The flicker of a CRT monitor can cause various symptoms in those sensitive to it such as eye strain, headaches [9] in migraine sufferers, and seizures in epileptics. [10]As the flicker is most clearly seen at the edge of our vision there is no obvious risk in using a CRT, but prolonged use can cause a sort of retinal shock where the flickering is seen even when looking away from the monitor.
Flicker: Perceptible on lower refresh rates (60 fps and below) [22] Depends; in 2013 most LCDs used PWM to dim the backlight [23] However, since then many flicker free LCD computer monitors were introduced. [24] Does not normally occur due to a high refresh rate higher than FPS [25] Does not normally occur at 100% brightness level.
On CRT displays, higher refresh rates produce less flickering, thereby reducing eye strain. In other technologies such as liquid-crystal displays, the refresh rate affects only how often the image can potentially be updated. [1] Non-raster displays may not have a characteristic refresh rate.
In the days of CRT displays, the afterglow of the display's phosphor aided this effect. Interlacing provides full vertical detail with the same bandwidth that would be required for a full progressive scan, but with twice the perceived frame rate and refresh rate. To prevent flicker, all analog broadcast television systems used interlacing.
Flickering of the image can be partially solved using a long persistence phosphor coating on the CRT so that successive images fade slowly. However, slow phosphor has the negative side-effect of causing image smearing and blurring when there is rapid on-screen motion occurring.
Different display technologies have vastly different temporal characteristics, leading to perceptual differences of motion, flicker, etc. Sketch of some common display technologies' temporal behaviour. The figure shows a sketch of how different technologies present a single white/grey frame. Time and intensity is not to scale.
The flicker fusion threshold, also known as critical flicker frequency or flicker fusion rate, is the frequency at which a flickering light appears steady to the average human observer. It is a concept studied in vision science , more specifically in the psychophysics of visual perception .
Noise, static or snow screen captured from a blank VHS tape. Noise, commonly known as static, white noise, static noise, or snow, in analog video, CRTs and television, is a random dot pixel pattern of static displayed when no transmission signal is obtained by the antenna receiver of television sets and other display devices.
