    Hi there, I am considering the UX305 and had a few questions about the display.

    1. Reviews show that the FHD display shows PWM flickering at 25% brightness and less.
    2. The QHD+ version does not seem to be reviewed for PWM by anyone that I found.

    Given that information,

    I wanted to know if anyone had any information about :

    1. What is brightness value of the screen at the lowest brightness setting and up to 25%? If possible on an android phone, could you please rest the front facing camera on the screen and use this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bti.lightMeter&hl=en to mention what values you see in lux. I'm mentioning that app for consistency, if you have another preference please feel free to use that (and let me know).

    2. Does anyone know of any reviews that mention PWM in the qhd+ display? IS this the same display used in other Zenbooks that may be reviewed?

    3. Does anyone know the model numbers for the FHD and the QHD+ panels?

    Thank you.

    I guess the QHD+ panel is Samsung SDC374A. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
    FHD : AU Optronics B133HAN02.1.
