90% of laptops run on 3 cell series, 2 cell parallel packs. They only reason they don't fit is so they can force you to buy new packs. that is a fact. That is why Think pads run on ~16 volts, while the rest of the world uses 19v.
As an electrical engineer, i know the formulas. The 10pF cap would not maintain the LEDs, i know. It would, however, smooth the attack of the flicker. So even tho it would still be flickering, it would be far less noticible. Also, yes, a small amount of power would be consumed, but a good tantalum / high quality film cap would minimize this.
See, i buy LCD's knowing that 800nits is daylight-visible-bright. I also don't buy screens advertising over 10k:1 contrast. While they look great, they hurt your eyes. So my 300nit, 3000:1 20" LCD isn't Apple Cinema picture quality, but, it's perfect for autocad.
My laptops are at full bright usually, my desktop lcds are usually around 80%. My rooms typically have >10klux of light. I like bright. But as i said before, never had a problem with flicker on a working monitor.
Add a 10pF cap, no more flicker. But seriously, i have had ZERO experience with this. None of the 20+ laptop/desktop screens we have at work, or my screens at home (TV/computer) flicker at all. They are all cheap crap LEDLCD's. A few are the newer LEDIPS. Zero flicker. Even when filmed with 60hz cameras, no flicker at all.
yes i missed the sarcasm, but across the entire USA and Canada ain't "Localized," boyo. Comparing our weather patterns over the past 100 years is enough to show drastic changes.
