If we play gaming and watch multimedia then "Flicker Free" is bad because we may get (originally) motion blur. NOTE: faster response time does NOT belong less motion blur. See more info. 😉

+1 Also: - I call all that blue light woo - Any quality monitor has no issues with flicker related to power line (50/60Hz) or poor backlight PWM implementation. It's not related to 120Hz strobe found in some monitors, where it decreases perceived motion blur, as it's just too fast. Even 50Hz (EU) / 60Hz (US) strobe is difficult to see for the most of people, including peripheral vision, which is much faster than central. If you can't see fluorescent light flicker, you're pretty much fine even when using monitors with el-cheapo backlight... well unless manufacturer opted for pretty bad refresh rate to pwm ratio without filters (http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/articles/pulse_width_modulation.htm) - Low dimming? Really?

I have genuinely never in my life seen a flickering, non-CRT monitor. I don't understand why this is suddenly a feature instead of a characteristic...

"Then there is also the new XB280HK - a 28" 4k resolution gaming monitor with G-sync, the World's first 4k G-sync model in fact. This supports 60Hz max refresh rate..." I thought G-Sync was 120hz only.

I'm very sensitive to screen flicker, so much so I went through 6 monitors in a year until I found one that I couldn't see any. Ended up with a 2560x1440 Dell monitor (Can't remember the model) and I no longer have a problem, someone on another forum said it would be good for me and he was right:banana:

My LG Flatron E2251T-BN suffers from flicking when connected by D-Sub. With DVI it's fine though.

Leave the room you're at in total darkness except the LCD. Set the backlight to anything that's not 100%. Wave your had in front of the LCD. There you've got the flickering. Even if you don't "see" it, you're eyes suffer it. In this case, I think that it doesn't have to do with refresh rates (as some imply) or in ghosting, just that the backlight works differently from other LCDs.
