Switch OLED PWM fix?

[larre]

Hey guys! New here...
I was thinking of upgrading from OG to the newer Switch OLED (with hwfly chip), but before buying I realized that the oled screen use pwm.
I always use OLED Saver on Android phones with OLED screens that removes pwm.
Is there a similar fix available for the switch oled?

Thanks!

Are you afraid of burn in?

No it gives me eye strain and headaches. It's very common.
If you're not affected by it, your very lucky.

Oh I didn't know that.

I would actually got to a Elgiganten or Mediamarkt and as if you can see how the screen is for you. I just guess you're Swedish since your nickname. If not, I'm sorry I assumed. But generally just a electronic store and see if you can see if the screen affects you.

How wow... I feel so sorry for people that gets affected by it

100% bright an a dark layer over the screen will help?

 

[larre]

Yeah I've seen that one. The frequencies are very low as well so the issue is likely bigger than usual.

That's exactly how OLED Saver for Android phones work.

Yes I'm swedish. I live pretty far from all of these stores so it's not possible I'm afraid.

I've asked some happy hackers in a group that makes some homebrew for the Switch. I'll see if they can give any ideas.

Oh rats... Elgiganten have atleast so you could ship it back, same with NetOnNet.

I would guess it won't work. But if someone with the oled model could try?
You can easily see and measure the pwm with your phone. Put the camera app in manual model and adjust the shutter speed to the frequencies you see in the YouTube clip, you should see the same banding as in that clip.

That's very kind of you, thanks!
