It may be different for others -- I'm just sharing my experience. It is a great way to train your peripheral vision, though.
Depends on the person, but it also depends on your monitor.Myke B wrote:

I play on an 8 year old 17" with CCFL backlight. Everything that moves is extremely blurry, but I kinda prefer it instead of a LED backlight because those still blurr. The difference is LED backlight will blurr multiple clearer and more detailed images, which I find much more disorienting to focus on than a smooth blurr. This is all solved by cashing out on a freaking awesome monitor though... which I don't really feel like doing. In my country it costs nearly 3 times more than the exchange rate for a high-end 120hz monitor for that much-wanted lightboost feature.
You can get used to it. I have been getting used to it to the point I barely even notice the blurr anymore. The human brain is amazing, but I'd rather I didn't have to go through the ordeal of my eyes involuntarily twitching the whole time for 2 weeks solid :/ I felt like punching myself.
