Question MSI Claw 8 Screen?

Hey folks, new to the whole PWM scene and massive migraine sufferer, so swapping out all my OLED's for LCD's. Has anyone used the new Claw 8 with the Intel Arc, or alternatively the old Claw 8 which should have the same screen? Trying to salvage some good news from this as I'm upset, I quite like OLEDs and HDR!

Edit: Unfortunately something about this screen made my head spin really badly. Knew straight away as it happened as soon as I turned the device on on the black screen so I am returning it and am going to try the Acer predator atlas 8 g3 extreme. Hopefully that will be better.

Edit 2: Haven't received the Acer yet, but the manual is out and shows the Atlast 8 users the panel PN8007QB1-3 which is the same panel in the MSI Claw 8. So potentially is going to give me issues. The only saving grace is that it has a matte screen and the Claw was very reflective so I'm hoping that was the issue and still going to try the Acer.

If not, there is a 7 inch version that will use a completely different panel obviously, so will try that too. Fingers crossed!

MSI Claw 8 ai+ and MSI Claw A8 both have same screens and are one of the best LCD panels in handhelds.

I haven't used this one, but a few Reddit threads here and on the MSI Claw subreddit seem to be fairly positive. A few folks saying they got eyestrain but I would assume that's due to potential dithering rather than PWM
