AHA! So this could explain everything in my case - I'm partially colour blind between red, brown and green! The nystagmus I suffer from is the reason I'm so susceptible to flicker, but maybe this colour problem is why I don't get on with NTSC
I thought it was just me who saw the colour banding problem on plasmas (my eyes do weird things all the time!). Thank GOD it's not!
BTW - when in my old house share, we had Sky Digital (digital satellite). ON things like Futurama, colour banding was all over the shop - truly awful. Combine that with 100hz processing AND plasma, and you can have some of the worst colour pictures ever devised!
