Monitor flicker was a significant concern during the CRT era (1980s-2000s) in both Brazil and the USA, with extensive workplace health discussions about its effects on worker productivity and eye health. The term remains relevant in technical discussions, gaming, and professional settings, though modern LCD/LED monitors have largely eliminated this issue. In Brazil, awareness of flicker-related health concerns is particularly high in corporate IT environments.
