In Germany there are no warnings regarding to photosensitive epilepsy

and in other countries it might be less known too. I never heard that

any 'averaged healthy' person in Germany had PSE caused by flashing

television, even not that there was a hysteria after they send reports

about PSE.
Btw. the only artist's colours with a health label I own, are from

England, warnings about chemical thingy that in Germany are used as food

colouring. So in England there might be a hysteria, but not in Germany,

those things are less known here.
I really have issues with degassing of some cable jackets. There

shouldn't be degassing for a microphone cable, even if it shouldn't be

unhealthy, it's unpleasant and artist tend to be divas and IMO it's ok

to expect that a cable doesn't smell, a monitor doesn't flare.
I won't use a monitor at 60 Hz.
