I Learned that if low freq LED flicker strains your eyes, then there's a chance you'll feel discomfort from emerging display HDR color dithering as well. For example, if the panel is 8bit but it shows you 10bit color space by 8 bit plus A-FRC.
Bought a 2018 Macbook pro and it produces similar symptoms like years ago when I had a laptop with bad low freq LED backlight.
Right now using a late 2010 and a 2013 Macbook Pro both with native screens and on external screens and it does not make my head hurt. 2018 one strains me both on native screen and on my otherwise good daily driver BenQ monitor.
