The response is much slower for the point at which you are looking. If you look at a 65-70 Hz light source, you may or may not notice flicker, but if you look slightly to the side of it, you likely will notice more pronounced flicker. Also, the persistence of the phosphor in the display will tend to smooth out flicker at the expense of image quality due to smearing. All these factors go into designing the compromise that sits on your desk. :-) Rob -- Robert Lisowski - via FidoNet node 1:107/330 UUCP: ...!rutgers!rubbs1!Robert.Lisowski ARPA: Robert.Lisowski@rubbs1.FIDONET.ORG \...!rutgers!rubbs1!Robert.Lisowski
