AC is 50Hz or 60Hz depending on where you are, so HP settled on a 55Hz refresh rate so that it shouldn't be affected by fluorescent lighting. If there are, however, some lingering effects then you can get closer to a 50Hz refresh rate if you're in an area where AC frequency is 60Hz, or closer to 60Hz if AC is at 50Hz where you are.

This said, I don't know what the boundaries are.

In another thread, there's a program that shows flicker on particular screen but not others. Is changing the refresh rate the answer? I see the flicker even when the only light in the room is sunlight. What's the frequency of the sun?
