Interesting it seems hard to find any research that concludes 240hz or higher frequency flicker causes physical discomfort. Is there a single paper that concludes this? Older studies were based on ~100hz fluorescent lighting.
In a rigorous blinded comparison, would the new OLED MacBook cause more physical discomfort than the mini-LED model? How to explain all the symptoms being experienced?
What’s most likely?
1. Real MacBook hardware issue
2. Nocebo. Expectation of PWM problems > real physical symptoms
3. False correlation. Real headaches/eyestrain but from other causes
How surprising would it be if the answer is not (1)?
