But the best solution is to get a Chinese flagship phone the PWM is insane and using OnePlus, Realme, Xiaomi phones never gave me any headaches or eye fatigue.

I'm definetly getting a flagship chinese phone in a few months, it's going to save my eyes from dryness and eye fatigues.
For everybody who read this, check notebook check pwm list, most of chinese brands lies to you about hight Hz, they have hight only on low 30% brightness in normal 2 times less than samsung s24 or iphone 15
240Hz PWM on Galaxy S23 series destroys your eyes and causes migraine. The most expensive brands, Samsung, iPhone, Google pixels have the worst PWM. On the other hand, Chinese brands have 1920Hz, 2160Hz, that is unacceptable.
Oled are quite slow compared to regular LED, meaning they cant flicker as much. Some laptop backlight can even flicker at 10khz The best option is to have DC dimming on 101 nits and up and to have 360-720hz PWM on 100 nits and lower. Brightess matters lower brightness PWM would definitely reduce eyestrain... going full DC is not an option as it result on very bad grey scale performance Big brands will probably never try going high 1920hz PWM because its inefficient, worse color and probably lower brightness
PWM should be banned goodness. I don’t want to go through all of that . I just want one without it. Anyhow I just got a new phone so I’ll be keeping it until this nonsense is properly solved
I have Galaxy S7 and Galaxy A15. They don't give a fatigue to my eyes after using it for a long period. But my new Galaxy S23 hurts my eyes so badly after using for just 10 minutes. I checked S7 vs S23. They used different default pwm frequency for same brighness level. Galaxy S7 used lower PWM than Galaxy S23. Is there any relation between their new Dynamic amoled 2x (S23) with eyes fatigue issue? My galaxy s7 and A15, they both using super amoled, works fine for my eyes. This is so annoying. Expensive phone but it harms your eyes.
Only solution I found was to swap out the OLED with an LCD on a used iPhone 13 (or any iPhone.) Makes no sense to buy new if you’re going to remove OEM parts and replace them with third party parts. Outside of faster battery drain it’s been fine. I’d recommend buying the Plus variant to counteract the higher battery drain wish I would have done that.
Love the iPhone 15 but after three weeks I had to go back to the LED IPhone 11, I was in serious agony. Just hope the manufacturers do something about this.
What a the current best smartphones with a good pwm rate? Should I sell my s24 ultra just because of that? The s24 ultra has 480 pwm rate. Is this very bad?
If it does affect you badly then you might have no option to sell it depending on your presence. But you have to move to chinese manufacturers or nothing branded phones. But then overall they are no where as good as Samsung Google or iphones in other areas

@VYM, have you tried enabling the circadian display and setting the night sight to automatic display? I recently conducted a personal experiment, using the Samsung S24U for 15 days and the Honor Magics 6 Pro for another 15 days. Based on my observations, when using the Samsung device between 8:30 PM and 10:30 PM, I experienced difficulty falling asleep after turning it off. My eyes felt strained and dry, and it took me approximately two hours to finally get some rest. However, after switching to the Honor Magic 6 Pro, I noticed a significant improvement in my sleep quality. I was able to fall asleep within 15 to 30 minutes, and sometimes even while using the device itself. In my opinion, this particular device seems to have a positive impact on sleep compared to others. If you prefer not to use a smartphone, I would recommend considering their tablets as a secondary option.
@@Hemanth_321 tried everything. All options. Only Honor 200 and Iqoo Z9 felt little bit better, but still not IPS. So I'll be stuck with my Poco x3 pro till the next IPS display phone is released.
@@JoelsVideoklipp it’s not true, if you measure iPad Air LCD screen it will have 0.5 -1.5 flicker depending on color you are measuring, white will flicker less then blue for example. Meanwhile OLED will have 9.5 - 11.5 for iPhone 13 as example on max brightness. So as I mentioned before there’s no such thing as no flicker screen or PWM free screen.
@@egorkosten LCD often uses backlight dimming methods that can include both PWM and direct current regulation. Direct current regulation adjusts the brightness by varying the power to the backlight, often resulting in a flicker-free experience. On the other hand, OLED displays typically use PWM to control brightness. Since each OLED pixel emits its own light, PWM is commonly used to manage power consumption and brightness levels. OLED avoids varying current for brightness control because it can cause uneven wear on pixels, leading to burn-in issues where static images leave permanent marks. So it have to do a lot with the technology behind LCD and OLED and if direct current regulation can be used or not. And if a LCD is using PWM for the backlight it's a really bad product imo. So.. LCDs are more likely to be PWM-free because they can use direct current regulation for backlighting, while OLED displays often rely on PWM, making them more prone to flicker issues. This makes LCDs generally more suitable for individuals sensitive to screen flicker.

Maybe just for me....but sadly not worked for me the Oled screen...same as the tablet s9 ultra....or s22 ultra....
It’s already feels like placebo effect. Because human eyes can’t see the flicker after 300 hertz and modern iPhones have 480 hertz. You have to be a superhuman or a fly to see that. And if you are PWM sensitive why you have no issues at night on streets that are flickering like crazy? And how you lived with SRT monitors back in a days that had only 75 hertz refresh rate? I think people who are suffering are looking at their phones far to long and feel dizzy after watching short videos all day. Sound like I’m a grandpa but it’s true 😅

My research about the top 2 most safety smartphones for your eyes to use in 2024 has the following conclusion:
1. iPhone 13 - 608 Hz;
2. iPhone 13 pro - 506 Hz;
Also, Nothing phone 1 and Nothing phone 2 are quite gentle for your eyes.
Yes! PWM is Very Bad For Eyes, I used iPhone 13 Just 2 months, i got very eye strain, Headache also, i suddenly sell my iphone and Bought Realme 11 pro plus, 2160 Hz Now safe for my Eyes.. I like Apple but this problem.. Good bye to Apple and Many OLED Screen Androids
How is your experience with Realme now?? Is it giving you headaches??
@@seanpinto7363 No Now Feel free.. 2160 hz really worked..
Hello. things turned out quite interesting for me. almost every new phone gives me a headache and I can't sleep for days... The point is that I have the z fold 5, which many people say is very bad for pwm sensors. I have no problems with the z fold 5 phone... but now comes the interesting part, because I bought the Honor magic v2 phone, which, if I say correctly, uses 3850 pwm, but is completely Oled... well, after 15 minutes from this phone, I have a headache for 3 days... so I think this pwm thing means nothing... especially this blue light /eye care protection... Maybe just for me....but sadly not worked for me the Oled screen...same as the tablet s9 ultra....or s22 ultra....
PWM affects people differently..
blue light can be solved mostly in software, but no way for pwm
Well we need to circulate this idea to more tech people
Samsung has the worst effect.
thx for video, hope for fixing this sh
😬👍
It’s already feels like placebo effect. Because human eyes can’t see the flicker after 300 hertz and modern iPhones have 480 hertz. You have to be a superhuman or a fly to see that. And if you are PWM sensitive why you have no issues at night on streets that are flickering like crazy? And how you lived with SRT monitors back in a days that had only 75 hertz refresh rate? I think people who are suffering are looking at their phones far to long and feel dizzy after watching short videos all day. Sound like I’m a grandpa but it’s true 😅
iPhone and Samsung are the worst offenders in terms of PWM flickering
Thats why im using a nokia phone. And its great.
This guy is showing three phones that don't support PWM dimming.
@harempolnomisia-69iphone 11 and under
OLED is killing your eyes. Threre are less and less phones on LCD screens
Small OLED to be exact. Since larger OLEDs such as TVs and Monitors don’t use PWM.
