Other This is why I will not buy iPhone 12: OLED = PWM
I just hate how Apple is not understanding How serious is the argument here. They still use OLED displays that use PWM to modulate brigtness, and so they flicker! 30/40% OLED Smartphone Owner's are claiming infact, eyestrain, headhace, nausea, dizziness, motion sickness, that is mainly caused by... -
Other Why some of us are worried about an all OLED iPhone lineup.
So you may have come across the 3 letters PWM among these various forums when people discuss the OLED iPhones and the rumour that the 12 series will all be OLED based. Some of you wonder why some of us make a big deal of it because you can’t see it or it doesn’t effect you, well I have a video... -

Have someone made the switch because off eye strain?
Had terrible eye Strain on XS. Bought the 11 because of the LCD, the strain wasn’t as bad as with the XS, but there was also pain in my eyes and also felt a bit nausea when I used it. Also I didnt like the design with the notch und the heavy and plump feeling of the device. So I gave it back and...- Rollomat93

iPhone 11 Pro PWM on iPhone 11 Pro?
I’m not getting the effects of PWM when I check out the 11 Pro models at the Apple Store. Even after a few seconds of looking at the X or XS I can feel a stab of (mild) pain at the back of my eyes. Q: Is anyone else experiencing this? I know that the screens have changed with the 11 Pro -... -

iPhone 11 Pro iPhone 11 Pro (Max) - PWM - Eye Strain
Hi, whoever gets his new iPhone 11 Pro first... Could you be so kind and check how the new phones handle dimming the OLED display? I would love to buy one of the new phones but I tested the X and the XS and both gave me headaches. Thanks -
iPhone XS What If PWM Doesn't Cause Eyestrain?
What do you guys think of this excerpt from the notebook check iPhone XS review: "The XS uses pulse-width modulation (PWM) to regulate brightness control, which is common for OLED displays. We measured the PWM frequency at 240 Hz, which is relatively low. Equally, the amplitude curve is so...- BigBen2493

Other PWM survey
I'm curious about the characteristics of those who suffer from noticing PWM (pulse width modulation) on OLED screens vs those who don't. Would anyone care to answer these questions? 1. Do you notice PWM, and if so, under what conditions? 2. What OLED screen do you own, or have experienced PWM...- BostonQuad

iPhone XR Am I the only one who prefers the XR screen over the X/XS?
Hi all. So I’ve been into my local carrier store to have yet another look at the iPhone XR as I am planning to trade in my X for an XR in January when my contract allows. Now I’ve looked at the screens of the X and the XR closely and I’ve gotta say I actually prefer the Xr’s Screen over my... -
iPhone X The iPhone X is using AMOLED, so what is the PWM frequency?
The iPhone is using the AMOLED, just like the Samsung. And Samsung's smartphone are using the PWM method to adjust the brightness of the screen, and with a rather low frequency about 240Hz~250Hz, and this makes many customers complain about the 'eye strain problem'. So did anyone down the PWM...- thinkcatgame

Has Apple just improved the PWM frequency in latest macOS 10.12.4?
My eyes now feel MUCH MUCH more comfortable with my MacBook pro retina, very surprised. The gamma is set to 1.3(from the default 2.2) to soften the black contrast and night shift is on, but I doubt that contribute much to the cause, I have a feeling that Apple finally increased the "Hz's" of...- keynode1
