I'm using a 16inch mini led m1 MacBook pro and a 12.9inch miniled iPad pro, the MacBook is fine to my eyes , but using the iPad always make my eye tired and dry, I had to set reduce white point to 50% or less and enable reduce motion to lock in 60hz,
anybody has the same experience? I think its due to the poor display panel in this iPad, yes it has a great contrast ratio, "XDR tech", it can achieve 120hz but when moving fast the retention in the image is very poor quality(I don't know the exact term), and make my eye tired

I've had similar experience, not necessarily with the iPad or MacBook and I got some of those blue light filtering glasses and it seems to help.

Possibly caused by PWM (flickering), maybe I’m totally wrong.
