I have the same issue but instead of using subtitles I've embraced not knowing what's going on with the show. If it was important that I know for my enjoyment then I'm probably not watching the show anymore. Like if what the actor said was unintelligible I'm going to go with that's part of the plot, a puzzle for me to figure out on the show subreddit or something, but I'm not going to deal with the shitty blinding subtitles some shows display on blinding white over pitch OLED black, it's impossible.
That’s how I watch movies in general. Maybe it’s a symptom of ADHD or lack of interest but I find it hard to remember people’s names and plot reveals that require me to remember to specific locations or details. I just watch movies and enjoy them “generally”.
I hate that feeling. Not knowing if the name they just mentioned is someone important I forgot about or the director is going for a convoluted timeline and they are talking about someone we haven't seen yet.
I have better things to do than watch movies with the risk of not understanding them. It's like saying to read a book "generally." What a waste of time.
But it also depends on the genre. If you're a fan of blockbuster action movies, most dialogue is unimportant anyway. If you enjoy drama or more artsy movies, you probably need to follow what's going on.
I do some of that, because I'm bad with remembering names. If the plot involves talking about someone, I just learned to ignore it and consider non-important.
Just for reference: if you need Subtitles on an OLED, e.g. on Netflix you can set the subtitles to grey (only in the Web app, but is used on all other apps). Had that same problem with the OLED
