This is not what the research has shown -- readability is produced by high contrast. That's why books are printed on white paper and not grey. Ask in comp.human-factors. If a white screen flickers for you, you should probably try a higher refresh rate. I have 75 Hz and I would like to go higher. This is important even for grey backgrounds, because although you may not consciously notice the flicker, it is still straining your eyes. Drop to a lower resolution and gain a few Hertz in exchange. -- Shields, CrossLink. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
