2021 M1 Max 16 inch PWM flicker issue

Hi,


Does anyone know when Apple will be releasing a flicker free display for their MacBook Pros?


Or whether there is a solution to the 2021 M1 Max 16 inch PWM flicker issue?


I’ve recently upgraded my 15 inch MacBook Pro retina with a 16 inch MacBook Pro M1 Max. My old MacBook Pro used DC dimming tech that didn’t cause any eye strain but unfortunately my new M1 Max hurts my eyes due to the PWM (Pulse-Width-Modulation) dimming tech which is inferior, and causes eye discomfort.


I need a solution and am asking whether improving the display is on the roadmap?


Or whether there is some way in which I can make using the computer bearable? Without needing to buy a monitor. 


I will likely sell my new M1 Max at a financial loss and migrate away if I can’t get answers.


Attached is a picture demonstrating the issue.
