Picked up a LG C3 yesterday. This is going to sound weird.. But I think I feel something, but it also could be nothing as im trying/looking for a problem. I have the LG diagnostic remote being delivered today via amazon. Going to change some settings in there that supposed to help with the consistency of the screen I here..LG OLED TVs don't use PWM. They do flicker one horizontal line to prevent burn-in, but it's absolutely not the same as PWM that Apple is using. You should have zero issues with an LG OLED TV.
Switch to the Calibrated Dark mode. I also would not use HDR. Turn off any smooth motion features as well. Enjoy your new C3! It's fantastic. I've owned quite a few of these 65-inch LG OLEDs due to real estate deals. They are the best.Picked up a LG C3 yesterday. This is going to sound weird..

I can say this screen is beautiful and the tv monitor route is the way to go. This is coming from someone who had 2 49" curved monitors.
I don't like to diluting any experiences but back and neck tension from looking at your phone can lead to long holding tension headache which have nothing to do with Pulse Width Modulation.
This is absolutely due to PWM, and I’m glad that we were able to isolate that in 2017.If it was as simple as that I'm not sure this thread would have 424 pages dating back 7 years.
Once iPhone SE switches over to OLED, is Apple going to just give up on its PWM-sensitive customers?My suspicion is that OLED screen technology has plateaued and there isn’t much more they can do to make these flicker monsters less problematic.
Micro-LED isn’t going to happen (likely in our lifetime) and LCD ain’t coming back — so it’s going to be flickering OLED screens from here on out — is my guess.
I don’t believe the iPhone 16 will be better than the iPhone 15. Apple is very slow with innovation and adapting new technology. And they have to rely on Samsung for their screens. The S24 came out and it isn’t better than the iPhone 15pm. The Chinese manufacturers are figuring it out. The honor looks like a very promising phone. So apple might catch up with this technology with the 17/18 lineup. Maybe even the 19.Once iPhone SE switches over to OLED, is Apple going to just give up on its PWM-sensitive customers?
Or… continue innovating and be the first manufacturer, finally, with modern flicker-free OLED panels?
I already know if there are no significant changes made one day I’ll have to either put up with migraines or find an alternative to having a modern smartphone.
For some prior history, the first MacBooks with LED displays were released in 2008 and were infamous for introducing many people to the PWM issue (see *that* ancient Apple forum thread). But by ~2010 Apple quietly switched to a different backlight controller that (if I recall) utilized constant current dimming above 50% and switched to ~100KHz PWM below and fewer people had issues with it. Of course with an industry wide awareness of this issue there is both an opportunity for differentiation of products (i.e marketing) and potential empirical research to be conducted to back it up.Once iPhone SE switches over to OLED, is Apple going to just give up on its PWM-sensitive customers?
Nothing I've seen leads me to believe it will be any better. We can always hope, but when the only update I see is "more efficient OLED" I just think more PWM.I’m certainly ready to upgrade to an iPhone 16 Pro in five months. It will be disappointing if it’s exactly the same as all previous generations.
2015 was when I first used an iPhone. It was given to me. I hated them for some irrational reason even though I didn’t have one. So now I did.
I never wanted one and never missed one. I had a flip phone and it was plenty.
It took me a long time for me to stop despising my new to me iPhone. I really didn’t like it at all.
After a long period- several months, I got kind of used to its horrible OS and accepted it for what it was.
Now it doesn’t bother me the same way anymore though I frequently say out loud - god I hate iPhone.
iPhones are totally not necessary. They are an addictive toy. I can’t say that I’m any happier now than when before I used one. My life was actually definitely a lot BETTER not using one.
So consider that. I think everyone whose continually whining about iPhone usage pain is addicted to them (easy to do) and the ROOT problem isn’t eyestrain…. It’s iPhone addiction.
Face up to it. These things are definitely toxic.
