"If physical brightness of your iPhone 11 or 11 Max display remains at 50% setting or higher, there will be no PWM flickering either;"

Using DC Dimming to Stop PWM Flickering in iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Max, Google Pixel 4 and 4 XL

Just like the previous generation of OLED-equipped iPhones, the iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Max both employ OLED panels that are prone to flickering that is particularly visible to those with sensitive eyes. The flickering is caused by PWM (Pulse Width Modulation), a technology used by OLED manufacturers

"The display backlight flickers at 290.7 Hz (Likely utilizing PWM) Flickering detected at a brightness setting of 99 % and below. There should be no flickering or PWM above this brightness setting."

What i want to know is which article is true?

I think both are true. I know Notebookcheck and they measure everything in immense detail - it's right that the backlight flickers around 291 Hz. The question is if it is noticeable though - and I'd say Elcomsoft means that there's no noticeable PWM flickering above 50 % or higher brightness.

Just because eyes can't perceive it, it doesn't mean it's not there - looking at you, infrared.

Hi MandiMac,

"Just because eyes can't perceive it, it doesn't mean it's not there - looking at you, infrared."

Yes, you are right. I actually only care about the problems like eye strain, headache that OLED screens cause. I think whether it is noticable or not It has the potential for causing the problems i mentioned.

I think I'll buy iPhone 11.

Thank you for your comment.

Thank you for your comment.

You're welcome! I am still on the iPhone 8+ with its LCD screen and can't really discern a difference to my wife's X with its OLED screen in normal use. Only with Dark mode on at night there's a visible difference. I think you'll be so happy with an iPhone 11

thanks.
the Elcomsoft article on PWM and how to try to decrease its impacts, is one of the best written, easy to understand, articles i have read on this topic.
