I'm the exact opposite. My eyes have slowly been trained to notice faster and faster changes. 7 years ago, 60 Hz wouldn't cause an issue. Then I started noticing the flickering. Okay, up to 75 Hz. Then I upgraded monitors, and it was defaulted at 85 Hz. So I got used to that. When a game bug in WoW reset my video settings and refresh went to 75 Hz, I was getting headaches from the flicker.
So for a CRT, I need at least 85 Hz to not get a headache, and I can tell the difference between 85 Hz and 100 Hz.
I bought my LCD for other reasons too, the main one being that green focus on my old CRT somehow died (just green, not red or blue), but I can't go back after having no issues :)
Trade yourself in for the perfect one. No one needs to know that you feel you've been ruined!
