CRT monitors tend to get a lot of tearing with faster frame-rates, because the graphics card is displaying images faster than the monitor can refresh... and on low refresh rates some people can actually see the monitor updating or flickering.
Apparently with LCD screens this deosn't occur, because the liquid display remains consistently charged and therefore deosn't need to refresh itself. But LCD's do have a response time, wich I assume is the speed at which the liquid crystals respond to the electrical current... So therefore an LCD is still capable of responding slower than the framerate, deos this cause tearing or does the framerate just looks slower than usuall???
Is this decrease in frame-rate dramatic, deos this mean that an LCD with a 16ms respons time is capable of displaying a maximum frame-rate of 62.5fps (16/1000 = 62.5)???
