Well, not trying to argue, but the eyes adjust. Like flicker on
American CRTs that we don't notice but drives Euros crazy.

50 Hz vs. 60 Hz.

You have it backwards.

Really? I've worked in facilities with PAL and NTSC. PAL flickers
considerably more than NTSC (50 vs 60Hz field rates) at least with a
video camera as the source. BUT the 3:2 judder might be what bothers
them. In Europe they simply run 24FPS film at 25FPS. Early on they
didn't have pitch correction to fix the 4% fast (2/3 of a
semitone !! ) pitch. I wonder what Barry White sounds like at 4% fast
- likely not good.

Not when one can get a true 1080P LCD for the same price that uses
less
energy.


Yeah but one serious issue is colorimetry change vs viewing angle.
Some LCDs are truly aweful on this score while plasmas are no problem
at all. It depends on what annoys you most.

No, not exactly.
It is 50hz (Euro) vs. 60hz (USA)
What is backwards is that flicker would be more apparent in a 50hz
situation.
That is why I set my computer refresh rate at 85hz.
That is why 120hz HDTVs have a lot going for them

50 Hz vs. 60 Hz.

Odd, I would guess that the higher the frequency the less noticeable
the flicker would be.

Europe, 50hz, US 60hz...either way it's still 50 vs. 60 (or 60 vs. 50,
which ever you prefer).

Hmm..I guess as Alan pointed out, I didn't put it clearly....(makes
less sense when I go back and reread it). That is what I meant, the
50hz interlaced would be more noticeable than 60hz interlaced. Of
course for many, working under fluorescent lighting with CRT's at 60hz
refresh was quite annoying.

I wouldn't think it would be any more annoying as working under
fluorescent lighting with CRT's at 50Hz in countries where that's the AC
freq. It may even be worse at 50Hz.
