I'm someone who's fairly sensitive to PWM. Have tried and returned iPhones, Pixels, and similar. Steam's OLED doesn't bother me. I think it's the same screen as the Switch OLED which also doesn't bother me. Wish Apple and Google would buy from that supplier.

But in general you're correct. When given a choice, I'll generally buy IPS when I can.

Apple and Google could do something about it if they wanted, even without changing supplier. They clearly don't think it's worth it. That's not surprising coming from Google but I admit I am surprised that Apple has no driver option to reduce flicker.

Most Chinese phone makers nowadays offer settings to reduce OLED flicker greatly, usually at the cost of color accuracy and/or a locked framerate.
