[filmscanners] RE: Digital Darkroom Computer Builders?

["Paul D. DeRocco" <pderocco@ix.netcom.com>]

When people complain about CRTs fatiguing their eyes, they're usually
talking about flicker, and LCDs don't flicker. All you need to avoid this
with a CRT, though, is a video card and monitor that can support the desired
resolution at a reasonable scan rate. Different people detect flicker at
different frequencies (and the threshold for an individual is often quite
sharp), but I detect no flicker, even in my peripheral vision, at about
70Hz, so I run my monitor at 72Hz. There aren't many cards and monitors that
support 2048x1536 at that rate, though, but my Matrox does.
