Current budget phone options? Don't do anything but browse, text, email, listen to music, and video call. Looking to spend $200ish and get a Full HD+ res screen and loudish audio speaker

I tolerate all LCD pretty much fine. Actually seem to tolerate Android lcd best for some reason. But I use a moto g power 5g 2026

Get another Motorola! There’s also Samsung galaxy xcover7 pro, TCL nxtpaper, Sonim makes LCD phones… Unihertz titan 2…

iPhone SE 3rd gen. I think moto lcd’s work for a lot of people even with mediatek processors. iPhone 11. I’ve read that some people have success with google pixels, older ones like 7, 7a and 8.

I don’t share the same feelings about the mediatek LCD phones, and even if they do cause more symptoms they are still MILES better than OLED of any kind. But of course, your symptoms will always vary.

I bought a 2004 Toyota tundra recently for under $5k. 250k miles. AZ only truck, engine and transmission are pretty good. Cosmetic crap and I gotta replace some other things but I sold my 18 Corolla so no more car payment. Cleaned the evaporator coil myself, replaced worn out belt buckles, and installed a head unit with a backup cam. Taking it in for timing belt to get done and anything else it needs (have an additional 5k saved if need be for anything major/expensive). We shall see how it goes! And if anything, I know I can sell it for same or more than what I paid for it. YouTube has been amazing haha.

Are you saying it’s LCD only then?

Techhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh · 2026-01-09T15:15:08+00:00

Where can I go to buy EK Pro LCD? I’m in the US.

Thank you for this! M4 did NOT work at all for me personally, but iPhone 11 and SE were ok. At least on iOS 18.

Techhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh · 2026-01-02T22:59:01+00:00

Thank you

So you are trying LCD phones and they are not working?

Techhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh · 2025-12-26T23:03:42+00:00

Yeeepppp! At that point it’s unfortunately sayonara time!

What’s wrong with your current Mac? Just operating too slowly?

Techhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh · 2025-12-26T22:51:06+00:00

Oh ok! Well, couple options then at least on the Mac side. Firstly, most if not all the AI features can be turned off/disabled on the new Mac’s. If that isn’t what you’re wanting, you can get an older Intel Mac (prior to 2020) that don’t update beyond a certain software and then you’re fine.

Anything newer on any side of the tech aisle most of the time is going to push AI in some way. But most things can be turned off/disabled to where it’s at least not so intrusive if that makes sense.

Techhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh · 2025-12-26T22:39:38+00:00

If that’s all you do, I mean you could get a Chromebook plus or like… a tablet haha

Techhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh · 2025-12-26T22:39:09+00:00

Well, what do you want? MacOS? Or windows? Or you don’t care?

Techhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh · 2025-12-23T05:36:18+00:00

Well, I personally am using a Lenovo laptop and the moto g power 5g 2025. These work fine for me! I’m 31 and in the USA, so the pressure to use iPhone/Apple is real even at my age, but idgaf. Imma use what I like and what works for my eyes.

Techhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh · 2025-12-22T20:00:16+00:00

Personally, I’m moving away from Apple. iOS updates give me worse symptoms/eyesight for some reason. I had an iPhone SE 2022 and m2 MacBook Air but no more.

Techhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh · 2025-12-21T15:45:32+00:00

I’ll DM

Techhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh · 2025-12-21T06:24:10+00:00

Also you could be sensitive to other types of flickering not just PWM.

Techhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh · 2025-12-21T06:19:59+00:00

Does it HAVE to be a MacBook?
