Not for me, but others should test if they are comfortable with the
colours, when they work for art print.
And your brain ;).
I'm not sure if it's a myth or true, it's said that stroboscope effects
can cause epileptic shocks even for averaged people. (Hopefully this
won't cause a discussion as the one about 'time'. ;)
A vertically frequency of 60 Hz won't cause an epileptic shock, but at
least effect your well-being.
have you considered getting a tft display and retiring your tube monitor? the energy savings will very likely balance the cost
within a year, plus
you get lots of extra desk real estate. and no stroboscope, ever.
and if you don't rely on excellent wide-gamut color reproduction, even
the cheapest tfts should be sufficient.
Correct, for me the cheapest display would be an advantage at the
moment, but I know lot of artists who dropped their displays and use
their old monitors again.
when i was using crts, i found i also needed at least
85hz to be
comfortable, particularly in the office, where you'd be turning your
head often and then see the strobing trail in the corner of the eye -
very confusing. for the same reason, i still don't like DLP projectors -
i don't see rainbows when looking straight on, but as soon as the head
moves, i feel like i just popped a handful of mushrooms.
To teach children how music instruments work, it might be nice to plug a
string on the concert guitar in front of a monitor. Doing this the
stroboscope is useful :).
Yes, IIRC I also need more than 75 Hz, because moving the head etc.
could cause sense of the flicker. 90 Hz are ok for me and perhaps 80 or
85 too, I don't know.
That reminds me of [avoid name-dropping for now and hopefully for the
future too, at least somebody who knows how to connect speakers] who
told me that he was at a party and a solo entertainer connected the left
and right speakers out-of-phase.
He walked along the danceflour and was shocked when at some point the
phasing hit him by blitz. I guess people who aren't experts guess that
such a blitz is caused by oregano or something similar.

PS: I'm living at the border to the Netherlands. Oregano soon will only
be sold to Dutchmen who are members of an Oregano-Club, otherwise even
Dutchmen needs to eat the Pizza without oregano.
