Question

Flicker-free laptop

Mar 25, 2015 4:35PM PDT

Hello, I am looking for a laptop (15,4 inch screen at most, whatever technology, whatever resolution, under 1200 dollars) with a screen being flicker-free throughout the whole range of brightness. Do you know of any such laptops? As flicker causes me great discomfort, migraine, eye sore etc.
Cheers!

The stock frame rate is 60 and folk with good vision (fighter pilots?) can pick up that flicker. I don't know of any 120Hz laptop displays today.

There's also the issue of gaming or videos that have flicker built in. No laptop can remove that entirely.
