How is that even possible? In other words, a stable non-flickering image hurts your eyes while flickering image does not?

Re: tips on reducing eye strain
how? its like asking how is it possible to be a great swimmer and your not, and want to know how.

the answer its either by practice ,design or completely natural.
Cowardice is no selfishness, Friendliness is no enemy and Information is no attack platform.

Judge these words wisely and you might make it through this cruel world.

Re: tips on reducing eye strain
I see subtle flickering below 100hz in Windows but find 85hz fine for games, which are usually darker than screens of text. I use 120hz in Windows anyway.

And there's no way anyone could find 60hz better than 75hz, if that was the only factor involved. What might be happening is that your monitor is crappy and is becoming blurry at its maximum frequency.

Re: tips on reducing eye strain
im used to 60hz, like i said, anything higher hurts my eyes. if i go for a lcd tft, i hopefully will be able to try different refresh rates.

so you got a sensitivity or a sixth sense of sorts :rolleyes:, i have also. i can hear a tv switching on it's electrical charge from the kitchen and their are 3 walls separating me from the living room it's also the same with a computer monitor, once it's on i can hear the noise both these electron throwers and i can also hear them making their respective refresh rate changes.

60hz on a LCD doesn't flicker like that on a CRT, because there isnt a laser that streams across the screen. With that said, its probably better for your eyes on an LCD to keep it at 60hz

Re: tips on reducing eye strain
If an LCD actually supports 75hz, many things in motion can look noticeably smoother than at 60hz. The mouse pointer is a good example. However, there are very few LCDs that do 75hz properly, even when the setting is available. I only know of two, and I don't think either one is in production now.
