Wrong.  Multisynch monitors (usually) use phosphors optimized for 1/60th of
a second.  They will flicker hideously when driven at a 1/30th refresh rate
(when they support it at all.)  Long persistence monitors don't flicker.
THAT's what you get for your extra 2-300 bucks....
 
What ever happened to the C-A long persistence monitor?  :-(
