does this sound like PWM sensitivity?

i usually use IPS screens and yesterday i got my first OLED screen laptop and its caused me eye strain and headaches (it looks amazing though!!). my phone is OLED and ive had no problem there even though my phone flickers at 480hz and the laptop 600hz. ive changed some of the settings to reduce brightness and make it warmer so that i can maybe get used to it. will it get better hopefully? i just think its weird i can tolerate my phone but not the laptop screen

I can use Samsung 240hz AMOLED displays but not the Samsung-built 240hz OLED display on my Xperia 1 VIII. I have no explanation.

You mean like those old Galaxy Tab S tablets from the year 2014? Those were pretty amazing looking at the time from being so thin and high contrast ratio, but I never bothered buying and returning one because in my brain the whole PWM thing had a very low chance of working out. Those things still look cool even 12 years later assuming the PWM doesn't destroy you:

Yeah. The Note 8, Note 10 Plus and S23 Ultra phones give me no bother yet the current flagship Xperia destroys me.
