    I am not sensitive to PWM, however it still concerns me if there are long term effects of low-frequency (220 Hz) PWM that can harm eyesight. There's a device I really like which has all the features I want and 3:2 aspect ratio, but screen uses 220Hz PWM - and there are other devices, which also have features I want yet less interesting 16:9 display ratios, and cost a few hundred $ more. One of my current devices has PWM and I have no problems with it - but I am selling it, and can't make a buying decision, leaning towards more expensive PWM-free devices just to be on the safe side. Would appreciate any advice.
