It's more than power supply filtering. Watching 50Hz video under 60Hz non incandescent lighting can be bothersome due to differing flicker rates. In my office, when I watch a 50Hz/Pal feed, the screen noticeably flickers when I light the room with fluorescent lighting. With good ol' inefficient incandescent lighting, it isn't nearly as bad. I'd suspect it's probably not as bad the other way around.

I won't even touch the fact that to some 60Hz viewers, a 50Hz video source flickers no matter what, until they eventually become used to it.
