I was at a friend's house. He has a flourescent light that sorta flicker. But it flickers fast enough that you barely notice it, except me. Any time any object moves under that light I can see multi-colored trails. Every time I moved my hand I would see like these red and blue afterimages.

I was thinking about this because I was looking at a white sticker on the side of my work PC. I noticed as I was starting to look away from it that after it reaches a certain point in my peripheral vision I see a blue line on the left, and a yellow/red on the right. Sorta like when a TV's convergence is off.

Does anyone else have this? I get DLP rainbows really bad. Even with the LED samsung sets I can see rainbows. Now for the rest of the day this sticker is going to be bugging me. I can see it just out of the corner of my eye when I look at my monitor... so for the rest of the day I'll be concentrating on that damned blue line on the left side of the sticker.

My wife doesn't have any problems with our DLP set. No rainbows, and she doesn't notice what to me looked like a minor convergence issue (reminds me of the sticker on the PC). Her vision is naturally better than 20/20 and there's absolutely nothing at all wrong with her eyes. So I'm wondering if I'm not just a little bit messed up.


Ok, so the lines on the edges of white only happen on a black background, and only on vertical edges. Someone test this for me with white paper on a black background. Looking straight at it its near impossible to notice, but at maybe at like 35 degrees I start to see it clearly. I don't need drugs to amuse myself, I'm naturally messed up.

Ooh, and its left blue right yellow/red when I turn me head left, and its blue right and yellow/red on the left when I turn my head right. This is kinda cool. I'm so not getting anything constructive done today at work.


Edit: And no, I'm not on drugs. :P I wonder if they would help though...
