I definitely notice the 50Hz vs 60Hz difference on my computer. I might
not notice it with a TV signal, though - I've never watched PAL
television. (But I've watched 50Hz 'EuroDemos' on the TV.)
This might not be true for the low price TV sets, but
any TV I (or friends of mine) had within the last
10 years could syncronize 60 Hz b&w and all (but one
tested in 1984) could also display NTSC signals.
Our current television (JVC model no. AV-27965, manufactured in 1995) will
definitely _not_ synch to 50Hz. This annoyed me. All of our old
tube-based monstrosities are perfectly happy with 50Hz.
But north American televisions are primitive relative to European ones. I
would _really_ like it if they'd put SCART connectors on the sets over
here!
