DC Dimming High-End OLEDs?

High Hz on OLED produce excellent strobeless motion blur reduction with fast GtG pixel response. It is easier to tell apart 60Hz vs 120Hz vs 240Hz on OLED than LCD, and more visible to mainstream. Includes WOLED and QD-OLED displays.

I’ve tried many OLED displays of all types
You tried both desktop WOLED and QDOLED of 240Hz and up? Both 240Hz types still give you eyestrain?

(Ignoring historicals or mobiles; ignoring 165Hz or lower)

Yes, I tried it and I had the same issue unfortunately...

It will now be necessary to wait out OLED technology improvements for a while, so it falls to a different panel tech. I suggest, as an interim measure, getting special sunglasses called "computer glasses" (google that, search on Amazon, etc) -- orange tinted glasses designed to reduce eyestrain.

The nice thing is that these often cost only $20 -- much cheaper than a new monitor. While this does not work for everyone, sometimes eyestrain triggers are a combination of flicker + blue light wavelengths + brightness + etc.

Even if you don't wear them all the time, it's a useful diagnostic tool & also helps tolerates monitors you're forced to work with (e.g. displays on your desk at your job).

Low lying apple, that I need to remind people more often about.
