    You should make backgrounds red, and texts green. Or vice versa. Works wonders for your sanity. :rolleyes: Seriously, you should go have your eyes checked by an optician(?). I did, got a pair of glasses, and I have no problems at all with "flickering monitors" anymore. -- Futue te et ipsum caballum.

      I remember reading somewhere that once a given animation reaches a little over thirty frames per second, it appears continuous to the human brain - the brain "fills in the gaps" Jeremy Kimball

              It doesn't work as frames per second. It operates on the difference between 1 perception and the next and the human brain's frequency is around 16 Hz.

                      If this is happening, make sure the framrate of the monitor is at least 25Hz greater than the frequency of your mains supply. For example, in the UK we have 50Hz mains so I set my monitor refresh rate to 75Hz. This is because there is some flicker from the lighting and when you move your eyes the effect of this on the flicker from the monitor can produce effects at the dfiierence of the two, e.g. 60Hz - 50Hz gives a 10Hz flicker which means your eyes have trouble keeping focus as they move. Let me know how is goes. Elaine :rose: The tigress is here :-D
