I'm still using tube monitors. For LCD the refreshing rate doesn't matter, because the screen will be refreshed, but without going out. For a tube monitor it's going out and refreshed, this does cause the stroboscope effect. However, some people are sensitive and even the colors could cause pain. I like to kill all the politicians of the EU, I only own 7 auxiliary reflector "small heating device", when they die, I'm forced to use energy saving lamps, degassing plastic and incomplete light spectrum with evil peaks for the spectrum will cause sickness. Btw. the durability for a reflector lamp is some month, but for a reflector energy saving lamp some hours, max some days only. YMMV! Perhaps it's for some or all LCD displays similar. The angle of vision, colors etc. all this in combination in the sum might cause problems for some people. An artist I know had no health issues using a LCD display, but even an expensive, modern LCD display doesn't show the same color, if you minimal watch it by another angle of vision and it's impossible to keep the same angle of vision. He doesn't use the LCD and use his old monitors again. New isn't always better! Regards, Ralf -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
