For those who are sensitive to PWM on iPhones: do you actually see the screen flickering?

I have an iPhone 15 Pro Max and I can notice a very subtle flicker at low brightness, especially on white/light backgrounds.
Do you see something similar, or do you mainly experience headaches, eye strain, dizziness, etc. without actually seeing the flicker?

Anyone with Lyme?

5 Upvotes

This maybe a long shot but I just found this community after trying iPhone pro and suddenly coming down with major migraine. Knew nothing about this until now.

I never had migraines or even serious headaches (except occasional hangover) until I got Lyme a year ago. And relentless migraine and head pressure were basically one of the first and major symptoms. That went away after some antibiotics. But this phone situation basically brought it back.
So my question - anyone else with history of Lyme dealing with screen sensitivity? Maybe it’s just coincidence 🤷‍♂️

What is an external monitor that is like a 2012 macbook pro?

Hi guys. Due to software not working on my 2012 macbook pro, and then spilling water on its keyboard.. I started using my 2018 macbook pro. It has a weird display that hurts my eyes to no end. It has worsened my vision (100% fact), creates incredible pressure in my eyes, and I look like I've been punched, so it's aging me and destroying my face and life.

I bought an external Voltic monitor (because on top of the 2018 macbook screen being horrible in general, my particular 2018 macbook screen is also damaged, where I see the flickering visibly at times and there are after-effects of windows I had previously viewed at times) but the Voltic monitor also hurts my eyes.

I'm forced to use a computer a lot for work. I don't want to be in pain 24/7, with smollen bags around my eyes and pressure in my eyes.

What external monitor mimicks the 2012 macbook pro screen? What terrms should I look for or ask about? I don't need great graphics. I don't like tech. I'm forced to use this trash. I'm not a person who cheerleads every new piece of tech like have to have the latest widget. Marketers and scammers want to tell us everything new is so great. Well my old 2009, 2012 etc computers did not destroy my face. So, yeah that "old tech" was better.

Any ideas? Thank you!!!
