I cannot use the LCD iPads of recent years so I'm likely sensitive to dithering.
Got a tip for us?

Has anyone tried using different 16 pros but with different manufacturers like lg, Samsung for instance?
TCL is supposed to be best for the eyes.

Unfortunately not available in US except with one or two regional carriers.
I am going to do one last experiment. I haven’t used the LCD replacement screen for OLED iPhones, iFixit is selling. So i ordered one for iPhone 14….
iPhone 16E

"A "raw panel serial number GVH" typically refers to a serial number associated with a display panel manufactured by LG Display, where "GVH" is a code signifying a specific production line or panel type within their manufacturing process. "

Mine is GVH44342BFR1501AX so mine is also an LG screen.
Going to try the double invert recommendation from the ledstrain forum:

Does anybody know a list with all the serial numbers to identify the manufacturer of a screen? I only found some Samsung and LG serial numbers, but mine (from iPhone 16) starts with J5V and is nowhere listed. Only found one comment on reddit this might be a BOE screen.
DXOMARK measured that less than 20% of the population would perceive the flicker from iPhone 16 Pro Max.
Still, that’s an incredibly high statistic implying that over 10% of the population would be affected.
PWM measurements are becoming more mainstream, yet there’s no solution.

Something strange happening to me...
I've never had any problems with any type of display (TFT, LCD, OLED, etc.). My previous iPhones 14, 15 and current 16 Pro were absolutely fine for me.
However...
I recently got a MacBook Air M3 and it gives me a headache after ~30 minutes of use. I also use various Windows laptops for hours at a time during the day and have no problems with them.
What kind of magic is Apple doing...

If the methodology used to determine that figure is unknown, not sure how much stock I'd place into it.
Unfortunately it appears they don't have results for the iPhone X (guessing that device predates their current testing methodology). Trying to get relative comparisons here.
Two options
- Try turning off font smoothing https://www.fontsmoothingadjuster.com
- Switch to sRGB color profile in the display settings
