The hysteresis of the phosphor makes this a non-issue in reality. 60Hz looks great on a CRT when the input is a game console or VCR from the era.

Maybe you mean screen tearing, bad deinterlacing, etc. caused by software running on a PC?

No, I mean the screen noticeably flickers when displaying a static image at 60Hz progressive.

I mean... are you bobbing and weaving your head while rolling your tongue or what?

I get that CRTs aren't perfect, but I'm not sure how else to reproduce what you're calling "flicker".

perhaps was 60hz interlaced. I had memories of my first CRT monitor only allowing to do 1024x768 in interlaced and doing a very obvious flickering. But was flicker free at 800x600 and lower resolutions.
