How much of a flicker problem is there at 30 Hz? My experience with CRT monitors that were set to a 60 Hz refresh rate was that you got a really annoying flicker when used under fluorescent lights, which also flicker at a 60 Hz rate. Setting the CRT refresh rate to something else cured the flicker. You couldn't see the flicker if you looked directly at the screen, but you could see it in your peripheral vision if you looked slightly to one side of the screen. Since 30 Hz is a harmonic of 60 Hz, it seems like it might have the same problem. -- John F. Eldredge -- [email protected] "Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that.
