At a recent users meeting I was told that a -persistance monitors' disadvantage
is that it has a ghost problem with movement. Does this mean that animation
would smear with a HP monitor or when scrolling text? If so, this makes
640×400 almost useless unless one writes or draws with colors of little
contrast.
the smear problem isn't so bad with text – it might be a little annoying with
graphics. to see an example of the smear, watch an ibm monochrome monitor
while text scrolls.
