Also, the technology is different; reflected light on a screen vs. direct view has different effects on the eye. In general, you can't see more than about 20-24 fps, so that's all that is really needed to capture motion and replay it. However, different display technologies cause other effects, so the display rate has to be higher to overcome the display-specific effects. > but there are people who claim that anything less than 70 > fps on their monitor flickers. With CRTs, it was definately visable, especially under fluorescent lights, but that was because a CRT didn't display the whole screen at once. It only drew a line at a time, and they didn't stay lit the whole frame cycle. On LCDs, that isn't the case. One reason video cards render at higher-than-refresh rates is to be able to do motion blur. -- Chris Adams <cmadams@xxxxxxxxxx> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
