LCD inversion pattern tests: http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/inversion.php

On my monitor, pattern 2(a) flickers "strongly" (compared to any others) and pattern 4(a) less so.

It still does if you turn on autoscroll and allow the pattern to shift slowly.

Your display will almost flicker like a CRT@60 hz if you watch it from above with your head tilted up.
