I first saw this in a lab in the mid 1980s, before commercially available 100Hz sets. At first I could hardly see flicker even at 50Hz but after a while I became attuned to it. Watching 100Hz pictures felt very relaxed compared to 50Hz.
LCD sets inherently don't flicker, regardless of frame rate. The LCD cells have a zero order hold function by their nature. Motion portrayal is a different problem. LCDs have a laggy response, almost inevitably worse than CRTs, despite the whole arsenal of tricks employed by panel and set makers.
