When I goes to where I live now (2011), in the triple border with Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay, the TV stations are transmitting in analog mode yet. The Argentinian ones and some Paraguayan are 50Hz, because in these countries the power lines are 50Hz. In Brazil is 60Hz as in the USA (hence the PAL-
M). I instantly noticed the flicker from 50Hz stations. 60Hz (in 480i) also produces some flicker but is less annoying.
CRT monitors capable of higher V scan ratios and hence resolution, you can apply 75, 85, 100 or even 120Hz (I have one that supports it but only at 1024x768, and supports 1600x1200 at 85Hz) and then not notice any flicker.
