6 The flicker filter essentially blends the value of vertically adjacent pixels to decrease the differences in adjacent odd/even 

lines. This dramatically reduces the noticeable image flicker, but equally as noticeably reduces the level of vertical detail as 

compared to the original computer display.

the unit, since the unit “remembers” the last setting that was saved
