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.The difference between Brits and Yanks, I guess. See, the British are long used to low-frequency displays and televisions in the range of 50Hz (The average monitor refresh in the UK is 60Hz), while Americans have long been given years to attune themselves to higher frequencies.
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 :)

I personally can't stand to set a monitor at anything above 65Hz.

Run in little circles,
