This is simply not true (suggest http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refresh_rate). The actual 'flicker' is around 200Hz which I doubt comes into play in this case. Let me reiterate that I do what you are doing often and do not observe this symptom. Maybe it is some sort of interaction between graphics card and monitor?
