While internally the display driver is likely refreshing every pixel 60 times per second, it's not doing so by blanking and then resetting the pixel. If a pixel is white this frame and going to be white next frame, there's no flicker between the "old" white and the "new" white.
Of course backlights can introduce flicker at their cycle rate (for cold cathode lights), but that flickering would be no worse than what you'd get reading an e-ink display using a CFL lamp. LED lights don't flicker unless they're artificially dimmed by rapidly turning them on and off. Thankfully that's not often used.
Which was another one of my points. Thanks for reiterating it.

Did I say that LCD panels did have a flicker/refresh rate, read the quote you cleverly highlighted in bold... it was a list of some of the physical triggers that are relevant as I said:

Flicker and refresh do apply to lighting problems other than screens (and they would be CRT anyway as you say). Just because you misinterpret what I said doesn't stop the irritation at the incredibly annoying condescension of assuming someone doesn't understand the technology... I suspect I've been using computer tech for longer than you've been on the planet... and again, if you read what I wrote then you would have seen that if I don't understand something then I would ask, I don't need a patronising lecture...
