agree
I agree with his opinion

It flickers in dim lighte
In dim brightness, while reading a book, when i move the page, the screen starts to Flickr, its abit annoying but managable, dont know if its normal or a malfunction

I'm coming from Nexus 6 which in my opinion had a very good minimum brightness. I used it for nighttime reading a lot because of this. My Pixel XL is definitely brighter on minimum brightnes than my Nexus 6, which is disappointing, but I can live with this. There are other features that are more important to me.

There are overlays that will dim the screen also.

Night light is really helpful in dimming the harsh blue light.

I agree, but I would really like to have a lower minimum brightness on this without rooting.
Minimum brightness is too bright imo.

Outdoor visibility (max brightness)

Rate this thread to express how well you can see the Google Pixel 2 XL's display outdoors. In case you've been playing Minecraft for 18 months straight, you might not known how to get outside anymore. Well, find the door and walk through it. A higher rating indicates that it has very high maximum brightness and thus fantastic outdoor visibility in direct sunlight.

Quite frankly poor overall. Second phone and the display is the best of many I have seen on other 2xls so im lucky

Poor like on a sunny day you can't see what's in the view finder for the camera app? Cause I've never experienced that and I'm with Adaptive Brightness on 35%. It could be brighter but definitely not poor.

Really bright and vivid screen. Super shiny though so at times it can be hard to see the screen because of the reflections.
No viewing issues till date as the screen does crank up very high outdoors.
Outdoor visibility is great especially with Samsung their contrast that changes when it notices your in a bright lit area
These days i'm on the beach and the max brightness kicks in for ~2min from standby then it returns to normal brightness and i struggle to see on the screen. Thats in direct sunlight. I dont know why and how to enable to max when in sunlight.its very disappointing. Its from the heat? I use auto brightness and max brightness kicks in for a couple of min but then it dims and i cant use it . When i adjust the bar it says optimised for sun visibility. But it clearly isnt. All this in normal use.browsing ,some photos,whatsapp...
So for me its disapointing. This is when i need the max brightness most and it let me down
Been using the phone for over a year now in a Tropical Country and even in direct sunlight I have absolutely no issues with the brightness. The phone automatically cranks the display upto it's full potential when it senses a bright environment. Really can't expect it to be any better.

The display is so bright outside that it is a bit too bright. I sat under a beach umbrella in the shade and wanted to push the slider back to 80% but he went back to 100%. I tried it 3 times but the slider did not stay there. then I had to turn off the automatic brightness.
I give 5 stars, because I did not have such a bright screen yet.
No worries that I could not see anything on my mobile phone in the sunlight.
I would wish that the slider remains at 80% if I push it there manually.
If you are coming from LCD you notice straight away how vibrant and bright the colors are. No problems whatsoever (even with sunglasses on).
Mi9-the best phone on the market!
Execllent
I think it's a bit too low, fortunately on MIUI the auto contrast feature helps a lot

Question Question for Pixel 7 Pro owners

I like the phone and really want to buy it. However, one thing that keeps me hesitant is PWM on this phone. It’s actually lower than P6 pro had https://9apps.ooo/
I would really appreciate to hear some feedback from those who bought it and use it 5+ hrs SOT daily.
How does the display feels on your eyes in general ? How your eyes feel after reading in complete darkness or candle light for a while ?

First, not sure what PWM is and as for how it affects people's eyes is relative to each person's eyes. Not to mention screen settings are customizable per each person's preferences
By PWM do you mean Pulse Width Modulation ? That should not be a problem on any display as long as you don't have extreme high speed eyes.
Maybe refresh rate but starting with 60 hz it also should be easy on eyes, besides you can use 120 hz which is extremely smooth.
As a "wake up early and play with phone" fella I do not have any problems with flickering light or refresh rate.
I haven't had any issues with this phone but I don't seem to be PWM sensitive anyway.
There is far far more to it than just the PWM frequency! The "common" thought on this is that the LEDs are ON for the ON phase of the PWM cycle, and OFF for the OFF phase, but this isn't actually the case because the circuitry and LED cells have *capacitance*, which basically means that they smooth out the pulses, allowing them to blend together and not actually flicker.
Yes, some really really crappy screens will flicker, but these aren't those. The PWM frequency set will account for the capacitance of the circuits.
