As Carlos said, this helps, especially the part about the games. I
noticed long ago that there was quite a difference between what I saw as
smooth animation and what I perceived as unnoticeable reaction time.
And, since we started discussing frame rates, I have started to notice a
slight flicker on the monitor, like that of a fluorescent (thank God for
spell checkers) bulb.

     Thanks,
