  Conventional LCD screens flicker at the rate of 200 times per second. Your eyes may not see the flickers but they can certainly feel them.

  I call bullshit. Feel them how? Citation? Room lights flicker at 100Hz. 60Hz is perceivable at the periphery.

  However, I'd expect any good quality monitor to use voltage reg rather than PWM on the LED backlights, if only for energy efficiency.

    This is TN panel. Not sure if they match up to VA panels for reading comfort. I am no expert in this by the way.

  Flicker Free?

  This sounds like marketing bs.

    But its the truth. All major manufacturers are moving to PWM free product ranges.

      "PWM free" - haha, fear-based marketting, preying on the gullible, like the "fat-free" labels on lollies.

      Lots of weasel words in that article like "has been linked to" - the same sort of BS you see in anti-vaccination websites.

      PWM has its problems, but flicker is not one of them, certainly not at 200 Hz. e.g. you may get audible interference.
      Monitor flicker was a real thing in the CRT days, as many PCs ran at 60Hz, which is OK for TVs but not when you sit close to a monitor.

      BTW, if you don't want PWM, just turn the monitor brightness up to max.

        There's Dell LED monitors that suffer from noticeable PWM flicker even on maximum brightness.
        I know what the features "low blue light", " flicker free" and "true 8 bit colour" mean to me. That's it minimises messing with your sleep asnd eye health, doesn't flicker on any brightness level, and can truly reproduce 8 bit colour without dithering or FRAC further messing with the image.

        PWM backlights I think would flicker at a much higher rate than 200hz and can have the same effect as how people get headaches from certain fluorescent lights.

        @chyawala:
        Noticable how? When you wave your hand in front?

        I'd much rather higher-res, as the pixels are very visible. Why do my phone and tablet have more pixels than my monitor?

        PWM backlights I think would flicker at a much higher rate than 200hz

        200 I believe is the minimum. More makes it even less perceptible.

        and can have the same effect as how people get headaches from certain fluorescent lights.

        You mean the same imaginary ones documented in "wellness" magazines?

        Actually, there is a real syndrome associated with lighting and migrane, but it has nothing to do with flicker.

        @manic:
        Mate no one is forcing anyone here to buy any monitor with certain features.
        The link above is for evidence regarding PWM, and the site is well regarded as an authority on comprehensive reviews of monitors. If you can link to evidence to better support your claims, or perhaps qualifications on this topic we can better understand the the facts and and general accepted scientific consenus regarding this.

        @chyawala:
        I don't believe in "appeal to authority" arguments. And it is the people making unorthodox claims who need to provide evidence. Am sceptical because the flicker is imperceptible to human beings, and have heard a lot of unfounded BS about floro lights that sounds similar.
        In contrast, the evidence for flicker related stress from 60Hz CRTs was very clear, and I assume that is where this fear originates.

      Can I get free range too?

        I can see the marketing people are developing the technology (language) around 'Organic crystals'…

        A good solution to the PWM issue (if there is one) is to turn the backlight down/off and avoid burning your eyes out using the damn thing.

  I need something with a display ports :( 24in+. I like my current monitors but I am having to use DVi and HDMI.

    Can't you buy adaptors for this?

      Yes, but the connection is playing up.
