How to detect PWM
- If the white line appears as a dashed/dotted line, your display uses PWM dimming.
- A solid continuous line means no PWM (DC dimming or high-frequency PWM above perception).
- Lower your monitor brightness to 50% or less - PWM is more aggressive at lower brightness.
- This test works best in a dark room at fullscreen.
