Does it use PWM or DC-Dimming? (Don't see it mentioned at a quick glance)

  It really shouldn't matter as long as the frequency is high enough (>2000Hz). On their 1st gen laptop it seems seamless to the point where I can't tell (if it's DC or not).

    Thanks for sharing. The high frequency doesn't seem to matter (example newer Macbooks). Unsure additional parameters like temporal dithering play a role.

    Some Hackernews have slomovision and are sensitive to flickering even at frequencies high enough that you'd think it wouldn't matter.

  For what it's worth, the three most similar models from BOE all use DC dimming: https://www.panelook.com/NE160QDM-NYC_BOE_16.0_LCM_overview_59277.html https://www.panelook.com/NE160QDM-NYC_BOE_16.0_LCM_overview_... https://www.panelook.com/NE160QDM-NY3_BOE_16.0_LCM_overview_51262.html https://www.panelook.com/NE160QDM-NY3_BOE_16.0_LCM_overview_... https://www.panelook.com/NE160QDM-NY3_BOE_16.0_LCM_overview_51262.html https://www.panelook.com/NE160QDM-NY3_BOE_16.0_LCM_overview_... In fact it seems that most every single one of these newer high refresh rate 1440p/1600p laptop panels does, I couldn't find a single pwm one.

    That is very good to hear!
