Most of the LCD panels, though, seem to use fluorescent tubes as the illumination source. Presumably they will still be running at 60Hz? If so, I can see there being a possible problem with flicker if (like me) you are particularly sensitive to the problem. The LED screens (illuminated by white LEDs, not fluorescent tubes) are stll leading-edge, and pretty expensive when you can find them. They're not available in anywhere as many sizes/resolutions, either. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
