Interesting - so LCDs with faster refresh rates are more dangerous emf-wise? The reason this is "interesting" to me is because, IIRC - I've read info (was it on the Conrad Biologic website?) indicating that faster refresh rates are supposed to be healthier for the eyes and brains of those who are sensitive to screen refresh rates (which I may be - subconsiously, at least).So I guess it may be a trade-off - what you may gain in visual comfort, you may "lose" in electromagnetic comfort.
120Hz LCDS are much more expensive anyway (and they may not even make any "small" LCDs with 120Hz refresh rates) - it may not be worth paying the extra $$$ for a visual relief that I may or may not feel.
Thanks to everyone who replied in this thread - appreciate it.
