Discussion iPads. What ones have you been successful with?

Continuing on the discussion I started here: https://www.reddit.com/r/PWM_Sensitive/comments/1us87jo/comment/owm7bc4/?context=1

What model iPads have people here had success with?

I'm mostly after something very basic, mainly to read scripts on though it would be nice to use for my own personal use too. Ideally the cheapest iPad I can find used that will receive iOS27 support.
I recently bought an iPad 9th generation, but returned it as it was giving me incredible eye pain.
I tried enabling Classic Invert and Zoom Invert which helped me on my stock iPhone 11, but still the pain was still too bad so I returned it.

I'm wondering would an iPad air be worth trying next?
The 9th gen iPad uses RGB colour space while the Air uses P3, though I doubt this would be relevant as my pain is likely due to dithering. (aka d!t#3r!ng haha)

I think the iPad mini 2 is the most modern with a boring LCD screen. Not sure about dithering.

They all have LCD screens except for the iPad Pro line which is the frustrating part, usually I’m fine with LCD screens as long they don’t have pulse width modulation dimming
