Hello! I bought A33 yesterday and it's almost impossible to use it, especially at night - my eyes really feel in pain! It's my first phone with AMOLED, I used IPS before. I googled and now I know that it's a standard issue for AMOLED screens and is called PWM, so far I have had to use the Screen Dimmer app to fix it, but it's a hack and far from being ideal. I'm asking Samsung company: please, make a software fix for this issue! It makes the experience of using a phone horrible. Please take care of the user's health. I hope somebody from the company will hear me. I know that it's possible to fix, e.g. DC Dimming, It could be added as an optional setting... Please do something.

Thank you for the advice - but it's not a solution for me. I like all features of this smartphone except the screen. And I don't think that shop will exchange it + I believe this problem is relevant for many people, not only me. According to statistics I read, 30% of users feel discomfort with PWM. I don't understand why Samsung doesn't care about it
I have similar issues. I use the dark mode feature and reduce the brightness of the screen. I went even further and enabled the 'Force Dark Mode' feature in Developer Option to force all websites to show in dark mode. It helped me a lot! As for using outdoors in natural lighting (sunlight) that's a whole different ball game. I can't see diddley without my transition lens on. Other than that I let Google do the search and handle my speech commands bcuz Bixby is not adept in handling commands. Off topic BIXBY needs an update or SAMSUNG should let GOOGLE ASSISTANT be default.
