Thats good to know. I bought the Gigabyte MO27Q28G. But like I said, I have the feeling my right eyelid (which is the one causing problems) is like over sensitive. I still think it also still might be from the screen size or something. Looking for a 24,5 inch monitor now cause there are some YAG options here since there are no 27 inch options (besides the Pulsar which is a waste of money cause I have 9070xt).

AOC AG256FS or Samsung Odyssey G4 as a cheaper option, although im not sure theyre both YAG.

I try these for 30 days first though... then give my eyes some rest and then ill try another option.

That's too bad. I'll stick to the list. I saw you added the ASRock Phantom Gaming PG27QFW2A as well to YAG. However it has high srgb and DCI P3. So I'll skip it for now. I'll update you once I have an update. Thanks a lot for the help so far ! :)

That one I'm unsure of. I want to say it's QD based on the data, but I cannot tell for certain.
If you tell me which specific region you're from (NA/EU), I can give you concrete links to models.
The Pulsar panels are rare QHD +240Hz YAG based models.
Btw, with "the list", I've meant this write-up

I'm from the Netherlands. And thanks. I didn't see you updated that list. The rentry list I picked the XG259QNS, but based on the specs I think it's also QD. (Wide color gamut). I prefer IPS over TN since I also wanna use it for work. So I'm trying to avoid TN but I think I'll end up with TN if it keeps going like this :( . Current TN monitor I have the colors don't bother me that much so maybe it'll be fine after all.

It's likely a YAG backlight (narrow color gamut)
