No flickering on my GRT Onyx black screen.

Hi Rob,

no flickering on my TR5 even under the aforementioned conditions.

It's a strong flicker, if it was there you wouldn't miss it. I find it hard to believe it's the technology that's faulty, it's much more likely a production fault.

On my A197VP I diden't notice nothing, is the flicker very stong, or only a little small flicker???

unfortunately, with low brightness the flicker is very strong... only a little noise on max brightness....

I have tried out what you suggested and I can't see a flickering of the display (VGN-A115M). I have tried it out on several different brightness settings and angles. Due to large inaccuracies which occur in most electronic components, I could imagine that those inaccuracies have added up and caused the fault in your display.
