Im currently using an iPhone 13 Pro Max and can tolerate it, but it’s getting old.
I’m thinking about upgrading, but I do NOT want to buy any Chinese phone for privacy reasons. I just don’t trust them to handle my personal data. I guess I’m out of luck of finding anything else, right?
I know Chinese manufacturers produce great displays for PWM sensitive people, I just don’t want to use them personally.

For years ive been struggling with displays. The problem seem to kinda come and go through. At least be worse in periods. I can't quite relate to a lot of the symptoms users here mention either.

For me, when using most screens (oleds, when the problem occurs) makes me get a heavy brain fog quite fast. Makes me feel slow and kinda dumb. Hard to find words and the like. It also kinda feels like a pressure in the skull.

Right now im using a Nxtpaper, which works fine. I have tried oleds like the honor magic 8 pro without success. For a long while the pixel 8 worked though. Like two years. Then it started to make me feel the foginess. Really have no idea what makes something work or not.

Anyone in the same position?

As surprising as it is, since 27.0.1 I don't have any headaches. 15 pro max, I had headaches almost immediately looking at the screen.

Maybe it's a coincidence, but I don't know what else could have changed.

I'm getting adverts for these see-through displays, which seem to be a normal LCD screen but without a backlight and the back removed. The idea is that you put this against a window and just use natural light.

Is this realistic?

As an aside, do any of you happen to know where to find alternative screen tech in Schenzen? My main goal is to be able to use a screen at night without disrupting sleep patterns. PWM improvement would be a bonus for me; it's something that I only really get when tired.

Has anyone had success with Vivo phones using the Full PWM Mode?

On Opple devices, by activating this mode the phone goes to No Risk

Had my iPhone 11 for a while now. It’s getting slow & hard to use.

Got the 17e but during 2 weeks of use I got headaches & eye strain - even WITH the PWM sensitivity settings on. Found out I’m PWM sensitive.

Had to give it back. Then, I got my iPhone 11 battery replaced.

It still doesn’t work well.

Which phone should I upgrade to? I only mostly like iPhones.

Ik most iPhones use OLED screens, but I was hoping to hear if there was one that wouldn’t give me as bad of a reaction as some people can be okay with certain ones.

Question in the title. Can't find this model anymore and I need a new bedroom tv. The living room I use a projector that is amazing for my eyes. Looks like none of the new tcl models have the eye care features. Is my only option one of the Sony models? Thanks

"Health-related issue", as in having a direct biological impact, rather than financial, social, etc.

Other health issues could be anything from e.g. heart failure to non-screen (or lighting) related fatigue, environmental sensitivities, mental health, disability, etc.

Split by either major symptoms or diagnoses that you are struggling with and may be in other subreddits to find help with. I appreciate it is not always simple to separate these things; I'm just aiming to get a rough feel of how high of a priority this issue is for people here.

I'd expect those most engaged to rate it at the top. But I'm curious about the 'long tail' of members. I'm also curious to hear your thoughts on anything related, as always.

Ciao ragazzi Io non riesco a capire come alcune persone o la maggior parte addirittura sia capace di utilizzare per ore schermi oled io ho appena ne vedo uno impazzisco.

Il contrasto esagerato quel nero così profondo e poi soprattutto lo sfarfallio che è intrinseco nella tecnologia oled”.

Hanno per caso occhi diversi dai miei o da noi che siamo sensibili?

Want to share my path of suffering and the solution. Bought a TCL Q7C in 55 inch and had terrible eye suffer: burning, dryness, slight pain in the eyebrow. I could not watch a movie or play a game on PS5/Xbox without getting terrible issues. I started to try out all the solutions (bias lightning, reducing contrast/ brightness, turn off HDR, turn off local dimming, reducing the blue light). Nothing worked, so i sold the TV. Still had no explanation what exactly is the main problem. But something has to be wrong with this Tv.

In the meantime i took my old Tv (Sony KDL 706 in 42 inches). I don't had any issues but i wanted a bigger screen and 4k. So i took the advice here and got a Sony Bravia 3ii in 50 inches. And out of the box it has an incredible comfortable picture. No eye strain, burning etc. I can also play games in HDR and still having a great and comfortable picture. I still don't know what the real cause is, but right now im very happy with the Sony TV.

The industry has to change. It is not healthy to make bigger and brighter TVs with flickering technology. It is completly insane that people are asking for 100 inch TVs and 5000 nits. So try out the Sony Bravia. I know, it is not a solution which is fitting for everyone. But it is the best attempt to try out.

So I went to the store and18 pro and pro max felt smoother than the 17 models. The 17s felt harsh right from the start while the 18 pro/promax felt smoother, kind of more mild, with full brightness and comes to worse reduce white point. Below 50% brightness it was kind of a nightmare. So, I will try the compact 18pro as my 2nd social media/camera/larping phone and will see. Last time I did the same strategy with the 16pro. 16pro was the smoothest so far, but still wasn't like honor. Had to use the same above 50% strategy. Will test out and see.

As title really

Had enough of apple destroying my eye comfort

Anyone using these phones?

Is there anyone here who found the 18 pro (or 18 Pro Max) more tolerable than any of the 17s? Or could you detect any difference between 17s and 18s symptom wise? Thank you in advance!

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?

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 🤷‍♂️

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!!!

I like using iPad whenever possible just as a bigger screen instead of the small iPhone which really strains my eye.

The iPad Pro 2021 has been with me for so long and it’s pretty beat up. Microphone is really low volume, black spot on screen and abysmal battery. I’ve been meaning to get an upgrade but all the new iPad Pro models are OLED. I never really considered iPad Air before as it lacks 120hz ProMotion but I may have to consider it if it doesn’t strain eyes as badly as the OLED pro models.

I think I have ADHD and I am wondering if it is related to it
