Lots of laptops and OLED phones flicker in low brightness, using this actually make it worse as your eyes strains quickyly from the combined effect, at least for me.

I'm currently using Iris Pro in max brightness, in which the display doesn't need to flicker, the software still can dim the screen itself.

Do OLED displays flicker? I thought it happens only with LED backlight panels that were dimmed using PWM, which was quite unpleasant when I switched from a CCFL one.

Most OLED displays use PWM, as the color dots are hard to control, PWM has no issue in this regard.
