Yes they do. British TV sets generally run at 50Hz, and US sets go at 60Hz
(I think), but they only show about 20-25fps. Remember, though, that your
peripheral vision (like out of the corner of your eye) is far more sensitive
than the rest of your vision, and so if you look at a monitor out of the
corner of your eye, the flicker is still noticable. Also note the strain a
slow screen rate puts on your eyes. Try looking your monitor when it's
running at 60Hz for a long time, especially if it's only a foot or so in
front of your eyes, and you'll see what I mean.
