[QUOTE="BillM, post: 4212329, member: 45785"] Lots of things do that, like your computer screen, and mine, TV sets, etc. Persistence of vision is what they called it back in the day. They seem to have changed the names of every other **** thing, so it may be called something different now. The flashing is supposed to be fast enough, and on long enough, that you can't tell it's flashing. Cameras didn't have as much trouble with that, which was why the photos I used to take of a TV screen didn't look right. Digital cameras are apparently better able to see it than film cameras were. When you look at a TV or video monitor, the "Refresh Rate" is how fast the individual dots are blinking. Some humans can see a flicker in 60hz refresh rate TV's and such. And some TV's & monitors do 120hz refresh rates now.
