Open questions
The 240Hz PWM dimming might cause headaches for some users at low brightness.
Limited evidence · What we still need: More user reports or expert analysis on the specific implementation of PWM dimming and its impact on user comfort are needed.
Thermal management effectively prevents throttling, though fan noise is audible under heavy load.
Limited evidence · What we still need: Independent tests with thermal cameras and decibel meters would provide objective data on heat dissipation and noise levels.
