Funny enough, I just played some PAL video on a multi-sync TV the other day
And it flickered, but not for long, as Brain adjusts from 60hz to 50hz refresh rate.
Same happened when I went to England, TV's flickered, but only the first day.
That being said, 50 hz TVs would have been more "fatiguing" to watch as brain
has to work harder to mask low refresh/poor motion information.
But, watching PAL easier on brain in another respect: it's slightly higher
resolution (as low resolution also fatiguing to visual processing)
Flicker issue no longer exists as Euro TVs now refresh @ 100 hz
