Re: LCD monitors do not flicker?

I have always been sensitive to CRT flicker at 60 hertz or less. But my current big LCD monitor has been at 60 hertz for many months with no noticeable flickering. Is that true for most or all
LCD displays?

Thanks.

Yes.

People used to think their dogs can't watch TV like we do. Dogs have a higher refresh rate than we humans. Where we see a moving picture of a car at 60Hz (or 50Hz) they see a flickering mess. The flickering may grab a dogs attention for a bit, but that's it. They don't react to the image of another dog on a CRT.
Now with LCDs without a flickering refresh - dogs are now responding.
Best one, look up "Mr. Woofie angry cat" on youtube. A Golden Retriever is seen reacting intensely to a cat going crazy on a Macbook.
Its science!
