In this note, I will describe all the settings you need to tweak to get a 100% flicker-free, eye-friendly result on your smartphone. However, some settings are quite extreme and you don’t need to apply all of them, such as the monochrome filter or setting extremely high warm values on the color temperature slider. PWM flickering is a “feature” of most digital displays at relatively low brightness levels that can cause eye strain and headaches.

UPDATED ON: 2024-09-07 Internet is swarming with instructions on how to do this in a proper way, but all of them are incomplete and it looks like the authors don’t care much and don’t put enough effort into making them really shine, so i decided to fix that confusion and write my own, uber one. Computer user ergonomics is a really complex thing, so I split the FAQ into several sections for better readability and understanding.
