PWM in monitors...Is that that bad?

[testudoAubreii]

Is it true that it is bad for your health and that most newer models have it? Is there a way to disable it? Can you get monitors without it? I just received my ASUS PB238Q and learned that it uses PWM for backlighting. I am wondering if I should take it back now and look for other options.

Thanks!

Looks like the strobing effect of PWM can affect some users. Sounds like something similar to "motion sickness".
