Oh yes the actual LCD panel will make a difference. Yes, that would explain it. But I had a Dell Latitutde Laptop and after researching I found that the manufacturer would either use LG or AOC panels (both were IPS) for the exact same model. People reported PWM flickering with the LG but not with the AOC panel, so I purchased an AOC Panel (IPS) for 80 euros and with the help of my partner we replaced the panel very carefully. It made no difference. So as you say it has to be exactly the same model, so there might be other components that might be contributing to this.
I have so much trouble with the new keyboards on the laptops, they don't have much travel. I prefer the older laptops with nicer keyboards.
Have you tried IRIS on your laptop?

I had a go a few years ago, and it didnt work for me. BUT I made a fundamental mistake running this software, I did not set the brightness at 100% on the laptop. So I think the brightness is then controlled by IRIS software which allegedly reduces the PWM. Worth trying out.
I also wear computer glasses (cheaper alternative to Gunnars) and they help to some extent.
So I will have retry the IRIS software on Macbook Pro (retina 2013) and four other old laptops I own to see if it works. I must say I am intrigued about running this on the Onyx Nova too. I will report back in a few hours or a day.

First I discovered that the laptop should look the same and have the same capabilities but there are several component makers so you never know which maker delivered which components in your unit. It doesn't matter really for most of the things but indeed people are complaining about the keyboard or screen quality. Then I have found that a software can read the exact part number of the LCD in the laptop. Searching for it I have found threads discussing the PWM by unhappy owners. Well, it's quite expensive laptop from a good brand, that's the time we're living in, quality doesn't come with the price by default, my mistake  |
