If the flicker is there, whether you can consciously detect it or not, it taxes the eyes and mind. So my understanding of LCD technology, is that it will always have a visual/mental impact, though of course they try all sorts of things to mitigate or lessen the impact.
Spot on,i came across a saying by someone not too long ago,screens act as a narcotic for the eyes,there's something about the way current screen tech works that makes people 'stick' to them and i believe alot of computer/internet addiction can actually be traced back to this fact.

I'm also able to absorb and understand what i'm reading much better when reading from an eink display than an lcd.

I wish one day we get a paper ink display that can replace tradition lcd screens for day to day use.
