Hello Marc,
which refresh rates do you use?
When I buy a Flight Simulator, there is a card in the package that warns me
for *epilepsy*.
It is the flickering of the images on the monitor that are the cause for it.
When I play a game, where I have to move through long tunnels, I get also
feelings of nausea, when I play too long.
The very fast moving pixels, with their contrasting colors, do have that
effect.
In Japan, a number of children watching TV fell sideways because of this
epilepsy. There was a special film, with a lot of flickering images.
So, it is quite understandable, that you may feel uncomfortable with certain
refresh rates.
Normally, it is, that as high as possible gives the best relaxing view.
But it is possible, that you, as an eSens people, just gets irritated at
certain refresh rates.
Perhaps you should test all of them, just to know which ones you can not
bear.
