The 50Hz I have seen has all been in 50Hz South American countries, Malaysia,
and England.

I was in Malaysia at the height of the CRT to flat screen "always on"
transition and the flicker difference between
CRT and LCD was amazing. In the US one could see flicker (at 60 HZ)
on CRTs only on the brightest computer monitors with a full-white
screen. It seemed to go away about 72 or 75 Hz

Of course, given the terrible 50HZ flicker problem, perhaps
European producers avoided white screens even more
than ours did (because of blooming in tube sets
on white screens).

I never noticed a resolution difference between 525 and 625 lines,
vertical resolution. But I never compared side to side.
