The result for some people is that when they are intently focussed on a screen it affects the brain causing headaches, nausea, or in a few extreme cases seizures.
Iīve played games on several different monitors (never with flat ones though, but will get one somewhen in distant future) and changed the refresh rates too, and they don't seem to make a difference. Itīs never been an issue with video games, might be because Iīve never played 1st personīs with a console. Iīve always thought that the problem comes from a strong sense of "being there" [img]smile.gif[/img] , and it often happens when being a passenger in some vehicle. But maybe not.

DB, good to know that there is someone.

Blind Prophet, that makes sense, but I AINT going to go that low...

Ornery One, well I have some troubles with strobos, true. But you seem to have it much worse. If used in wrong place, they are really annoying.
