My peripheral vision can detect the 120 Hz flicker of florescent lights as well as flicker in computer monitors. Drives me crazy. The scan rate of most computer monitors is closely related to multiples of the scan rate of a NTSC television signal scan rate. This leads to a signal that is often twice the rate of NTSC scan. But since the monitors are not synchronized, the computer monitor will show lighter and darker areas depending on it's scan rate. Computer monitors will vary in their "look" on television, from a whole screen flicker to a darker colored bar that works it's way down the screen. This is all due to the scan rate frequencies. Yes, the exception would be if the monitors and the TV camera are synchronized, as might be done with the news set.
