LCD monitor flickers?

[seiyafan]

Sometimes if I view a page with lots dots or wireframes that have high contracts without the background, the image would flicker when I scroll that page up and down, and the flicker rate seems proportional to how fast they move. I don't think this is the smearing caused by slow response time. Anyone know what's going on?

Do you have a link to a site that does that? I'm curious if it does that on my LCD. What LCD do you have?

Visit this page:

scroll down to the gamma chart, then start scroll the page up and down then observe.

Also this page: http://www.graphicdesignetc.com/Calibrate.html

Scroll down about half way and observe the red stripe on the right side as your scroll up and down.

Hmm...mine flickers as well. I have a 25 ms response time on this thing...something lower (like 8 ms) should make it better I think.

I have done similar testing on the 2ms ViewSonic LCD and it flickers too. So I am wondering if it's due to the response time or not.

Yep, it is most definitely a byproduct of slow (rather, a) response time.

yep my 8ms viewsonic VX2025wm has that "flicker" there on those spots. I'll be it has something to do with the LCDs - does it do it on a CRT?

It should to a certain extent on a CRT too (more on higher refresh rates?)

I just went to those sites, and I experienced no "flicker"....I just bought a brand new LG1732TQ with a response rate of 4ms and a contrast ratio of 1400:1...my god! this thing is fabulous! I wont go back to my 19in CRT for anything....no dead pixels, no issues at all! I must say I am glad I waited until now to get one...I bought one for my wife last week and saw how nice it was and had to get one for myself...lol!
