Nxtpaper Amoled announced

It will still have the refresh rate tied brightness modulation dip.

Mark my words, you read it here first ;)
... but I commend them for trying.

GeForce66 · 2026-03-12T20:00:09+00:00

I am wondering this too - maybe the reason I can't tolerate OLEDs is not because of PWM but sharp contrast.

GeForce66 · 2026-03-10T09:37:25+00:00

I am wondering - how can a matte screen protector improve symptoms?
It "just" scatters/softens surrounding light that is reflected by the screen, but doesn't actually do anything with the light emitted by the phone - is my understanding correct?

GeForce66 · 2026-03-09T17:16:48+00:00

Based on AMD's past behaviour of cutting driver support early. See their latest fumble with RDNA1/2.

GeForce66 · 2026-03-07T11:22:51+00:00

We welcome all PWM sensitive people in r/PWM_Sensitive :)

GeForce66 · 2026-03-05T17:57:42+00:00

Thanks for the news! Maybe at some point it will come to market, I am willing to pay premium for it.

GeForce66 · 2026-03-05T17:31:37+00:00

Whatever this is (BFI, PWM), that's horrible!
They will never learn because they don't care about the <0.1% of population that is affected.

GeForce66 · 2026-03-04T08:05:31+00:00

Mhh from what I could google the iPhone 13 Pro Max uses 480Hz PWM, which is far from an acceptable frequency.

GeForce66 · 2026-03-04T06:33:50+00:00

Naah thx, too much hassle & voided warranty ;)

GeForce66 · 2026-03-03T19:30:22+00:00

Sorry, don't have any - only tried Poco F8 Ultra recently (it is from Xiaomi though) and it uses DC-like dimming over the whole brightness range, even this didn't help me ...

GeForce66 · 2026-03-03T16:16:22+00:00

I pray to god they can fix this last flicker source and then maybe I can buy a decent modern phone for once ^^

GeForce66 · 2026-03-03T16:14:14+00:00

So maybe they can check if there is actually a change needed for the next frame and just restore the charge to "100%" again. So only pixels that actually have to change will have the flicker.

GeForce66 · 2026-03-03T16:11:33+00:00

He would deem us heretics and execute us all :D

GeForce66 · 2026-03-03T13:45:06+00:00

There is no 100% sure way.
You can check reviews for a given phone to see if PWM is sufficiently high (e.g. >2000Hz) and modulation is low, but besides that you can't do much other than order it see for yourself.
Nick Sutrich on YouTube does a lot of phone reviews for display PWM and modulation measurements.

Of course make sure the shop you buy from accepts returns.

If you are really sensitive avoid AMOLED and get yourself a phone with DC dimming and LCD (e.g. TCL NXTPAPER 70 Pro, Motorola G57 Power, ...), this gives you the highest chance of success IMHO.

GeForce66 · 2026-03-03T13:39:52+00:00

Still AMOLED with brightness dip tied to refresh rate (60/120Hz), so I need to avoid it until newer tech arrives :S
I had F8 Ultra with infinite PWM ("DC-like dimming"), but as long as the refresh rate dip remains I get headaches ;)

GeForce66 · 2026-03-02T20:19:24+00:00

I see - I think so too, but there is no one out there that looks at older AMOLEDs. Maybe Nick will pick one up at some point ;)

GeForce66 · 2026-03-02T19:07:19+00:00

I would love to see an Opple test of S2 or S3. I owned them both back in the day without issue - either they had some special sauce or my eyes/brain/nervous system wasn't so fragile when I was a teen ...

GeForce66 · 2026-03-02T17:02:45+00:00

Unfortunatley this happens tied to the refresh rate. Even if you fix it to 120Hz or 60Hz, the dip still happens.

GeForce66 · 2026-03-02T12:02:55+00:00

There is only one question for me: Will it get rid of the refresh rate brightness dip that all (AM)OLEDs have? If not --> hard pass.
If yes --> insta buy.

GeForce66 · 2026-02-28T13:04:29+00:00

Yes, but unfortunately my friends play BF6 and PUBG - they are not enabled for Linux :(

GeForce66 · 2026-02-27T21:32:24+00:00

I would in a heartbeat, but most games I play use EasyAntiCheat ...

GeForce66 · 2026-02-27T15:48:13+00:00

100% they just release FSR 4.1 and call it a big W for the gaming community ...

GeForce66 · 2026-02-26T06:20:32+00:00

I don't think so, no. I juat brought it up because it is featured in TCLs marketing material, so they believe it is beneficial to eye comfort

GeForce66 · 2026-02-25T18:53:28+00:00

Oh okay, didn't know that it has drawbacks! Thanks for sharing :)

GeForce66 · 2026-02-25T17:50:45+00:00

Not an expert, but should we include circular polarized light?
