i know it's probably an off topic and i'm not sure where to publish my question, so i'll try it anyway.
I recently bought my 3rd laptop after returning the other two, because i couldn't handle the screen and i suspect that i probably have sensative eyes. Unfortunately I have no idea what's the problem and I can't determine exactly to what I'm sensitive. I'm a student so I got to have the laptop with me all the time, but sadly no matter what I feel like I'm ruining my eyes in the process. I think to send this one back or to replace the screen but first I'm trying to figure out what's the problem.
I had 2 IPS fhd anti-glare and 1 AHVA fhd anti-glare. All panels considered to be good (high brightness, color gamut, contrast. Besides I only know that the refresh rate was 60hz).
My fix complaint is that I see haze and blur that are unbearable in low brightness levels. I also notice the AG coating which is grainy (I can almost see black tiny dots all over the screen + all over shiny tiny dots in colors. Sometimes I see like an horizontal rainbow ladder).
I did the ufo pwm test and apparently the screen uses pwm (unknown frequency) in all brightness levels.
The only thing that helped so far was to reduce the contrast and to reduce the brightness to minimum in intel graphics. but this only help partially because I still have the screen on brightness levels that are too high. Otherwise I get the horrible haze/blur when I set the screen to lower brightness levels.
Any ideas on what is going on?

Not being funny, but the first thing you should do is get your eyes checked. It could be your eyes and not the screen.

yea, i did that already. i fricked out because i started noticing annoying "floaters" and i felt that it got worse since i got this laptop about a month ago. besides i have good eye vision.
i think that it is something in the panels becuase i recently had an au optronics (probably ahva) that was great, so i think that i'm just overly sensitive.
right now my one and only guess is that it's related to the anti glare coating, (because the only thing that helped with the haze and blur was reducing the contrast and brightness in intel graphic). i'm trying to realize if there's anything else that might cause haze and blur on normal brightness levels (combining with the fact that the screen is grainy and there's pwm). -
Glad to hear. if you can pin point the last PC you had that the screen worked for your eyes, I'd say go get it.

maybe in the future. sadly it was the dell e5570, but it has an annoying coil whine. i don't know about any other models that uses the AU screen from dell e5570.
it's also almost imposible where i live to find the exact model with the exact screen, because the manufacturers implament different panels so it's like a lottery. no show rooms either.
so my only way is to try and figure out this problem.
if it's only haze, maybe i can try and aim for semi anti-glare screen.
