What issues would there be for displaying something on a screen for exactly 16ms?

Question

Hi there, just wondering how viable it is to display something (in this case a face) on a monitor for exactly 16ms (milliseconds)?

Presumably you'd have issues with refresh rates and phosphorus(?) decay (or so I've been told) but I'm not a tech head so perhaps someone infinitely more knowledgeable than me could fill me in?

Answer 1

16.667 mS is what you will get with a 60 Hz refresh rate.

If you use an LCD panel with a nice low response time and run it at 60 Hz then all you have to worry about is how to persuade the system to put up a picture for a single frame.
