One final point, though LCDs do not flicker in the same way as CRT, they CAN flicker.
LCD monitor technology and tests

Some of the tests there WILL generate considerable flicker.

matth..... those are interesting tests.

what's interesting is that my samsung 2443bw pretty much is unaffected by most of those tests... the only ones where a flicker effect occurs is a few of the offset ones.. otherwise there isn't any flicker.
