TV sets are likely to have higher-persistence phospher, reducing flicker in
the first order.  TV images (non-computer generated) inherently have less
contrast, less detail and are usually moving, reducing flicker in the second
order.  Finally, people become accustomed to lower frame rates and notice the
flicker less.  My friend and I were raised on the 60Hz refresh rate, and
when we visited Europe, we noticed the 50Hz flicker on TV's right off.
