    Hello,

    I am glad you found this out. I wish I was better at marketing my blog here (https://heteroforie.webnode.cz/) as I have been writing about this for over a year now. Thank you @weasley and @ryans for mentioning it here. Please feel free to use it as a resource or even to show some of the articles to the professionals. I know some are a bit too long and will make them shorter and to the point in the future.

    I think this proves most everyone here has binocular vision dysfunction. What does it mean for the tech? The tech disrupts eye fixation, or makes it so hard that for people with BVD, issues and pain occur. This is eliminated with using one eye only, however some pain or discomfort may still persist, as BVD often comes with accomodation insufficiency (ability of eye lens to change shape and focus) which shows with one eye work as well. Accomodation problems might be a reason why using one of the eyes feels better than the other still (as one eye may have more accomodation issues than the other).

    The alternating eye approach is amazing and has helped @mike a lot. I will discuss this with my professional, this can be an interesting shortcut to improving the situation, since my training took 2 years and I am still practicing once a week to keep the gains.

    I think if everyone here is eventually proven to have BVD, it would be great, as it could help raise a case with the tech companies (tech should be adjusted to not disrupt eye fixation for example).

    I am also glad you dont have to waste more money, as all the tests I have written on my website and that can diagnose this can be done for free or very cheaply.

    • Lauda89 because the dithering should not be linked to the CPU but instead with the GPU and monitor

      Ah, this isn't actually the case in most laptops @Lauda89 - only laptops which have G-Sync capabilities where you can switch so that the display is connected directly to the dGPU,

      In almost every other case, the frame buffer of the discrete GPU is passed to the integrated GPU to be displayed on the screen - what you're talking about is true for a desktop machine however. 😀

      @weasley - as you'll know, in this game it is literally impossible to make recommendations for other people - what works for one is by no means guaranteed to work for another as we're talking about a neurological condition here.

      I would, however, be tempted to suggest a G-Sync laptop as there is at least some fleeting evidence that it works for some, myself included (although I only tried the one laptop).

      weasley does on your Omen machine the main display still run on the igpu?

      The reason I bought the Omen laptop is because you can switch it to run exclusively on the discrete GPU and bypass the Intel GPU altogether. There are more details on this in the original post. G-Sync laptops allow you to switch to the dGPU only, but at the sacrifice of any kind of power saving possibilities.
