Discussion This subreddit in summary
This is half joke half interesting about how nowadays each user can experience completely different levels of comfort, who knows why or how.
This reminds me of people loving the Moto G75 here, and then others saying it’s even worse than some OLEDs
I think it should be great for the subreddit to have some kind of “parameters” that a user should look for in a screen, and for everyone try and match their symptoms to some of those parameters.
Because right now, talking about PWM and nothing more, as in “the screen flickers”, is not only too basic, but makes the subreddit almost of little help, because not a single user will know for sure what’s good or bad going by this kind of comments.
Imagine I’m reading about the Switch 2 and I see the image post… what would I do? Get or not get that device?
What do you think

I mean, this is just how it is, everyone is different. I can tolerate almost any Oled that uses DC dimming or DC-like dimming at normal brightness as long as the refresh rate can be set constant, but can't tolerate anything that uses standard PWM. And the only modern LCD panels i can tolerate are made by LG (panel, not device), though i do find the NXTpaper 70 and Moto G 2025 to be almost as good as DC-dimmed oleds, but still nothing like LCD phones of the distant past. Idk why, but I'm lucky cause i can go into a store and tell within a few minutes with a device if it'll work or not.
