It's pretty silly to through around credentials.

Here's a video of an OLED TV updating in slow motion. The pixels are on in between updates so it really doesn't matter how fast it's updating it's not going to cause headaches or any of the problems that we used to associate with strobing style displays. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=54E3uUEryZM

Well, on some they aren't.

But yes, TIL that some OLEDs do in fact work continuously thanks to TFTs

That display is using BFI (black frame insertion) which is usually optional to reduce blur.

Oh, my misunderstanding was because didn't know active-matrix (TFT) OLED displays existed, where thin-film transistors (TFTs) keep the pixels on between updates. I know those little 128x64 SPI OLEDs that are passive and driven line-by-line, I don't have a big OLED screen.
