It depends on the persistence of the monitor's phosphor. Typically, people can see flicker at 60 Hz, but not at 85 Hz. It also depends on whether or not the display is interlaced or not, as well as on the individual person's eyes.
monitors can only handle a certain refresh rate. the monitors cababilities will be in the handbook.
you might need a new screen or change the power options
It has to do with the refresh rate. CRTS refesh the screen at a lower rate than LCDS. Although it is possible to raise the refresh rate to a maximum of 75 HZ a second or 75 images a second the digital recorder will record at higher than this so we see the refresh occuring.
Refreshing is needed for maintaining the picture on the screen. Refreshing of screen is done by keeping the phosphorus glowing to redraw the picture repeatedly. i.e. by quickly directing the electronic beam back to the same points.
Lines are visible when taking a picture of a computer screen because of the refresh rate of the screen and the shutter speed of the camera. The refresh rate of the screen and the shutter speed of the camera may not be synchronized, causing the lines to appear in the photo.
Monitor flicker may be caused by loose cables or connectors, refresh rate settings that are incompatible with the monitor, and issues with the monitor's power supply. Other potential causes include electromagnetic interference from nearby electronic devices or a malfunctioning graphics card.
The 75 Hz or 100 Hz, etc., stated in a television's technical specification, means the picture refresh rate in cycles per second. The higher the picture refresh rate, the better the display of small fast-moving objects can be. (Footballs or tennis balls in flight, etc.)
When using computer or laptop, you tend to get eyestrain because of the following reasons. - Prolonged computer use - Poor lighting conditions, glare and distracting reflections - Lesser screen flicker rate (refresh rate)
No matter the brand, you will want something with a high refresh rate. You will want to find something with a rate of 8ms or below. If you want something really nice, a 2-4 ms refresh rate is very good.
By shaky I assume you mean the monitor is flickering, you can fix this by raising the refresh rate on your monitor. Ideally the native resolution and refresh rate work best, most often this is the highest refresh rate supported by your monitor, and the largest resoltuion supported by your monitor. Try changing refresh rate to 60 Hertz first, if it continues flickering, then keep raising the refresh rate until the flickering stops. (Don't forget to click apply after changfing the refresh rate to ensure the refresh rate is changed)
Refresh Rate
Hertz symbolized as Hz, describes the refresh rate of TVs.
