Yes, I could tell if dlp, whenever my eyes moved.

They fixed the issue by increasing the color changing frequency in led beamers.:)

I still see it in even the most modern projectors, but I'm also able to see the flicker in phones that use pwm dimming which only a very small percent of people can see, so sucks to be me. My eyes seem to work at a much higher image capture rate than most people, which has no apparent benefits, only problems

Useless superpowers... :) CRTs must have been fun.

[–] Beacon@fedia.io 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Interestingly enough crts didn't seem to cause a problem, my guess is because the pixel phosphors don't actually flash off, they fade out. But that's just a guess

Interesting.

It was hard for me to tolerate the 50hz flickering. Especially in peripheral vision. Same with fluorescent tubes. Good times (not).

Oh yeah fluorescent tubes are a awful. They're not white, they're sequentially yellow blue yellow blue yellow blue
