I think the display on the Samsung looks too cartoonish and overblown, but that's the trend, un-natural colors etc. I suspect people that like that look are the same folks posting their hdr photos on FB and turning their televisions video to the vivid or action preset and leave it there 😉

That's really.. Wrong.

What is so desirable in "natural" colors? What ARE natural colors? OLED simply looks better in any possible metric to vast majority of people. No way around it.

Also, curious what is exactly wrong with HDR photos on FB? Should i just turn of HDR every time I thing I MIGHT one day publish this on FB?

Also, there actually are television sets where vivid does look more legible. Go figure.

There are people in world who are curious how things work.

But this is a ridiculous usecase to hold against OLED screens. Nobody will do this in real life so it's moot.

I'm just explaining how it works. It's entirely possible some fraction of people are sensitive to it, though at 240hz I suspect a number are conflating it for something else. My samsung tv for example is 120hz below a certain threshold and even though I can't see it directly it causes strain after a few min.

Thanks for explaining it.

What are the symptoms of this eyestrain? Tears? Actual physical pain? Problems with focus? Genuinely curious, because perhaps sometimes i might have it, but credit it to something else..

I get a mild headache around the front side of the head. Not unbearable but uncomfortable enough that it's definitely off the cards. On my TV which I actually use as a monitor, it starts pulsing below 15/20 on the brightness setting, with increasing "depth" to the off periods towards 0/20. I just set it at 15 and use warmer temp controls (esp f.lux) to help mitigate brightness.
