Not entirely sure but I think OLED pixels modulate brightness with PWM, which causes high frequency (though invisible) flickering.

- murderberry 3y agoLCDs have PWM-dimmed backlights, so if your laptop isn't set to maximum brightness, you're probably staring at a flickering surface too. Perhaps a simpler explanation is just contrast? Both OLEDs and CRTs can produce much higher contrast than LCDs.

- xioxox 3y agoThe PWM frequency is typically much higher for LCDs than OLEDs, if it is used, and much less likely to be a problem.
