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.

Both of those are 24" FHD KSF panels. Refer to my list for YAG or QD options.

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

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)
