    Hey guys check this out, this is really weird with my MBP (sig):

    I'm a musician and I always check this website out: http://www.ctgmusic.com

    The thing is my screen flickers with the background. It's really scary. I can't record any video because my photo camera doesn't see the refresh rate anyways, but it's really freaking me out.

    My request would be, you guys check it out see if it happens to you, just the background.

    Funnier thing, when I try to reproduce the colors and pattern of that exact background, my screen does NOT flicker.

    ARGG!

    I'm using a MacBook, but I don't see any flickers.

    Does it flicker when you scroll, or does it flicker even if you don't move the cursor? If it flickers a little when you're scrolling, that's fine, it has to do with the particular website's background. Mine's does too (when I scroll up and down), and so will any other screen. It just has to do with the density of the lines on that website's background.

    It's just flickering when you look at it, no scrolling no nothing.
