    Yeah, unfortunately I might be one of those people. I can also see some monitors flickering which gives me a headache in sub 3 minutes.

    It’s a curse. Especially with in-office pairing.

      I think that’s PWM dimming vs DC dimming.

      PWM dimming turns pixels on and off to make them darker. So for 50% of the brightness, it’s off 50% of the time. Higher end panels flicker much faster which helps mitigate perceived flicker. I think 500hz and above is preferred.

      For DC dimming is just using voltage to control the darkness with no flickering involved.

      I have a friend who has always been picky about displays, I thought he was just being nit picky

      Since normally my eyes can’t distinguish between 480 and 1080 under normal circumstances and flicker goes un noticed
