Nothing, no flickering or anything out of ordinary.

4b was flickering what does that mean?

"Strong flicker indicates that the voltages in the monitor are misadjusted. "
box 3 flickered a tiny bit on my netbook. you almost don't notice it.
4b is flickering abit, i was expecting much much worse. Considering this is a dell LCD from 2001 using VGA instead of DVI
Each darker square should be clearly identifiable from the background it's on. This is easily change by adjusting your contrast/brightness.
The same test as the OP. You will probably see flickering on 4a or 4b. Try adjusting your refresh rate to the maximum at the native resolution, I adjusted mine on my secondary monitor from 60Hz to 75Hz and it reduced flicker dramatically.
Try this one in full-screen. Click the link and press F11, and view it from a few steps back.
If it looks like this or this then try adjusting your colour settings.

http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/display_se … managementThis collection of test images is supposed to help you evaluate and adjust your monitor. However, your operating system (Windows, MacOS, Linux) can alter the images to compensate your monitor. Before adjusting the contrast, brightness, and gamma settings of your monitor, you should switch off all color management in your operating system. To make things more complicated, there two locations where this can happen:
The color profile loaded by the operating system (Windows: Display properties > Advanced > Color management > Profile). Set this to 'None' or 'sRGB'.
The video card color correction settings, for the more advanced video cards. Set everything to neutral.
4a and 4b flicker ever so slightly. The link doesn't.
Hey, I posted a link to this site in a previous thread.
Just sayin'.

What? Uzique, the faster an image gets reproduced, the easier it is on the eyes. The lower the Hz, the worse it is. Not the other way around.Uzique wrote:

Win7 won't let me set anything other than 60Hz.
Your monitor probably doesn't support it.ghettoperson wrote:

For some reason mine was set to 59Hz ... why do I even have that option? Changed it to 60Hz and there's less flicker on that image above. 4a was flickering, now it's not. Only 4b is.
Dunno, it's quite common though.liquidat0r wrote:

ok, so 2a and 4a flicker, but when i scroll past the picture, and then back to it, it's switches to 2b and 4b. And then when I do that again it switches back to 2a and 4a.
creepy.
creepy.
Oh yeah, same. Interesting.
The a/b variants are the same, except that they depend on the position of your browser window
Tiny little bit of flicker on 4a, lowered the contrast and brightness slightly and now there's no flickering at all, cheap Samsung monitors ftw.
4a & 2a flickers and the last a a tiny bit..
I can't see the last row of contrast squares...
Not changing settings, I like it as is.
My monitor is walking all over the darkness test, perfectly...

Your thoughts, insights, and musings on this matter intrigue me
I have nothing at all on both laptop and home monitor. I can make out 251 on my laptop and see them all on my monitor.
The white saturation one depends entirely on where I have my head. At a normal sitting position I can see all but the last one, but if I put my eyes level with the middle (height) of the screen then I can't see 249 onwards.
Also I just played with everything and the settings that were "best" seemed to look terrible, made everything really bright and pale.

Thats due to bad viewing angle of your monitor. Don't be depressed because 90% of all monitors (TN panels) have bad viewing angle.liquidat0r wrote:

I was thinking of getting a 120hz monitor myself but didn't. The tradeoff was either 120hz or 2560 resolution + 16.7 million colors + perfect viewing angle. Maybe in the future they would make IPS monitors with 120hz.
