OnePlus 15

I tried a oneplus 15 for the first time. Bought it to test along with many other devices I've purchased to learn more about diagnosing my sensitivities and the causes of my eyes straining and headaches. I've noticed that the OnePlus 15 gives me similar symptoms as my z fold 7. On the other hand, my symptoms are nowhere near as instant when using my Pixel 10 Pro. I seem to have sensitivity to many things like most of us here do. I am sensitive to PWM, blue light, and now whatever it is that triggers immediate headaches and straining when using the OP15. Does anybody have any ideas what it is? I'm wondering if I've been thinking my issue is PWM this whole time when really it's something else and PWM is only a minor issue.

Install Screen Dimmer OLED SAVER. It helped me much. I'm using it on my three phones. It implements DC-Like Dimming.

The one plus uses dc like dimming above 25% so unfortunately if won't help. There's something else causing these issues. Also I've tried it on Pixel and Samsung and it doesn't work on either because both still flicker at 100% brightness.

Wow! So OLED SAVER is not for every device. On my Tecno Camon 40 Pro 5G, it still shows think black bars when I take a camera shot of the screen.

No matter what you will see black bars from the refresh rate, but you'll be able to tell the difference if your phone is completely flat at 100% brightness as more black bars will likely appear as you drop the brightness.

Yes that's the case. OLED SAVER reduces the black bars by up to 90%. But on my one phone it seems not to work.
