No, Andrew, if your proficiency in reading was as good as in bashing, you would by now understand that NEC DID NOT SUGGEST THAT USING A DIFFERENT LUMINANCE LEVEL IS A FIX. Get it now? Here is what they said verbatim: "If possible could you try calibrating the monitor at 95cd/m and at 115cd/m and see if the flickering still happens?
Clearly that's not a suggestion Franz... not.
They just made up a range of cd/m2 values, asked you to try them, then asking IF the flickering still happens (which it didn't). But it wasn't
their idea that perhaps suggesting these values might stop the flickering, this week there's a blue moon and maybe that occurrence along with a differing cd/m2 within a range of 95cd/m and at 115cd/m would stop the so called flickering which it did. But no, NEC DID NOT SUGGEST THAT USING A DIFFERENT LUMINANCE LEVEL IS A FIX, the flickering stopped due to the tin foil hat?
We've been over this before. You have to now drag LuLa and PhotoNet into this witch hunt (

Worth repeating what I just wrote on that other site:
I'm going to call this
deja vu or,
why those who refuse to study history are destined to repeat it. Or better:
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.Way back in 2013, we had to slog thorough this with Franz, he asked a question, got these answers below. Now he's back. deja vu.

It is reported that some people see flicker or experience eye strain or headaches when working with LED backlit monitors.
Here's my question: have you experienced any of these issues - flicker, eye strain or headaches - when using an LED backlit monitor and if so, which monitor did you use and do you know by any chance the pulse width modulation frequency?

Nope, none at all

My inexpensive ViewSonic LED backlit monitor has been very easy on the eyes.

The only difference I saw between switching from my CCFL backlit 22" Dell 2209WA to my current 27" LED LG 27ea63vp is that the bigger screen's wider line of sight reduces the adaptive effect caused by the differences of the darker surround which was more prominent with the Dell due to its smaller screen area
The LG is quite uniform causing very little fatigue.

No.

I've used a 23" LG IPS backlit monitor for about three years, and have had no problems whatsoever with eyestrain, fatigue or flicker.
So here we go again. This time we're supposed to believe the request for your data points on flickering, specifically for "
NEC monitors" (not his specific model, just NEC in general) is some how going to aid Franz in adding NEC (as if they really need this). Maybe he should concentrate on just fixating and fixing his unit(s) first, rather than going on a fishing expedition again.
Not sure what his agenda is.
