That's really interesting. I'm not brain damaged (at least not more than most people, heh) but I always had a pretty strong preference for higher refresh rate screens. They just seem calmer to me. Never had an issue with dimming but I'll take your anecdote as a canary in the coal mine on DC vs PWM. It's probably better for everyone to avoid flickering even if we don't notice there's a problem.
