Me too. I worked on a psycho-visual model of the human vision system and there are many factors that come into play but this refers to integration time not refresh-rate. It's one of the reasons that digital-TV generally puts out such bad quality video, because it takes a well-trained eye to see it. Take a look at a single frame far from an anchor (I) frame in a high motion scene. A lot of the areas around the movement is a blocky pixelated mess. It's one of the reasons that they give extra bandwidth to sporting events. Unfortunately, I've been trained to see it for my work so I have a hard time viewing today's TV.
