PWM backlight dimming- a problem?

[Mr Happy]

hello

Ive been looking at the asus monitor below

http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/reviews/asus_pb278q.htm

The review states it uses PWM backlight dimming.

Ive heard this can give people headcahes.

Would this be something I should be wary of before buying? (I was almost going to buy it before that stopped me)

do any of you have any experience/negative experience of PWN backlight dimming?

thanks for any input

PWM is an issue also backlight spectrum and excessive brightness... i think all are really important.

Yes, its a problem. I would never buy a monitor now or in the future that uses PWM.

PWM is an issue I think it will be removed in future monitors.

Check out the revised version , PB278QR , its an ah-ips panel with no pwm dimming and uses the same bezel. Problem is it's availability.
