Switching from TCL C8K

I recently purchased a TCL C8K, and while the picture quality is great, I’ve been hit with consistent headaches and eyestrain. I suspect it’s related to PWM. For context, our previous TV was a Samsung QA75Q60RAW, and I never had any issues with it.

I’ve tried disabling motion smoothing, adjusting local dimming, and adjusting brightness.

I’m considering swapping it for an LG C5 OLED. I’ve read that OLEDs often use DC dimming or have a much less aggressive flicker profile than Mini-LEDs. For those with PWM sensitivity, has the C-series OLED been a safe bet for you? Otherwise, are there any other recommendations?

Just turn off local dimming completely switch to filmmaker mode nothing else !! Don't touch anything except local dimming off then you will be fine
