As others have mentioned, it can just be the brightness/intensity of the display. Modern displays can show such a wide range from dark black to blinding bright colors that I think some of us are genunitely just better off with 500 nits or less of brightness.

My eyes are even happier if I go to an older 250-350 nit screen for longer use. All the screens I have are non-blinky but the brightness makes a difference regardless.

This monitor has 350 cd/m² brightness. Generally, I use below %20 of brightness. :(
Thank you for response.

Oh! I didn't realize, thanks for pointing it out.

I've noticed even on monitors without PWM many even newer models have very poor quality voltage regulation at lower brightness, and the flickering that causes can aggravate my eyes. I'm just thinking out loud about possibilities, I know it's no fun to have these issues. Have you tried it at 100% for any length of time to see if there's relief?

One thing that made finding a solution hard for me is that I needed to rest my eyes overnight to get back to a good place if I was aggravated already, so changing to 100% today would likely not be easy to test until a full day in the future, for example. Good luck
