In Germany there are no warnings regarding to photosensitive epilepsy and in other countries it might be less known too. I never heard that any 'averaged healthy' person in Germany had PSE caused by flashing television, even not that there was a hysteria after they send reports about PSE. Btw. the only artist's colours with a health label I own, are from England, warnings about chemical thingy that in Germany are used as food colouring. So in England there might be a hysteria, but not in Germany, those things are less known here. I really have issues with degassing of some cable jackets. There shouldn't be degassing for a microphone cable, even if it shouldn't be unhealthy, it's unpleasant and artist tend to be divas and IMO it's ok to expect that a cable doesn't smell, a monitor doesn't flare. I won't use a monitor at 60 Hz. -- Ralf _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
