I don’t have this problem when reading novels or comics on the same devices, what gives?
You really should go to a doctor. Like. really. If it’s common and you don’t have a clear “its this” (like standing up suddenly, or some other condition you know about,) Sudden lightedness that comes and goes could be one of several awful things.
(or it could totally something not scary at all.)
We’re not doctors… (and honestly, it’s not stupid to ask a doctor this. but it is kinda stupid to ask randos on the internet. thats how you wind up snorting ground up leeches or something weird.)
WebMD says it’s a brain tumor. Or an ear infection. Or lupus. But it’s almost never lupus.
Another option is seizures from strobing lights. See a doctor.

People need to understand seizures are not lying on the ground shaking.
Mild seizures can be simple symptoms you described.
Absolutely. My sister had brain cancer. The symptom that sent her to a doctor was “absence seizures”, where she would sit quietly, apparently awake, but unable to respond to anyone speaking to her. She said it was a very strange feeling, being aware but not really “there”. She died six months after diagnosis.
My guess would be motion sickness.
On all screens? All movies and all tv? Is this with a new tv? When you go to the movies with a projector too?
Try changing the tv setting to “movie mode” or “cinema mode”. You can google for the difference it gives.
Could be motion sickness.
