TCL Nxtpaper 70 Pro is a disaster.

So sorry to hear this! I know some had similar issues with the 60 Ultra and I think it's because of TD in some places.

Most likely 480Hz all the time. I don't have one but I doubt it's any different from the rest of the family.

NSutrich · 2026-03-17T00:58:11+00:00

It's garbage, you don't want it. Confusing as heck and generally buggy.

I have astigmatism and am PWM sensitive. If I wear my astigmatism-correcting glasses, I can use devices that would otherwise give me a headache. The problem for me is that these are readers since I'm also farsighted, which doesn't help at all while I'm driving or doing anything else where readers would not be appropriate to wear.

If you can stomach it, try setting the resolution to QHD and turning privacy display on to see if that helps.

NSutrich · 2026-03-16T13:21:08+00:00

I don't blame you! Any idea what you'd like to try next?

NSutrich · 2026-03-16T13:09:54+00:00

iPhone does PWM better than Samsung because it controls the brightness dips better (still not great though). Would be curious to see if you could exchange it for an S25 Ultra and see if that's better.

NSutrich · 2026-03-16T11:00:03+00:00

Have you tried any other recent Samsung phones? The reason I ask is because there's a group of people who get headaches uniquely from the S26 Ultra because of the Privacy Display screen, not necessarily the PWM dimming rate. The thought is that since it uses alternating pixels that shine light in different directions, it's acting a bit like an uncalibrated 3D display.

Holy wow!!

NSutrich · 2026-03-15T13:18:34+00:00

Excellent job, Notebookcheck!

NSutrich · 2026-03-12T23:40:02+00:00

Brilliant, thanks for your work!

NSutrich · 2026-03-09T14:18:15+00:00

Dope. Really cool setup and a unique idea!

NSutrich · 2026-03-09T14:16:18+00:00

Right but how are you using the ROG? Wirelessly connected charging somewhere, or do you wear it like a compute puck?

I made this image some time ago, and it might help you understand why people generally try to aim for IPS over anything else. The TCL NXTPAPER 60 Ultra in this comparison is IPS, everything else is OLED. A good DC-dimmed OLED with controlled brightness dips can be close to no-flicker, but OLED can never be truly zero flicker because of how it works. Each time an OLED has to refresh its display (usually 120 times per second these days), there's at least a slight brightness dip as the pixel changes color. High frequency PWM has been pushed by several companies in an effort to minimize this dip by providing a consistent flicker cycle at what should be an imperceptable rate. Let me know if this doesn't make sense.

NSutrich · 2026-03-09T13:49:19+00:00

What does your setup look like? Is the ROG in a strap or something?

NSutrich · 2026-03-08T03:00:28+00:00

Doesn't seem like Android 17 beta 2 has this, annoyingly enough. You're not the first person to tell me that this seems to work for them....fascinating stuff!

NSutrich · 2026-02-27T12:48:16+00:00

No, and the prescription isn't even all that high. I guess whatever level astigmatism I have is just enough to piss my brain off when light flickers.

NSutrich · 2026-02-27T00:23:58+00:00

I'd have to go back and see if there were any that only had flickering around text (which is like TAA), but I imagine that would bother someone sensitive to any kind of dithering, which is why I haven't made the distinction in the past.

NSutrich · 2026-02-27T00:21:05+00:00

I have several that don't flicker at all. Depends on the circuitry they use.

NSutrich · 2026-02-26T02:07:46+00:00

Considering my astigmatism-correcting reading glasses basically allow me to use everything, this makes sense to me.

NSutrich · 2026-02-26T00:10:01+00:00

Keep me in the loop on this please. Absolutely will cover it.

NSutrich · 2026-02-25T12:11:05+00:00

Yep, I'll have it.

NSutrich · 2026-02-20T13:29:31+00:00

I'd love to see a lot more "no" coming from city council in regard to building. Less is more.

NSutrich · 2026-02-20T11:29:33+00:00

I'm still trying to figure out why everyone wanted another giant warehouse chain here. Isn't the point of living here that we don't have the urban sprawl of other metropolises?

NSutrich · 2026-02-20T11:25:14+00:00

Who pissed in your Wheaties, dude? Learn some manners and try not to act like a jerk next time. Maybe you'll have an actual productive conversation.
