   Dark background flicker, Refresh rate problem?
  Wassup everyone,I hope someone can answer a question or problem that I have. I have an OpenGL program that has a black background and some gray objects / dots. When moving sideways, the dots get brighter.This can be easily replicated on my machine using Microsoft's Paint. Fill a large area with black. Use the paintbrush to scatter dark gray points. Scroll the image up and down, left and right. The points seem to change size, get brighter (flicker) , and if I go fast enough, the points seem to get near the color white.Does this have to do with the refresh rate? I have changed from 60hz to 75hz with no difference. I don't think that is enough to see a difference.Thanks for any input.   
  I'd say it's your monitor. Are you using a tft or crt? Do you have another one you can connect your PC to?   ;  I am using a LCD monitor (Dell, 19"). I hooked it up to a newer Alienware LCD monitor, with the same refresh rate (60), and it didn't seem to do it. The problem came back when I hooked it up to a 46" LCD screen.
