- You can reduce flicker substantially for free!
- The human visual system has variable sensitivity
- to flicker in at least 2 ways: color and intensity.
- The eye's senstivity to it diminishes as colors go
- towards the red end of the spectrum, and also as
- brightness lessens - so use a default palette that
- is shades of amber (the ergonomic shade recommended
- by standards bodies), lessen ambient light, and
- turn the contrast/picture knob down. Play with
- this to find your own best comfort level (including
- the cost savings 8^)...
