Computer Hardware Terms, Glossary and Dictionary

Screen flicker refers to a display screen that appears to flicker, which results from a variety of factors such as the monitor's refresh rate. If the refresh rate is too slow, the screen will appear to glimmer. Another factor is the persistence of the screen phosphors. Low-persistence phosphors fade more quickly than high-persistence monitors, making screen flicker more likely. Screen flicker can also be affected by lighting.
