Comment by formerly_proven | original | The MacBook Pro's OLED PWM Problem: When a 'Better' Display Becomes Worse to Use

If you go in a dark room and set the brightness of an OLED phone to minimum and then just swing it around in front of your eyes you're very likely to see a stroboscopic effect. For iPhones this seems to become noticeable below about 20-30% brightness.

I guess I’m not sensitive to it as I did not have this happen. iPhone 16 pro.
