned it the next day.

            • In Honor X9c Smart Promising?
              • Honor promises a DC dimming LCD with this phone.
              • Honor never seems to make use of dither in their screens in general.
              • It has a newer upper midrange CPU with the MediaTek Dimensity 7025-Ultra
              • 8GB/12 ram

              I think this phone just MIGHT be what people here have been waiting for for a new phone.
