  • Does the Steam Deck use PWM for the screen? Does the screen flicker?
  • While gaming, is there some kind of screen tearing or is there some kind of VRR/Freesync being used? Otherwise, what settings do you use to avoid screen tearing (FPS locking, etc.)?

Thanks!

The Deck uses PWM. I'm one of those unfortunate few that ends up feeling nauseous when using 40Hz. I don't notice the flickering directly, but 10 minutes of gaming or so and my head is spinning. I don't get the same issue at 45Hz or higher.

Good to know. Thank you! Does it change with brightness?
