    The only part of an LCD monitor that could produce a flicker would be the backlight, Which operates at around 200 Hz. (Which appears solid to your eyes.)

    Also, did you know that Movies are usually only 24 frames a second? And that the minimum frame rate so that something appears constant in your brain is 16?

    Yep yep. Also, the Ninja Turtles games. Of course, the Turtles games have always been pretty decent.

    Yeah, my monitor is fantastic. It has connectors for both DVI and VGA on it, and I just have to press a button on the side to switch between them. Since I use the DVI for my computer itself, I don't have any problems.
    I liked the first one , I'm not sure why everyone is so critical at it, but then again, 2 and 3 are masterpieces.

    Aww T_T, when I borrowed my 360 to my PS3 friend, he used that same setup, those DVI/VGA monitors are pretty slick, but I was a bit tight on budget when I bought this PC that I couldn't afford the a bit pricier shiny monitor with analog/digital ports. ):

    That, and girls make an: "Awww, that's so sweet! <3" thing. I always thought that women hated relationships and were maneaters, or at least, the ones in my school.
    Yup, the first one.

    But then I can't talk to anyone about it but Prude, and she's not online.

    I NEED TO TALK TO SOMEONE ABOUT EPISODE 8, I'M SO CONFLICTED.

    Honestly, I don't really understand the concept of taking "breaks," but if it's what you needed that I suppose that's good.

    I'm just happy that Fer is happy.

    Even more time to spend!

    Yes, I'm aware of all of this. I was just mistaken about what I was referring to. I seem to recall reading somewhere that either the response time or the refresh rate of CRT TVs was never listed because it was always too high for it to be an issue.

    And that's why people say that I'm taking my sweet time finishing school because I don't want to marry her.

    Really, you can meet people in the most strange and random ways.

    Refresh Rate, because it's usually in the 80hz+ range.

    A computer monitor's refresh rate might be lower, but it won't cause more eye strain, that's a backlight/brightness thing.

    You should look into selling semen in the meantime. It pays surprisingly well. That and blood. Well shit. I forgot where you lived for a second there. Sell organs, too.

    I'm just happy that Fer is happy.
    Me neither, it just happened, and we agreed to do it, but it worked well for us.

    Thankies. I'm glad you're doing well with your boyfriend too.

    I wish I could do so, but I am required to not watch it unless prude is present.

    We have a backlog as long as my arm.

    I disapprove.

    Isn't it nice that everyone here is taken and happy except Lee? Poor Lee. We should find Lee a woman. (Or a man. I don't judge.)
