Did I miss the discussion of the variability of phosphor persistence
and monitor color temperature, and how it affects perception of flicker?

There were classic Amiga "devices" consisting of a slightly
darkened piece of plastic. Placed before a monitor displaying
a heavily flickering interlaced high-res Amiga screen, they'd
seemingly reduce the flicker-induced headache.
