Scholars of computer technology understand that monitors have something called a refresh rate, measured in Hertz, that indicates how bad of a headache you'll get. At 65 Hz, migraines will occur within an hour of using the monitor. At 70 Hz, it takes four hours. At 75 Hz, a day. The lower the refresh rate, the more flicker there is, because the pixels aren't being re-illuminated enough times per second. I think companies waste a lot of money trying to produce faster refreshing monitors at an affordable cost. My monitorary preference (200 Hz) can be achieved inexpensively with existing technology: first, get two 100 Hz monitors and two wall projection devices. Hook both monitors up to the same video card and project both displays onto the same area of the wall. Presto! 200 Hz! Plus, you can make your display 3D by adjusting the tint on one to red, the other to blue, and offsetting the projectors just a little bit.
